Benign intracranial SFTs have the potential of de-differentiation, which may play an important role in its distant metastasis. The underlying molecular biological and pathological mechanisms of benign SFT malignance transformation still warrant further exploration.

This is the first case report of recurrent intracranial SFT de-differentiating…[Read more]

Due to the advantage of carbon in hybrid material, the rate handling was faster than that of the non-hybrid one. The hybrid materials displayed robust cycling stability and maintained ca. 70 % of their initial capacities after 500 cycles. In contrast, only ca. 26 % of the initial capacity was maintained after the first 40 cycles for non-hybrid mat…[Read more]

44-0.78; p  less then  0.001). Patients in Stage IIIB had a 62.9% survival if treatment was initiated before 45 days (95% CI, 0.53-0.72) and 57.4% survival if treatment started after 45 days (95% CI, 0.31-0.89; p  less then  0.001). Prognostic factors in which lower survival was recognized were Stage IIIA, Stage IIIB, treatment initiation after 45…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the risks of stroke in subjects with metabolically abnormal normal weight (MANW) in China. We recruited 102,037 participants from the Zhejiang Metabolic Syndrome Cohort and the Kailuan cohort. The mean years of follow-up were 9.9 years. General obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28, overw…[Read more]

The maternal, or recognizing gaze, as the opposite of Medusa’s gaze portrayed by Sartre, is well described in a compelling text by the Italian novelist Luigi Pirandello. At the same time, it plays an important role in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s The Phenomenology of the Spirit. Finally, the article returns to Salvador Dalì, showing how in his…[Read more]

019 and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Left ventricular filling pressure is elevated in over half of those with pulmonary hypertension and may represent a target to reduce right ventricular afterload and potentially improve outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019.

Pulmonary hypertension is common in hospitalized patients with…[Read more]

The aim of our study is to evaluate the influence of patient risk factors and the length of surgical time on the onset of BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) and suggest surgical and clinical strategies to prevent this rare complication.

Our retrospective study analyzes that, in 2 years, 281 patients, divided into three groups,…[Read more]

95 mg/L, respectively. These findings suggest that thiol/amino appended in the C-13 position of xanthatin may improve antifungal and ovicidal activities for the derivatives. It was also noticed that the exocyclic double bond of xanthatin is crucial for its larvicidal activity. This work also provides some important hints for further design,…[Read more]

nical practice and/or further research? Because of the wide range of UCA values at GA 160/7-240/7 weeks, more studies regarding UCA values in various gestational ages are required to fully understand the trend of UCA values along pregnancy and confirm whether or not the UCA would be a useful parameter for sPTB prediction and if so at what…[Read more]
