To evaluate the long-term oncological and functional results of the ablative treatment of T1a kidney malignancies by percutaneous radiofrequency (RF).

Monocentric retrospective study including all patients treated for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) T1a by radiofrequency, in our center, from 2005 to 2009. All…[Read more]

In our study, we find that the predictive power of MD is superior to a purely data-driven machine learning model involving biochemical features that we implemented, even though MD utilized far fewer features (in fact, just one) in an unsupervised setting. Moreover, the MD results provide key insights into convergent mechanisms of activation,…[Read more]

Environmental models aim to reproduce landscape processes with mathematical equations. Observations are used for validation. The performance and uncertainties are quantified either by single or multi-criteria model assessment. In a case-study, we combine both approaches. We use a coupled hydro-biogeochemistry landscape-scale model to simulate 14…[Read more]

One of the main problems of colorectal cancer is not the treatment of the primary tumor but the metastatic stage. Means of metastatic spread is the invasion of the peritoneal cavity which leads to peritoneal metastasis (PM). PM cannot be easily cured, and the current treatments is rather heavy, combining cytoreductive surgery with intravenous and…[Read more]

tress and potential threat to the kidney. Our findings point toward an interrelationship between mitochondrial function of PLTs, individual fitness levels and extreme physical and metal stresses, which stimulates further research.A growth experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary fish oil (FO) replaced by linseed oil (LO) on the…[Read more]

Multiple regression analysis showed that MCS modalities and associated odds ratios for early post-HT stroke and associated 95% confidence intervals were as follows LVAD (1.44, 0.70-2.94), RVAD (2.89, 1.03-8.05, BiVAD (3.24, 1.15-9.10), ECMO (2.27 (1.17-4.40), and any MCS (1.60 (1.20-2.12).

With the exception of left ventricular assist…[Read more]

Results suggest that both a disruption at the level of action semantics and a subtle executive dysfunction contribute to lexical access difficulties in people with PD, even in the absence of overt cognitive impairment.
