Strabismus surgery is frequently carried out in university centers. The aim of this work was to calculate the costs of strabismus surgery at auniversity hospital and to assess the remuneration of costs for outpatient procedures.

Of all strabismus surgeries at the Hanover Medical School in the years 2018 and 2019, relevant surgical data,…[Read more]

ilies on their infants’ expected hospital course.

· Hospital outcomes were similar between infants exposed to opioids alone or polysubstance including opioids.. · Infants with short- and long-acting opioids required pharmacologic treatment more often than either opioid alone.. · Differential hospital outcomes exist for various co…[Read more]

In infants of GA 28 to < 32 weeks, urinary interleukin-8/Cr levels were higher in AKI group at approximately the time of AKI onset.

Several urine biomarkers were significantly different between AKI and no AKI groups, and some had changed before the onset of AKI. These groups were distinct according to causative factors of AKI and GA. Urine…[Read more]

Retrospective cohort.

To determine how the number of fused intervertebral levels affects radiographic parameters and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing open posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) for low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis.

This was a retrospective cohort study on patients who underwent open PLF for low-grade…[Read more]

This is first study to show that hypertriglyceridemia induces BDNF expression in the rat submandibular gland and suggests that salivary BDNF is associated with lipid metabolism.

A 4-year-old female child developed cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis 6 months following a diagnosis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Imaging revealed no evidence of systemic disease. Seven months later, the first systemic lesion was discovered on laryngoscopy. Restaging Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography at that time…[Read more]

The general form for τ(T,V) also illuminates why samples in different states (film vs bulk, high P vs low) trend toward the same relaxation behavior at high T.Achieving a low mean transverse energy or temperature of electrons emitted from the photocathode-based electron sources is critical to the development of next-generation and compact x-ray…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Two loci (CHD7 and SOX10) underlying Kallmann syndrome (KS) were discovered through clinical and genetic analysis of CHARGE and Waardenburg syndromes, conditions that include congenital anosmia caused by olfactory bulb defects (CA/OBs) and congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH). We hypothesized that other candidate genes for KS…[Read more]

Dissociative enzymes such as cellulases are greatly desired for a variety of applications in the food, fuel, and fiber industries. Cellulases and other cell wall-degrading enzymes are currently being engineered with improved traits for application in the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass. Biochemical assays using these “designer” enzymes have…[Read more]
