Fenestrated Endovascular Repair using Short Tipped Distal Components with “No Cross” Concept to Prevent Crushing of Target Vessel Bridging Stents
ObjectiveTo compare and evaluate early and midterm outcomes of a “no cross” novel approach with short tip vs. standard tip introducer systems for all distal components to prevent target vessel bridging stent kink or collapse during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR).MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients who underwent FEVAR at a tertiary referral centre between O
Synthesis of Boronic Ester γ‐Lactam Building Blocks
Saturated heterocycles are found widely in biologically active compounds such as medicinal drugs and agrochemicals. However, boronic acid-derived building blocks for these structures have limited availability, particularly in comparison to heteroaromatic boronic acids. We report the preparation of boronic ester γ-lactams through a Cu-catalysed conjugate borylation-cyclisation protocol. Using a chi
Tight Security of TNT and Beyond : Attacks, Proofs and Possibilities for the Cascaded LRW Paradigm
Liskov, Rivest and Wagner laid the theoretical foundations for tweakable block ciphers (TBC). In a seminal paper, they proposed two (up to) birthday-bound secure design strategies — LRW1 and LRW2 — to convert any block cipher into a TBC. Several of the follow-up works consider cascading of LRW-type TBCs to construct beyond-the-birthday bound (BBB) secure TBCs. Landecker et al. demonstrated that ju
Cost Effectiveness of Adding Fenfluramine to Standard of Care for Patients with Dravet Syndrome in Sweden
Objective: This study evaluated, in a Swedish setting, the cost effectiveness of fenfluramine (FFA) as an add-on to standard of care (SoC) for reducing seizure frequency in Dravet syndrome, a severe developmental epileptic encephalopathy. Methods: Cost effectiveness of FFA+SoC compared with SoC only was evaluated using a patient-level simulation model with a lifetime horizon. Patient characteristi
Three myths about old age before modernity – and why historians should care
Despite the increasing challenges twenty-first-century societies face in accommodating older adults, many misconceptions about old age before modernity continue to exist. These are rarely expressed in ‘formal theory’ produced by academics, but rather persist in ‘lay theory’ which is anchored in collective memory and popular culture. Such taken-for-granted beliefs are nevertheless influential, firs
Control of an affinity purification procedure using a thermal biosensor
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was recovered from a solution by affinity binding to an N6-(6-aminohexyl)-AMP-Sepharose gel. An enzyme thermistor unit was employed to continously measure the activity of the unbound LDH. The enzyme activity signal from the enzyme thermistor was used in a PID controller to regulate the addition of AMP-Sepharose gel to the LDH solution. In another type of experiment, a d
Specific monitoring of chromatographic procedures
On-line monitoring of chromatographic procedures involving biomolecules is usually restricted to UV registration and determination of the pH or conductivity of the mobile phase. A more specific monitoring of proteins, for instance direct identification of a special enzyme, would greatly facilitate and speed up purification. We have found that flow calorimetry, performed with an enzyme thermistor i
Magnetic aqueous two-phase separation in preparative applications
Magnetic aqueous two-phase separation is a new technique to speed up the separation of aqueous two-phase systems (Anal. Biochem. 1987, 167, 331–339). It is based on the addition of magnetically susceptible material (e.g. 1-μ iron oxide particles) which induces rapid phase separation when a mixed system is placed in a magnetic field. The technique has been applied to a number of two-phase systems.
Studies of peptidolysis during early maturation and its influence on low-fat cheese quality
The effects of peptidolysis during early cheese ripening were studied in a low-fat (10% fat), round-eyed, semi-hard cheese using gel permeation chromatography and determinations of N content in cheese extracts. Addition of a heat-treated culture of Lactobacillus helveticus enhanced the peptidolytic activity even during the first weeks of cheese ripening. An aminopeptidase was found to have the nec
Studies of the reversed α-mannosidase reaction in high concentrations of mannose
The reversal of the hydrolytic activity of α-mannosidase from jack bean has been studied in high concentrations of mannose. From an initial concentration of 85% mannose (w/w), a maximum yield of 70% (w/w) di- and oligosaccharides was obtained. The products were separated by gel chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by gas-liquid chromatographymass spectrometr
Synthesis of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-β-d-galactopyrano-syl-d-galactose by the sequential use of β-d-galactosidases from bovine testes and escherichia coli
β-d-Galp-(1→3)-d-GalNAc (1) was synthesised from lactose and GalNAc on a mmolar scale by transgalactosylation using β-d-galactosidase from bovine testes. The large proportions of unwanted oligosaccharides in the product mixture were removed by treatment with β-d-galactosidase from E. coli, which left 1, monosaccharides, and a small proportion of trisaccharides. Carbon-Celite chromatography then ga
Solar light driven atomic and electronic transformations in a plasmonic Ni@NiO/NiCO3 photocatalyst revealed by ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
This work employs ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) to delve into the atomic and electronic transformations of a core-shell Ni@NiO/NiCO3 photocatalyst - a model system for visible light active plasmonic photocatalysts used in water splitting for hydrogen production. This catalyst exhibits reversible structural and electronic changes in response to water vapor and solar simu
Synthesis of Galβ1-3GlcNAc and Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ-SEt by an enzymatic method comprising the sequential use of β-galactosidases from bovine testes and Escherichia coli
Galβ1-3GlcNAc (1) and Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ-SEt (2) were synthesized on a 100 mg scale by the transgalactosylation reaction of bovine testes β-galactosidase with lactose as donor andN-acetylglucosamine and GlcNAcβ-SEt as acceptors. In both cases the product mixtures contained unwanted isomers and were treated with β-galactosidase from Escherichia coli which has a different specificity, under conditions f
Identifying older adults at increased risk of medication-related hospital readmission
IntroductionPrevious studies show that approximately 40% of hospital readmissions in older adults are medication-related and that about 70% of these could be prevented. A risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults at increased risk of medication-related readmission could help maximize the impact of implemented preventive measures and save healthcare resources. In this study we made furth
Lexical Semantics
This entry offers a short description of basic research questions, different theories, and topics in lexical semantic research. At the beginning, it states five fundamental questions that all lexical semantics theories need to attend to in descriptions and explanations of their observations and findings. A brief presentation of past and present theoretical approaches on lexical semantics follows,
Violence Against Women in Lebanon : The Challenge of Legislative Action
Issue: Intermedial Interventions in the City : June 2024
This special issue of the journal Urban Matters on “Intermedial Interventions in the City” explores the complexity of urban media life by adressing such questions as: how do intermedial processes shape, conceptualise, and otherwise intervene in the city? How do different kinds of media combinations produce and contest urban space? How are intermedial performances integrated into the social and pol
Incompatible logics? Professionals and volunteers as collaborating partners in the disability services, the social services, and the probation services
This study explores the integration of volunteers within Sweden’s public sector, specifically in disability services, probation services, and social services. In a study of public documents, it examines the differing logics of professional and voluntary social work, noting three key distinctions: practical preconditions, qualifications, and tasks. Professionals are paid employees with formal educa
