To describe the clinical spectrum of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV) in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), investigate its relation to lymphoma and identify the differences with hepatitis C virus (HCV) related CV.

From a multicentre study population of consecutive pSS patients, those who had been evaluated for cryoglobulins and fulfilled…[Read more]

Tungsten carbide (WC) is an alternative to the costly and resource-constrained Pt-based catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, a one-step facile and easily scalable approach is reported, to synthesize ultrafine WC by molten salt. Benefiting from the ideal synergistic catalytic effect between the highly active WC…[Read more]

PARTICIPANTS Data from 99 participants were assessed [meanage  = 20.77, standard deviation (SD) = 2.98; 64 (65%) females], with 81.8% meeting the threshold for harmful alcohol consumption (meanAUDIT  = 12.89, SD = 5.79). MEASUREMENTS Self-reports of alcohol consumption and related problems [Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)],…[Read more]

The optimal cutoff values for SWE and SWD were 8 kPa and 10.9 (m/sec)/kHz, respectively. In the univariate analysis, SWE, GB distension, and sludge were predictive factors of acute cholecystitis. In the multivariate analysis, categorized SWE was the only significant predictor (P<0.01). By using 2D-SWI, the diagnostic performance of two readers did…[Read more]

We show the effectiveness of SNMA by validating it using both synthetic datasets and five real-world datasets. The experimental results are appealing, which demonstrate that SNMA readily outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

The application of bubble-based ablation with the focus ultrasound therapy histotripsy is gaining traction for the…[Read more]

Baby boomers, people born from 1946 through 1964, represent a substantial portion of the US population. Generally, baby boomers have more chronic disease and disability than those in the previous generation. Frequently, they also provide informal care to others. The objective of our study was to…[Read more]

Eosinophils are proven to play a role in the prognosis of some malignant-tumors. The prognostic value of eosinophils in glioma patients is, however, scarcely reported. The authors of this article have designed a novel prognostic indicator based on eosinophils and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), named ENS, to predict the survival of…[Read more]

Orbital osteomyelitis in the pediatric patient is a rare clinical entity with limited reports in the literature. Outcomes for orbital osteomyelitis can be potentially fatal, and effective diagnosis and treatment often requires an extensive differential and multidisciplinary team approach. As such, the authors systematically evaluated a pooled…[Read more]
