The rationale of using angiotensin receptor blocker instead of pulmonary vasodilators to treat pulmonary hypertension in bronchopulmonary dysplasia : a case report and literature review

This case report highlights the challenges in treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in a premature infant with severe pulmonary hypertension, recurrent pulmonary hypertensive crises, and the need of 100% oxygen to achieve acceptable arterial oxygen saturations. Key factors in the infant's improvement involved switching from pulmonary vasodilation to systemic afterload reduction using losartan,

Protein Homeostasis Impairment Alters Phenotypic Heterogeneity of Biofilm Communities

Biofilms are highly organized, cooperating communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix, providing resilience against external stress such as antimicrobial agents and host defenses. A hallmark of biofilms is their phenotypic heterogeneity, which enhances the overall growth and survival of the community. In this study, we demonstrate that removing the dnaK and tig g

Biobased Hyperbranched Polyesters as Effective Non-Leachable UV Blockers for Sunscreens

There is a strong societal demand for the development of effective and eco-friendly UV blocking substances for sunscreen applications. In this work, three AB2-type monomers with 0-2 methoxy groups are synthesized using three corresponding lignin-based monomeric aromatics and a potentially biobased hydandoin. The obtained AB2-type monomers are conveniently polymerized via conventional bulk polycond

On the Application of Background Oriented Schlieren to a Transonic Low-Reynolds Turbine Cascade

Qualitative and quantitative visualizations of transonic turbomachinery flows provide essential information on compressibility and Mach number effects on boundary layer development, shock-boundary layer interactions, and trailing edge flows. Background oriented Schlieren (BOS) is a relatively new optical technique that allows capturing unsteady density gradient fields through turbomachinery cascad

Wave : exploring sound solastalgia

Nature sounds are often seen as relaxing, and understood as reconnecting our minds and bodies with something primeval. Such sounds are used for stress recovery in the fields of medicine and psychology, as well as in our personal meditation app downloaded on our phone. At the same time a continuous climate anxiety has invaded many personal experiences in relation to nature environments and phenomen

Plain cone-beam computed tomography during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair minimizes secondary interventions due to structural defects

ObjectivesStructural defects during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) can be difficult to identify only on two-dimensional imaging. This study aims to assess the potential additional value of routine intraoperative completion plain cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in identifying such defects during FEVAR.MethodsA retrospective review of all consecutive FEVARs performed at a tertia

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) risk across racial and ethnic populations: interim data from an international, prospective natural history study

Objective Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare disease that can result in severe bleeding in a fetus or newborn, including intracranial hemorrhage. Maternal-fetal human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a incompatibility is a prerequisite to maternal HPA-1a alloimmunization, which may result in FNAIT. The risk of HPA-1a alloimmunization is approximately 25-times higher in HPA-1

Influence of land use/land cover on stream water quality in two watersheds in the central Andes of Bolivia : An optimised methodology

Understanding the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) on stream water quality (WQ) is essential for conservation of ecosystem services (ES) and informing sustainable land use planning. This study investigates the influence of LULC on stream WQ during the wet and dry seasons 2022–2024, across two representative watersheds in the Bolivian central Andes, a region with marked physical gradients, a

The current false lumen endograft and clinical experience for false lumen occlusion in chronic aortic dissection

False lumen management of chronic aortic dissections has evolved during the past decade. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) continues to be the mainstay of endovascular dissection treatment and relies on the adequate sealing of the proximal entry tear. However, TEVAR alone often fails to achieve aortic remodeling due to persistent distal retrograde perfusion of the false lumen with contin

Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Arch Repair Outcomes in Female Patients : A Retrospective Multicentre Analysis

OBJECTIVE: Data on females managed with fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic arch repair (FB-Arch) are limited. This study aimed to present the 30 day and follow up outcomes of FB-Arch in female patients.METHODS: A retrospective analysis (1 January 2011 to 31 March 2024) among four European aortic centres was conducted according to STROBE guidelines. Consecutive female patients managed with

Editor's Choice - Branched Endovascular Aneurysm Repair with Inner and Outer Branches : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR) with inner branches (iBEVAR) and inner/outer branches (oBEVAR).DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature review was performed using the electronic bibliographic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to May 2024.REVIEW METHODS: The review was

Fundamental flow-path design, optimization and numerical analysis of flow in axial turbines

The current study presents a comprehensive research on the design, optimization, and numerical analysis of axial turbines, addressing the urgent need for more efficient and environmentally friendly energy conversion systems. With turbines being central to power generation, aviation, and marine propulsion, enhancing their performance is crucial to reducing fuel consumption, operational costs, and g

Introduction : Political Theology in the Spirit of Populism – Methods and Metaphors

Studies scrutinizing the significance of religion for populism are still scarce, but one metaphor has been adopted across almost all of them—the metaphor of the hijacked faith. This chapter sketches the nexus between metaphor and method in the study of populism, before it introduces the contributions to this compilation. Ulrich Schmiedel suggest that there are structural similarities between popul

The debt diaries : Turning participatory ethnography into action research

This article examines how piloting a diary method became pivotal in transforming a participatory ethnography on household debt in Greece and Spain into full-fledged Action Research —driven and shaped by the diary-writing participants themselves. We analyse the evolving dynamics between researchers and diary authors, as an initial phase of solitary diary writing prompted the collaborative developme
