847 , and good calibration. Application of the nomogram in the external validation cohort still obtained good discrimination (C-index, 0.811 ) and acceptable calibration.

This study developed and validated a nomogram, which may be conveniently applied for the individualized prediction of TLI.

This study developed and validated a…[Read more]

Objective To characterize earlier damage pattern of white matter (WM) microstructure in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and its relationship with cognitive domain dysfunction. Methods A total of 144 CSVD patients and 100 healthy controls who underwent neuropsychological measurements and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) examination were…[Read more]

The coalescence-induced droplet jumping on superhydrophobic surfaces is fundamentally significant from an academic or practical viewpoint. However, approaches to enhance droplet jumping velocity are very limited. In this work, the effect of structural parameters of the triangular prism on droplet jumping is studied systematically. The results…[Read more]

Lipopolysaccharide shows a dose-dependent effect on cochlear microcirculation; this effect can already be observed after 30min. Pretreatment with etanercept can abrogate this effect, indicating that TNF mediates the effect of LPS on cochlear microcirculation.

The incidence of chylothorax is reported from 1-9% in pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgery. Effective evidenced-based practice is limited for the management of post-operative chylothorax in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. The study characterizes the population of pediatric patients with cardiac surgery and chylothorax…[Read more]
