PURPOSE To determine the efficacy, risk factors for failure, and adverse events of a standalone novel ab-externo SIBS microshunt with mitomycin C (MMC) during 1-year follow-up. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional case series. SUBJECTS Glaucomatous eyes with an IOP above target and/or progressing on maximally tolerated medical therapy. METHODS…[Read more]

Conus-involved patients, showed no significant difference regarding age, sex, concurrent brain lesions, and their partial recovery. Predictive values show that the probability of being diagnosed with anti-MOG is roughly 13 times higher in conus-involved patients (25.93% vs. 1.97%), although this probability was still higher for MS, as it has a…[Read more]

Administration of CQCQD significantly inhibited JAK-2 activation and down-regulated phosphorylation of downstream substrate STAT-3 the same as AG490, resulting in inhibition of inflammatory mediators and amelioration of pancreatitis. CONCLUSION The results suggested that CQCQD exerted anti-inflammatory effects on AP via reducing expression and…[Read more]

Udrea et al [1] reported 95.1% sensitivity and 78.3% specificity using the SkinVision app for risk assessment of skin lesions. These are likely to be overestimates due to the nature of the study design and flaws in sampling. This article is protected by copyright.

Postsurgical psychiatric destabilization occurred and included, at least, a need to reinforce treatment and follow-up. In the 3 case studies, postsurgical manic or hypomanic decompensation occurred. Thus, although effective in terms of weight loss, bariatric surgery could be a destabilizing factor for those with bipolar disorders. Current practice…[Read more]

Iron overload affects the cell cycle of various cell types, but the effect of iron overload on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has not yet been reported. Here, we show that the proliferation capacities of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were significantly inhibited by ferric ammonium…[Read more]

An innovative strategy is presented to engineer supported-Pt nanowire (NW) electrocatalysts with a high Pt content for the cathode of hydrogen fuel cells. This involves deposition of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) onto 3D multimodal porous carbon (MPC) (denoted as g-CN@MPC) and using the g-CN@MPC as an electrocatalyst support. The protective…[Read more]
