Computational fluid dynamic modeling of arteriovenous fistula can be used to understand the physiologic basis of clinical observations of function. Evaluation of the effect of inflow artery length and diameter helps explain the higher flows seen in arteriovenous fistula created using large caliber arteries for inflow. Computational fluid dynamic…[Read more]

The main motivation for online gaming in the non-disordered gaming group was recreation (13.3, sd = 2.7) but only the fourth main motivation in the disordered gaming group behind competition (16.3, sd = 3.7), escape (16.2, sd = 4.3), and coping (15.1, sd = 3.7). JNJ-A07 concentration Increased hours of gameplay on weekdays and weekends were noted…[Read more]

Five out of seven human studies reported elevated levels of MMP-9 in patients with anastomotic leakage on different postoperative moments. The animal studies demonstrated that MMP-9 activity was highest in the direct vicinity of an anastomosis. Moreover, MMP-9 activity was significantly reduced in areas further proximally and distally from the…[Read more]

The atmosphere is a significant global reservoir for mercury (Hg) and its isotopic characterization is important to understand sources, distribution, and deposition of Hg to the Earth’s surface. To better understand Hg isotope variability in the remote background atmosphere, we collected continuous 12-h Hg0 samples for 1 week from two high…[Read more]

01). High miR-448 expression was significantly associated with advanced T stage (P = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.007) and higher TNM stage (P = 0.009). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier and univariate analyses revealed that patients with high expression of miR-448 experienced significantly shorter OS and DFS. Furthermore, multivariate analysis de…[Read more]

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a common global issue in pediatrics. Most of the ingested FBs pass through the gastrointestinal tract, but up to 20% of cases require endoscopic removal. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed all pediatric cases of FB ingestion requiring endoscopic removal over a 10-year period in a tertiary hospital to compare…[Read more]

Human sensorimotor control of dexterous manipulation relies on afferent sensory signals. Explicit tactile feedback is generally not available to prosthetic hand users, who have to rely on incidental information sources to partly close the control loop, resulting in suboptimal performance and manipulation difficulty. Recent studies on…[Read more]
