Direct targeting methods for stereotactic neurosurgery in the treatment of essential tremor have been the subject of active research over the past decade but have not yet been systematically reviewed. We present a clinically oriented topic review based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Group guidelines. Our…[Read more]

Background Blood oxygenation level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are useful methods for investigating the morphology and function of the kidneys, including revealing unilateral renal damage. Nevertheless, these techniques have not yet been applied for bilateral renal function. The aim of this…[Read more]

This paper examines the impact of the U.S. fracking boom on local STI transmission rates and prostitution activity as measured by online prostitution review counts. We first document significant and robust positive effects on gonorrhea rates in fracking counties at the national level. learn more But we find no evidence that fracking increases…[Read more]

5 g/kg/day). Continuous glucose monitoring, HbA1c, and dual X-ray absorptiometry were obtained before and after 3 months of each intervention. RESULTS Exercise snacks were easy to perform and well tolerated and were associated with a 2.2% loss of body fat mass when both groups were analyzed together (p = 0.015) after 3 months, whereas the change…[Read more]

An exponential feeding strategy was employed in a fed-batch process using MEC626/pZE12-cimA harboring the GltA[F383M] variant, which generated over 60 g/L citramalate with a yield of 0.53 g citramalate/g glucose in 132 hr. These results demonstrate protein engineering can be used as an effective tool to redirect carbon flux by reducing enzyme…[Read more]

Significant joint deformity is a limitation of BCR TKA, while age and high BMI are less relevant. BCR TKA experienced surgeons are less restrictive.Low-income cities that are subject to high population pressure and vulnerable to climate events often have a low capacity to continuously deliver safe drinking water. Here we reported the results of a…[Read more]

The technical success rate was 100%. The average procedural time was 53.8±12.8 min. Complications included one case of the access-site pseudoaneurysm, which was successfully treated by thrombin injection. During a median follow-up of 20.5 months (range 6-33 months), all stents remained patent, without endoleak or ulcer recurrence. Conclusions…[Read more]

The average number of B or BA’ arms (n) is easily controlled by the molar equivalents of macromonomer relative to Grubbs catalyst in the initial ring-opening metathesis polymerization step. While these materials are characterized by dispersity in n that arises from polymerization statistics, they self-assemble into mesophases that are identical to…[Read more]

The aim of this work is the evaluation of a Sulfonated Poly Ether-Ether Ketone (S-PEEK) polymer modified by the addition of pure Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15, mesoporous silica) and SBA-15 previously impregnated with phosphotungstic acid (PWA) fillers (PWA/SBA-15) in order to prepare composite membranes as an alternative to conventional…[Read more]
