Incidence and mortality of hospital- and ICU-treated sepsis : results from an updated and expanded systematic review and meta-analysis
Purpose: To investigate the global burden of sepsis in hospitalized adults by updating and expanding a systematic review and meta-analysis and to compare findings with recent Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) sepsis estimates. Methods: Thirteen electronic databases were searched for studies on population-level sepsis incidence defined according to clinical criteria (Sepsis-1, -2:

Thromboembolic and bleeding risk in obese patients with atrial fibrillation according to different anticoagulation strategies
Background: Data on the relationship between body mass index (BMI), thromboembolic events (TEE) and bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are controversial, and further evidence on the risk of such events in obese patients with AF receiving different anticoagulant therapies (OAC) is needed. Methods and results: We divided a total of 9330 participants from the prospective PREFER in AF

HEARTBiT : A Transcriptomic Signature for Excluding Acute Cellular Rejection in Adult Heart Allograft Patients
Background: Nine mRNA transcripts associated with acute cellular rejection (ACR) in previous microarray studies were ported to the clinically amenable NanoString nCounter platform. Here we report the diagnostic performance of the resulting blood test to exclude ACR in heart allograft recipients: HEARTBiT. Methods: Blood samples for transcriptomic profiling were collected during routine post-transp
Light to useful charge in nanostructured organic and hybrid solar cells
Etiology and pathogenesis of parkinson’s disease
The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is still far from fully known. In the new millennium, an increased knowledge of the genetic forms of PD has contributed to an improved understanding of underlying cellular mechanisms that are central also in sporadic PD. Although steadily improving, the challenge to fully understand the origin, function, and consequences of Lewy bodies still remains. Toxico
Integration of machine learning with phase field method to model the electromigration induced Cu6Sn5 IMC growth at anode side Cu/Sn interface
Currently, in the era of big data and 5G communication technology, electromigration has become a serious reliability issue for the miniaturized solder joints used in microelectronic devices. Since the effective charge number (Z*) is considered as the driving force for electromigration, the lack of accurate experimental values for Z* poses severe challenges for the simulation-aided design of electr
The compositional homogeneity of the metal particle during vapor–liquid–solid growth of nanowires
The vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism is probably the most versatile method to fabricate semiconductor nanowires and several investigations assume a compositionally homogeneous catalyst particle. In this investigation we address the compositional homogeneity of the catalyst particle during growth of nanowires. Using diffusion calculations, we show that the particle is indeed homogeneous during VL
Multiplex profiling of serum proteins in solution using barcoded antibody fragments and next generation sequencing
The composition of serum proteins is reflecting the current health status and can, with the right tools, be used to detect early signs of disease, such as an emerging cancer. An earlier diagnosis of cancer would greatly increase the chance of an improved outcome for the patients. However, there is still an unmet need for proficient tools to decipher the information in the blood proteome, which cal
Immunosuppressive properties of cytochalasin B-induced membrane vesicles of mesenchymal stem cells : comparing with extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells
Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a novel approach for regenerative and immunosuppressive therapy. Recently, cytochalasin B-induced microvesicles (CIMVs) were shown to be effective drug delivery mediators. However, little is known about their immunological properties. We propose that the immunophenotype and molecular composition of these vesicles could con
Diamond Blackfan anemia is mediated by hyperactive Nemo-like kinase
Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome associated with ribosomal gene mutations that lead to ribosomal insufficiency. DBA is characterized by anemia, congenital anomalies, and cancer predisposition. Treatment for DBA is associated with significant morbidity. Here, we report the identification of Nemo-like kinase (NLK) as a potential target for DBA therapy. To id
Nanoplatelet interactions in the presence of multivalent ions : The effect of overcharging and stability
Hypothesis: The stability of colloidal dispersions in the presence of multivalent ions depends strongly on the electrostatic interactions between the suspended particles. Of particular interest are colloidal particles having dimensions in the nanometric range and with an anisotropic shape due to its high surface area per unit mass, for example clay, which has the key characteristic of a negatively
Flame investigations of a laboratory-scale CECOST swirl burner at atmospheric pressure conditions
Experimental and numerical studies were performed to understand the stabilization of lean premixed natural gas/air flames in a gas turbine model combustor which was equipped with a swirl burner, known as the CECOST burner, designed to replicate the flow and flame structures in an industrial gas turbine engine. The operability range, flame stabilization, and flashback were investigated employing si
POLALMM : A program to compute polarizabilities for nominal one-electron systems using the Lagrange-mesh method
We present a program to compute polarizabilities of nominal one-electron systems using the Lagrange-mesh method (LMM) (Baye, 2015), that was used by Filippin et al., (2018). A semiempirical-core-potential approach is implemented, ultimately solving a Dirac-like equation by diagonalizing the corresponding Hamiltonian matrix. In order to build the core potential, the core orbitals are obtained from
Poloxamer/sodium cholate co-formulation for micellar encapsulation of doxorubicin with high efficiency for intracellular delivery : An in-vitro bioavailability study
Hypothesis: Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DX) is widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent, though its severe side-effects limit its clinical use. A way to overcome these limitations is to increase DX latency through encapsulation in suitable carriers. However, DX has a high solubility in water, hindering encapsulation. The formulation of DX with sodium cholate (NaC) will reduce aqueous solubility thro
Oxygen intercalated graphene on SiC(0001) : Multiphase SiOx layer formation and its influence on graphene electronic properties
Low-dimensionality materials are highly susceptible to interfaces. Indeed, intercalation of different chemical species in between epitaxial graphene and silicon carbide (SiC), for instance, may decouple the graphene with respect to the substrate due to the conversion of the buffer layer into a graphene layer. O-intercalation is known to release the strain of such 2D material and to lead to the for
