Unusually large cancer cells with abnormal nuclei have been documented in the cancer literature since 1858. For more than 100 years, they have been generally disregarded as irreversibly senescent or dying cells, too morphologically misshapen and chromatin too disorganized to be functional. Cell enlargement, accompanied by whole genome doubling or more, is observed across organisms, often associate
Background and Objectives: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteases with different biological and pathological activities, and many have been linked to several diseases. Targeting individual MMPs may offer a safer therapeutic potential for several diseases. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of FP-025, a novel, highly selective oral matrix metalloproteinase-12 inhibit
We briefly overview the historical controversy around Standard Model predictions of ϵ ′/ϵ and clarify the underlying physics. A full update of this important observable is presented, with all known short-and long-distance contributions, including isospin-breaking corrections. The current Standard Model prediction, Re(ϵ ′/ϵ) = (14 ± 5) • 10-4 [1, 2], is in excellent agreement with the experimentall
Despite the growing importance of real-world evidence (RWE) for guiding clinical decisions in retinal disease, there is currently no widely used guidance available for assessing the quality and relevance of RWE studies in ophthalmology. This paper summarizes the development of a user-friendly tool that facilitates assessment of the quality of available RWE for neovascular age-related macular degen
The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. Methyl-2,2-dimethyl-6-methylene-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that methyl-2,2-dimethyl-6-methylene-1-cyclohex
Typical massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures consider a centralized approach, in which all baseband data received by each antenna has to be sent to a central processing unit (CPU) to be processed. Due to the enormous amount of antennas expected in massive MIMO base stations (BSs), the number of connections to the CPU required in centralized massive MIMO is not scalable. In r
Summary: The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. 3-Octanol was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog 3-hexanol (CAS # 623-37-0) show that 3-octanol is not expected to
While restoration of coronary blood flow to the ischemic heart is the most effective strategy for reducing infarct size, reperfusion injury represents a significant limiting factor on clinical outcomes in myocardial infarction patients. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been shown to inhibit reperfusion injury and represents an attractive model for studying cardioprotective signal transduction pa
Objective In this study we aimed to estimate the effect of diabetes, educational level and income on the risk of mortality and cardiovascular events in primary care patients with hypertension. Methods We followed 62,557 individuals with hypertension diagnosed 2001-2008, in the Swedish Primary Care Cardiovascular Database. Study outcomes were death, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke, asses
Background: The cultural and language diversity across many European countries presents a range of challenges and opportunities for speech and language therapists and other practitioners working with children with developmental language disorders (DLD) and their families. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore practitioners' perceptions of cultural and linguistic differences in response t
The rationale was to longitudinally follow-up interviews performed with heart recipients at their one-year examination in order to deepen the understanding of the meaning of surviving a heart transplant. The aim was to explore the meaning of surviving three years after a heart transplant compared to one year and to identify what constitutes the change process. A phenomenological–hermeneutic method
Objectives: The objective of the study was to estimate associations between health locus of control (HLC) and mortality. Study design & methods: The public health survey in Scania 2008 was linked to the Swedish cause of death register. In this study of 10,757 men and 12,322 women aged 18–80 years, 421 men and 235 women died during the 5.3-year follow-up. Survival analyses were conducted. Resul
The Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) concept has emerged recently as a new paradigm for wireless communication, remote sensing and positioning. It consists of a continuous radiating surface placed relatively close to the users, which is able to communicate with users by independent transmission and reception (as a Base Station). Despite of its potential, there are a lot of challenges from an implem
This article reports measurements characterizing the Underlying Event (UE) associated with hard scatterings at midrapidity (|η| < 0.8) in pp collisions at s = 13 TeV. The hard scatterings are identified by the leading particle, the charged particle with the highest transverse momentum (pTleading) in the event. Charged-particle number-densities and summed transverse-momentum densities are measured
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Overview). The objectives are as follows:. The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits and harms of different interventions used in the management of TTN of the newborn.
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra excited at the oxygen K edge of CO2 are presented and discussed. Although excitation from a gerade initial state to the intermediate 1s-1π∗ state breaks the inversion symmetry due to strong vibronic coupling, RIXS excited at the corresponding resonance exclusively populates gerade vibrations in the gerade electronic ground state. This observation
The study explored experiences of stress in children aged 10–12. An inductive qualitative design was used. Ten focus group interviews were conducted with Swedish schoolchildren (n = 42) aged 10–12. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The study identified one theme—“Body and mind react”—and three subthemes: (1) Friendships matte
