∼t^1/(2β-1). This transition is shown to be independent of the precise model details and is thus argued to be universal.

Recently, it was shown that certain systems with large time-varying delay exhibit different types of chaos, which are related to two types of time-varying delay conservative and dissipative delays. The known high-dimensional turbulent chaos is characterized by strong fluctuations. In contrast, the recently discovered low-dimensional laminar chaos…[Read more]

Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.This study was designed to identify novel circular RNAs and the related regulatory axis to provide research targets for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The circular RNA expression microarray “GSE101123” related to breast cancer was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The…[Read more]

We compared the simulations with recordings from healthy volunteers. Main results We found that the auditory-nerve fibers, the cochlear nuclei and the inferior colliculus all contributed to the speech-evoked brainstem response, although the dominant contribution came from the inferior colliculus. The delay of the response corresponded to that…[Read more]

Purpose The purpose of the study is to present the first results of freehand interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) used to treat patients with carcinoma of the cervix and the vagina. Methods and materials Patients diagnosed with carcinoma of the cervix or carcinoma of the vagina who were not suitable for intracavitary brachytherapy were treated with…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is associated with high risks of morbidity and mortality. Hyperbilirubinemia might have some renal protection but with no clear cutoff value for protection. Related studies are typically on limited numbers of patients and only in conditions of vascular intervention. METHODS We performed…[Read more]

[This corrects the article DOI 10.1371/journal.pone.0231426.].The physiological actions of orally ingested peptides on the brain remain poorly understood. This study examined the effects of 39 orally administered synthetic Tyr-containing dipeptides on the enhancement of brain norepinephrine metabolism in mice by comparing the concentration of…[Read more]

An 88-year-old woman presented with acute airway obstruction caused by a large retrothyroid bleed following anterior neck trauma. Her airway was secured in the operating theatre with an awake nasal flexible optical bronchoscope tracheal intubation using an Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway tracheal tube. Haemostasis was achieved following surgical…[Read more]

ConspectusSurface chemistry is a key area of study in the chemical sciences, and many system properties are dominated by the chemistry at the interface between two bulk media. While the interface may have a large influence on the system behavior, there are relatively few molecules at the interface compared to the bulk; thus, probing their unique…[Read more]

T-patterns were discussed depending on their putative functional meaning since non-verbal behaviors almost did not overlap within patterns. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of an Ethogram including non-verbal and verbal components highlights the multimodal human communication in TSST. T-Pattern Analysis unveils the real-time interplay among these…[Read more]

sarean delivery, is an independent risk factor for maternal in-hospital mortality. Measures taken to reduce the cesarean section rate may impact the rising maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the United States.Cystic trophoblastic tumor (CTT) is an uncommon trophoblastic proliferation of germ cell tumor origin, mostly reported in post-chemotherapy…[Read more]
