72 (95% CI 0.67-0.79), larger centres, HR 0.89 (95% CI 0.79-1.00) and higher with coiled catheters, HR 1.26 (95% CI 1.16-1.37). Early nephrology referral, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and Asian ethnicities were associated with better technique survival. Infections were the major cause of technique failure (58.4%) with…[Read more]

The photoresponsive properties of the resulted capsules were tested by photoinduced degradation of the low-molecule dye rhodamine B in aqueous solution and fluorescently labeled polymer molecules absorbed on the capsule surface under UV light. The exposure of the capsules to UV light resulted in a pronounced degradation of rhodamine B in capsule…[Read more]

(151/150).Brain metastases are refractory to therapies that control systemic disease in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2+) breast cancer, and the brain microenvironment contributes to this therapy resistance. Nutrient availability can vary across tissues, therefore metabolic adaptations required for brain metastatic…[Read more]

The Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) has not been widely studied for use in predicting outcomes of COVID-19 patients encountered in the prehospital setting. This study aimed to determine whether the first prehospital REMS could predict emergency department and hospital dispositions for COVID-19 patients transported by emergency medical…[Read more]
