Abstract Azoospermia is observed in 10-15% of infertile men and 60% of these cases are classified as having non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). NOA results from testicular failure, and one of the causes of this is the presence of varicocele. Varicocele is found in 5-10% of men with NOA and its repair is associated with the appearance of spermatozoa in the ejaculate in 21-55% of cases. This review d

The plant enzyme sucrose synthase (SuSy; EC 2.4.1.13) catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP into UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and fructose. The enzyme exists in different isoforms and is both located in the cytosol, membrane-bound and associated to the actin cytoskeleton. We here investigate sucrose synthase from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) BY-2 heterotrophic cell suspensions. Two dif

1. The effects of various neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) fragments on electrically-evoked twitches in the rat isolated vas deferens were studied and compared with the effects of full length NPY and PYY. The aim was to identify the shortest NPY/PYY fragments that are capable of suppressing the contractions. 2. NPY (1-36) and C-terminal fragments of NPY (from 11-36 to 22-36) suppressed th

Objective: To compare long term outcome between childhood-onset Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and low-weight Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in regard to psychiatric diagnoses, social and occupational functioning. Method: A consecutive series of 56 children originally treated for low-weight restrictive eating disorder (ED) were followed up after a mean of 15.9 years. ARFID-diagnoses were

The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle

BACKGROUND: The incidence of skin diseases in children is influenced by hereditary, social, and environmental factors. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of pediatric dermatoses at a University Hospital in Northern Greece.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed epidemiologic data of 940 patients, aged 0-18 years, who were referred to the outpatient clinic of a University Hospital

Objectives. To describe glucocorticoid (GC) use in the SLICC inception cohort and to explore factors associated with GC use. In particular we aimed to assess temporal trends in GC use and to what extent physician-related factors may influence use. Methods. Patients were recruited within 15 months of diagnosis of SLE from 33 centres between 1999 and 2011 and continue to be reviewed annually. Descri

Objectives: Evaluate if socioecological and biological factors, at the age of 8 years, are associated with lower level of physical activity (PA) 2 years later. Method: In a study cohort of 199 children aged 7.8±0.6 years, we used questionnaires and physical measurements to evaluate biological (eg, sex), social (eg, parental PA) and environmental (eg, school settings) factors. Objective PA was meas

BACKGROUND: A prolonged QT interval plays a causal role in fatal arrhythmia and is known to be a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Although diabetic patients with microvascular complications tend to have a longer QT interval, the therapeutic effect of diabetes on the QT interval remains unclear. Here, we assessed the changes in QT interval in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who received mu

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aims of this multi-institutional study were to assess the feasibility of iterative cytoreductive surgery (iCRS)/hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, iCRS in colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC), evaluate survival, recurrence, morbidity and mortality outcomes, and identify prognostic factors for overall survival.METHODS: Patients with CRPC that underwent

Aim: To compare the adherence to gluten-free diet between children with serology-based and biopsy-proven coeliac disease. Methods: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed in 257 Swedish children diagnosed with coeliac disease between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary hospital. Adherence to a gluten-free diet was systematically assessed by trained dietitians at follow-up. Mixed models were used to

A series of quinone-based compounds were tested for their ability to act as external electron acceptors in the 1-dehydrogenation of-αmethyl-hydrocortisone-21-acetate, with polyurethane-entrapped Arthrobacter simplex cells in buffer-saturated n-decan-1-ol. This organic solvent was needed to solubilize the steroid substrate. In aqueous medium, the conversion with free cells virtually stopped after o

We present a series of papers dedicated to modelling the accretion and differentiation of rocky planets that form by pebble accretion within the lifetime of the protoplanetary disc. In this first paper, we focus on how the accreted ice determines the distribution of iron between the mantle (oxidized FeO and FeO1.5) and the core (metallic Fe and FeS). We find that an initial primitive composition o

Background: The optimal treatment for metastatic high-grade gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms when Ki-67 ≤55% is unknown. A prospective multi-centre phase 2 study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus and temozolomide as first-line treatment for these patients. Methods: Patients received everolimus 10 mg daily continuously and temozolomide 150 mg/m2 fo

Objective: Extremes of prepregnancy maternal BMI increase neonatal mortality and morbidity at term. They also increase the risk of extremely preterm (EP, i.e., <27 weeks' gestational age) births. However, the association between maternal BMI and outcomes for EP babies is poorly understood. Methods: We used a cross-country design, bringing together the following three population-based, prospective,
