Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a common urological emergency and affects a significant patient population. The inability to eliminate urine may lead to permanent damage to the bladder’s structure and functioning. However, we know little about the underlying molecular sequelae to the urine retention. To closely mirror the potential high pressures…[Read more]

During the double-blind treatment phases, 2.4% of patients from the treatment groups and 1.5% of patients from control groups attempted suicide, with zero deaths by suicide in both the treatment and control groups during this phase. Based on the overall pooled samples, studies were assessed to be relatively safe, and the continual inclusion of…[Read more]

Heme proteins are ideal systems to investigate vibrational energy flow at the atomic level. Upon photoexcitation, a large amount of excess vibrational energy is selectively deposited on heme due to extremely fast internal conversion. This excess energy is redistributed to the surrounding protein moiety and then to water. Vibrational energy flow in…[Read more]

Patients with primary tumor resection had significantly better 5-year survival rate (27.2 vs. 5.6%, P less then 0.001) compared to the non-resection group. Chemoradiotherapy with primary site resection was associated with the longest mean and 5-year OS (44.7 months, 32.4%). The Cox regression analyses of the subgroup indicated that patients who…[Read more]

Some previous studies suggest that humans do not conform to geometric similarity (isometry) in anthropometric dimensions of the upper and lower limbs. Researchers often rely on a single statistical approach to the study of scaling patterns, and it is unclear whether these methods produce similar results and are equally robust. This study used one…[Read more]

Functional studies confirmed oncogenicity of JAK2 fusions identified in pcAECyTCL and their sensitivity to JAK inhibitor treatment. Our findings strongly suggest that overactive JAK2 signaling is a central driver of pcAECyTCL, and consequently, patients with this neoplasm would likely benefit from therapy with JAK2 inhibitors such as FDA-approved…[Read more]

Marine algae are a major source of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-LCPUFAs), which are conditionally essential nutrients in humans and a target for industrial production. The biosynthesis of these molecules in marine algae requires the desaturation of fatty acids by Δ6-desaturases, and enzymes from different species display a ra…[Read more]

Cannulation strategies in medical treatment such as in extracorporeal life support along with the associated cannula position, orientation and design, affects the mixing and the mechanical shear stress appearing in the flow field. This in turn influences platelet activation state and blood cell destruction. In this study, a co-flowing confined jet…[Read more]

These results indicated the potential physiological convergence and enhanced our understanding of the overlapping genetic makeup underlying litter size in goats and sheep.Obesity increases morbidity and resource utilization in sepsis patients. The immune response in sepsis transitions from an endotoxin-responsive hyper- to an endotoxin-tolerant…[Read more]

Bilateral acoustic hearing in cochlear implant (CI) recipients with hearing preservation may allow access to binaural cues. Sensitivity to acoustic binaural cues has been shown in some listeners combining electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS), yet remains poorly understood and may be subject to limitations imposed by the electrical stimulation…[Read more]
