CONCLUSIONS: Consequences on socioeconomic, asthma control, quality of life, and psychological status are worse for WRA individuals when compared with NWRA.

Investigation of Renal Decline and New Onset Dialysis Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in the Vascular Quality Initiative by Matthew DeJong
CONCLUSIONS: New onset dialysis following EVAR is a rare event. Perioperative variables influencing renal function following EVAR include blood loss, arterial injury, and reoperation. Supra-renal fixation is not associated with postoperative acute renal insufficiency or new onset dialysis in long term follow up. Renal protective measures are recommended for patients with baseline renal insufficiency undergoing…
Beta 3-Adrenoceptor Agonism Ameliorates Early Life Stress-Induced Visceral Hypersensitivity in Male Rats by James M Collins
Visceral hypersensitivity, a hallmark of disorders of the gut-brain axis, is associated with exposure to early life stress (ELS). Activation of neuronal β3-adrenoceptors (AR) has been shown to alter central and peripheral levels of tryptophan and reduce visceral hypersensitivity. In this study, we aimed to determine the potential of a β3-AR agonist in reducing ELS-induced…
OsNF-YA3 regulates plant growth and osmotic stress tolerance by interacting with SLR1 and SAPK9 in rice by Xinkai Jin
The antagonism between gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathways is vital to balance plant growth and stress response. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which plants determine the balance remains to be elucidated. Here, we report that rice NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y A3 (OsNF-YA3) modulates GA- and ABA-mediated balance between plant growth and osmotic stress tolerance. OsNF-YA3…
Investigating the development of the autonomic nervous system in infancy through pupillometry by Lyssa M de Vries
We aim to investigate early developmental trajectories of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) as indexed by the pupillary light reflex (PLR) in infants with (i.e. preterm birth, feeding difficulties, or siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder) and without (controls) increased likelihood for atypical ANS development. We used eye-tracking to capture the PLR in 216…
Direct Quantification of Attogram Levels of Strontium-90 in Microscale Biosamples Using Isotope Dilution-Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry Assisted by Quadrupole Energy Filtering by Jo Aoki
Although thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) has been employed for the high-precision analysis of isotope ratios, direct quantification of artificial mono-nuclide in the environment is difficult by even using isotope dilution (ID) due to the coexistence of the great magnitude of natural stable nuclides or isobars. In traditional TIMS and ID-TIMS, a sufficient amount of…
Statistical Analysis of Random Motion and Energetic Behavior of Counting: Gibbs’ Theory Revisited by Erin Angelini
Following a recently reformulated Gibbs’ statistical chemical thermodynamic theory on discrete state space, we present a treatment on statistical measurements of random mechanical motions in continuous space. In particular, we show how the concept of temperature and an ideal gas/solution law arise from a statistical analysis of a collection of independent and identically distributed complex…
Changes in motor unit activity in the biceps brachii muscle under different intensities of isometric loading by Ádám Hegedüs
CONCLUSION: Our test protocol is not suitable for prolonged activation of high-frequency motor units because the activity of high-frequency motor units decreases over time. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(10): 376-382.
Effect and Mechanism of lncRNA-PCMF1/hsa-miR-137/Twist1 Axis Involved in the EMT Regulation of Prostate Cancer Cells by Haoyu Cui
The metastasis is a major reason for the poor prognosis of the patients with prostate cancer (PC). Currently, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the basic method for the treatment of PC regardless of surgery or drug treatments. However, ADT therapy is generally not recommended for patients with advanced/metastatic PC. Herein, we report for the first…
Comparison of sequential and joint nonlinear mixed effects modeling of tumor kinetics and survival following Durvalumab treatment in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma by Ting Chen
Standard endpoints such as objective response rate are usually poorly correlated with overall survival (OS) for treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Longitudinal tumor size may serve as a more useful predictor of OS, and establishing a quantitative relationship between tumor kinetics (TK) and OS is a crucial step for successfully predicting OS based on limited…
The incidence of malignancy in the residual rectum of IBD patients after colectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis by I Georganta
CONCLUSIONS: The overall risk of malignancy was estimated to be 1.3%, which is lower than previously reported. There is a need for clear and standardised screening guidance for this group of patients.
Combining physics-based models with deep learning image synthesis and uncertainty in intraoperative cone-beam CT of the brain by Xiaoxuan Zhang
CONCLUSIONS: DL-Recon leveraged uncertainty estimation to combine the strengths of deep learning and physics-based reconstruction and demonstrated substantial improvements in the accuracy and quality of intraoperative CBCT. The improved soft-tissue contrast resolution could facilitate visualization of brain structures and support deformable registration with preoperative images, further extending the utility of intraoperative CBCT in image-guided neurosurgery.…
