Stent placement for basilar artery (BA) stenosis remains a technical and clinical challenge. This retrospective study introduces the experience with the Apollo balloon-expandable stent (BES) for patients with symptomatic BA stenosis in a single centre in China. Sixty one patients who had undergone intervention for severe symptomatic BA stenosis…[Read more]

Au is an ideal noble metal as an electrocatalyst for ethanol oxidation reaction owing to its high performance-to-cost ratio. The catalyst usually exists as nanoparticles (NPs) for high surface area to volume ratio. In the present paper, a non-traditional physical approach has been developed to fabricate ultra-small and homogeneous single…[Read more]

Inhibition of HDAC4 also improved cardiac function in HF mice. Moreover, knockdown of GLUT1 impaired the systolic and diastolic function of isolated cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, exercise improves cardiac function and glucose metabolism in HF mice through inhibiting HDAC4 and upregulating GLUT1 expression.Metabolic engineering is usually focused…[Read more]

RESULTS There is a wide misperception about obesity amongst black Africans living in an urban setting in Soweto. Participants who admitted to being fat or overweight did not view themselves as such. This could be attributed to unchanging socio-cultural factors that reinforce the acceptability of bigger bodies and living in obesogenic environment.…[Read more]

man gut microbiota, suggesting that we have identified key evolutionary processes shaping the genetic composition of this community.BACKGROUND Globally, few studies compare progress toward the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Fast-Track targets among migrant populations. Fast-Track targets are aligned to the HIV diagnosis and care…[Read more]

Photonic delay-based reservoir computing (RC) has gained considerable attention lately, as it allows for simple technological implementations of the RC concept that can operate at high speed. In this paper, we discuss a practical, compact and robust implementation of photonic delay-based RC, by integrating a laser and a 5.4 cm delay line on an InP…[Read more]

The purpose of this case report is to raise awareness of the early diagnosis and treatment of compartment syndrome in children. Late diagnosis can lead to irreversible outcomes, including myonecrosis, neurologic injury, functional problems, and even amputation. In this age group, clinical judgment may be enough to proceed with fasciotomy. © 2020…[Read more]

Compared to chemoradiotherapy, induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation was shown to be non-inferior, and it could decrease the distant metastatic progression, especially in high-risk populations. For selected patients, induction chemotherapy could be a strong option. The chemoselective process that leads to immediate surgery for…[Read more]

We introduce the scalar average similarity of an ensemble of randomly polarized states. This global measure is based on the complex degree of mutual polarization between any pair of vector fields in the ensemble. We show that, in the case of fully correlated and globally unpolarized fields, the variation of this parameter is bounded, and its value…[Read more]

3% of energy) having a CHD HR of 0.39 (95% CI 0.22, 0.71), compared with 0.92 (95% CI 0.57, 1.48) for those in the lower quartile of change (decreased total protein ≥0.6% of energy), with P-trend of 0.04. CHD HR did not vary significantly with change in percentage energy from carbohydrate, and stroke HR did not vary significantly with any m…[Read more]

Indeed, it is conceivable that a specific low-frequency electromagnetic fields treatment may cause the reprogramming of H3K27me3 and cell differentiation.Background Body size in adult life is likely associated with risks of endometriosis and adenomyosis, yet little is known about associations with body size earlier in life.Aim To examine whether…[Read more]
