Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is a standard tool used in the setting of recent sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). By tracking velocity in the circle-of-Willis vessels, vasospasm can be detected as interval velocity increase. For this disease process, repeated TCD velocity measurements over many days is the basis for its usefulness. However, a…[Read more]

Lung cancer is one of the malignancies exhibiting the fastest increase in morbidity and mortality, but the cause is not clearly understood. The goal of this investigation was to screen and identify relevant biomarkers of lung cancer.

Publicly available lung cancer data sets, including GSE40275 and GSE134381, were obtained from the GEO…[Read more]

Three paths of atypical arteries were identified bifurcated vertebral artery (0.5%), aberrant right subclavian artery (0.5%) and left subclavian ostium obstruction (0.5%).

Mexican population has one of the highest prevalence of variations in the aortic arch branching pattern. The high probability of finding these should be taken into…[Read more]

The depletion attraction robustly dominates over the quadrupolar elastic attraction if disks come close. Self-assembly of many disks proceeds via intermediate chaining, which demonstrates that in lyotropic liquid crystal colloids depletion interactions play an important role in structure formation processes.Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an…[Read more]

istency and should undergo further evaluation. The Swedish RCAC is recommended to be used in research settings for measurement of concerns related to fertility and parenthood in young women with cancer.

The translation and cultural adaptation of the Swedish RCAC has resulted in a scale demonstrating construct and known-groups validity, and…[Read more]

Pulse wave velocity is an established marker of early vascular aging but may also help identifying individuals with supernormal vascular aging. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with the largest difference (Δ-age) between chronological and vascular age show the lowest rate of cardiovascular events and may thus be defined as supernormal…[Read more]

Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are widespread protein-based organelles composed of metabolic enzymes encapsulated within a protein shell. The function of MCPs is to optimize metabolic pathways by confining toxic and/or volatile pathway intermediates. A major class of MCPs, known as glycyl radical MCPs has only been partially characterized.…[Read more]
