A fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) technique characterizes surfactant-dependent partitioning of organics in a system that mimics a Negishi-like cross-coupling reaction in water, under s...
Differentiation of uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) from non-obstructive dilatation (NOD) is a major challenge. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine whether pyeloplasty predic...
Among patients with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis, those who were stable during post-natal follow-up were considered NOD. The UPJO group were the ones who worsened and underwent pyeloplasty bas...
Among 137 patients included (R:L = 59:73; M:F 102:35), 96 were conservatively managed (NOD), while 41 patients (29%) needed pyeloplasty (UPJO). Mean PPS was 4.2 (1.2) in the NOD group and it was signi...
A PPS cutoff value of 8 or above is associated with the presence of significant UPJO. PPS is also useful in the assessment of hydronephrosis recovery post-pyeloplasty. The limitation of PPS: it can on...
The droplet-based nanogenerator (DNG) is a highly promising technology for harvesting high-entropy water energy in the era of the Internet of Things. Yet, despite the exciting progress made in recent ...
The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of dose reduction in patients with SLE treated with belimumab (BEL) in Spain, analyze treatment modalities, and determine impact on control of...
Retrospective longitudinal and multicentre study of SLE patients treated with BEL. Data on disease activity, treatments and outcomes were recorded before and after reduction (6-12 months), and they we...
A total of 324 patients were included. The dose was reduced in 29 patients (8.9%). The dosing interval was increased in 9 patients receiving subcutaneous BEL and in 6 patients receiving intravenous BE...
Doses of BEL can be reduced with no relevant changes in disease activity-at least in the short term-in a significant percentage of patients, and most maintain the reduced dose. However, increased clin...
In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are post...
Upadacitinib has been found to improve symptoms as early as day 1 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. As a result, early and timely initiation of upadacitinib is paramount to prevent hospital...
This was a single-center, retrospective study at the University of Chicago Medicine (UCM) Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and included patients initiated on upadacitinib between March 1, 2022, and A...
A total of 107 patients were initiated on upadacitinib during the study period (n = 18 through the UCM HSSP, n = 89 through an ESP). The median number of days to patient initiation was 3 days (interqu...
This study validates the ability of HSSPs to initiate therapies earlier than ESPs with a particular focus on upadacitinib....
A hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network is a simple and flexible solution that can be used to improve the performance of land mobile satellite systems, where the communication links between satel...
This article presents a robust finite control set predictive scheme for a stand-alone squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) drive. This technique is considered an alternative to the drive system du...
Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) is a rare condition and severe cases can lead to acute adrenal insufficiency with potentially life-threatening consequences. AH can be caused by a variety of etiologic factors,...
The aims of this study were to analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus patients with AH....
The clinical characteristics of 6 systemic lupus erythematosus patients complicated with AH admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing Shijitan Hospital from May 2004 to April 2022 ...
The diagnosis of AH was based on computed tomography (CT) findings. Two patients had bilateral lesions, and the other 4 patients had unilateral lesions. The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency were obse...
In the proper clinical setting, having high clinical suspicion for AH, early diagnosis and timely management is crucial to avoid life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Key Points • AH is a rare condi...
The emergence of quasiparticles in quantum many-body systems underlies the rich phenomenology in many strongly interacting materials. In the context of doped Mott insulators, magnetic polarons are qua...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is an increasingly popular technique for the management of extracranial carotid stenosis. Its off-label use in the treatment of intracranial neurovascular ...
We conducted a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of consecutive patients who underwent treatment of neurovascular disease at a single academic center using the ENROUTE Transc...
Twenty patients were included in the study between September 2017 and March 2023. The following pathologies were treated: intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD, nine patients), complex cervico-pe...
An open transcarotid approach using a dedicated transcarotid system may offer a safe alternative access strategy for the endovascular treatment of complex neurovascular pathologies when a traditional ...
