Patients answering the sham risk question incorrectly tended to recall fewer risks across all interviews.

This study shows that patient risk recall is poor, as previous literature outlines, reinforcing that consent process improvements could be made. It also illustrates the value of PAC visits in patient education, as shown by higher…[Read more]

Experiments are conducted on three datasets, including two SR tasks of Voxceleb and CN-celeb, and one LR task, NIST LRE 07. For SR, D-MONA improves on ResNet-34 results by at least 29% and 15% for Voxceleb1 and CN-celeb respectively. For the LR task, a large improvement is achieved over ResNet-34 of 21% for the challenging 3s utterance condition,…[Read more]

Automated detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in continuous rhythm registrations is essential in order to prevent complications and optimize treatment of AF. Many algorithms have been developed to detect AF in surface electrocardiograms (ECGs) during the past few years. The aim of this systematic review is to gain more insight into these…[Read more]

Aspergillus fumigatus is a pathogenic fungus infecting the respiratory system and responsible for a variety of life-threatening lung diseases. A fucose-binding lectin named FleA which has a controversial role in A. fumigatus pathogenesis was recently identified. New chemical probes with high affinity and enzymatic stability are needed to explore…[Read more]

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence has provided a new insight into the taxonomic classification, and a more complex picture of the species diversity within the family of Loricariidae.Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer diagnosis; however, limited instrument dexterity and no sensor feedback can hamper procedure safety and…[Read more]

This review aimed to summarize the evidence on the risk of thromboembolism associated with carotid and aortic atherosclerosis in patients with AF, and the potential impact of their inclusion in current stroke risk stratification scores.

MEDLINE, Web of Science and EMBASE were systematically searched to identify all published studies…[Read more]

patients is safe and effective with long-term patency and survival.

The individualized interventional treatment based on thrombus type and size for primary BCS complicated by IVC thrombosis patients is safe and effective with long-term patency and survival.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using Hemocoagulase Bothrops…[Read more]

The obtained results indicated significant factors affecting somaclonal variability and the appearance of changes in the genome, and demonstrated a lack of dependence between phenotype and the number of genomic polymorphisms. Leptin has been proved to play critical roles in energy metabolism, body weight regulation, food intake, reproduction and…[Read more]

Of 138 NHL studied patients (median 61 y, 15-87 y, 60.4% men), 31 of them died due to the disease. The median follow-up was 39 months (1-115 months). The strongest prognostic factors were B symptoms (p < 0.01), anemia (p < 0.01), hypoalbuminemia (p 0.01), sarcopenia (p < 0.01), adipopenia (p < 0.01), number of node groups involved (p < 0.01), MTV…[Read more]
