To investigate the changing trends in short- and long-term outcomes after partial hepatectomy(PH) for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) performed in the 21st century.

A retrospective review was conducted on 1300 consecutive patients who underwent PH for HCC. The study cohort was divided into 3 time periods(P) P1(2000-2005), P2(2006-2011) and…[Read more]

In conclusion, our findings reveal the bacteria composition and structure of the gut and beebread of stingless bees in China and deepen our understanding of the dominant bacteria of the gut and beebread of stingless bees.A multilayered computational workflow was designed to identify a druggable binding site on the surface of the E200K pathogenic…[Read more]

Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Though the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and quality improvement initiatives recommend the use of a quantitative measurement of blood loss, it is not known if the quantitative measurement compared to visual estimation of blood loss improves maternal…[Read more]

SS18-SSX staining was diffusely-strongly positive in all 10 pulmonary metastatic SS cases and the corresponding five primary sites; whereas, it was negative in all 93 clinical and histologic mimics (100% sensitivity and 100% specificity). Further, SS18-SSX staining was also sufficiently positive in the biopsy and cytology specimens.…[Read more]

We conclude that EGFR plays important roles in Matrigel-induced 3D structures of eccrine sweat gland-like structures, and ERK1/2 signaling is responsible, at least in part, for the effect of EGFR.PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to provide the information necessary for recognizing scleritis in rheumatology patients, recognize associated…[Read more]

Several scoring systems have been devised to objectively predict survival for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) and support treatment stratification, but they have failed external validation. The aim of the present study was to improve prognostication using an artificial intelligence-based approach. We retrospectively…[Read more]

Cochlear implants (CIs) recover hearing in severely to profoundly hearing-impaired people by electrically stimulating the cochlea. While they are extremely effective, spatial hearing is typically severely limited. Recent studies have shown that haptic stimulation can supplement the electrical CI signal (electro-haptic stimulation) and…[Read more]

These results show that scraper rotation can help to adjust the RTD and the axial mixing, leading to a more robust continuous granulation.Lipid overload-induced hepatic steatosis is a major public health problem worldwide. However, the potential molecular mechanism is not completely understood. Herein, we found that high-fat diet (HFD) or oleic…[Read more]

taff distribution across the various shifts should be of keen interest to nurse managers if hypertension care in particular and overall patient care in general are to improve.
