7 months). Compared with the non-NEC group, VPIs with NEC and stoma demonstrated poor growth, especially in head circumference (HC) with no increase in growth velocity before the time of stoma closure between 2.5- and 3-month CAs.

 Our findings demonstrate poor growth in VPIs after NEC surgery and improved HC growth after stoma c…[Read more]

The purpose of the conducted experiments was to test the selected properties of materials intended for porous sintered bearings containing layered materials in the form of powders with an average particle size of 0.5-1.5 μm, with very good tribological properties. The subject of the research was a sinter based on iron powder with the addition of…[Read more]

Although intramuscular (i.m.) administration is the most commonly used route for licensed vaccines, subcutaneous (s.c.) delivery is being explored for several new vaccines under development. Here, we use rhesus macaques, physiologically relevant to humans, to identify the anatomical compartments and early immune processes engaged in the response…[Read more]

Knowledge of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna phase center variations plays a key role in precise positioning. Proper modeling is achieved by accessing antenna phase center corrections, which are determined in the calibration process. For most receiver antenna types, the International GNSS Service provides such corrections for two…[Read more]

Older people often report a decline in their cognitive functions – memory problems and difficulty finding words are frequently mentioned. In this context it is essential to differentiate between age-related cognitive decline and pathological processes as they occur in the context of dementia. Neuropsychological diagnostics make an important…[Read more]

The authors provide an overview of current methods for diagnosing IPV and define the role of the radiologist in cases of IPV. They also describe a successful diagnostic imaging-based approach for helping to identify IPV, with a specific focus on the associated imaging findings and mechanisms of injuries. In addition, current needs and future…[Read more]

Both carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and arterial plaques have been shown to predict future CV events. Since there are no previous studies on the subject, our objective was to compare carotid IMT and the length of plaques in abdominal-pelvic main arteries in CV risk assessment in a prospective study setting with a follow-up of over 20…[Read more]
