BACKGROUND: Surgical management of midcarpal instability (MCI), also referred to as carpal instability nondissociative, remains controversial due to limited evidence on different techniques. This study aimed to assess and compare differences in patient-reported pain, hand and wrist function, patient satisfaction, range of motion, and return to work in patients with non-traumatic MCI who underwent surgical treatment either through dorsal wrist capsulodesis or three-ligament tenodesis (3LT)...

Heat-to-charge conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials is closely linked to the entropy per charge carrier. Thus, magnetic materials are promising building blocks for highly efficient energy harvesters as their carrier entropy is boosted by a spin degree of freedom. In this work, we investigate how this spin-entropy impacts heat-to-charge conversion in the A-type antiferromagnet CrSBr. We perform simultaneous measurements of electrical conductance and thermocurrent while changing magnetic order using the temperature and magnetic field as tuning parameters...

Titanium (Ti) implants are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on implant surfaces pose a significant risk of postoperative infections and complications. Conventional surface modifications often lack long-lasting antibacterial efficacy, necessitating the development of novel coatings with enhanced antimicrobial properties. This study aims to develop a novel Ag-TiO2 -OTS (Silver-Titanium dioxide-Octadecyltrichlorosilane, ATO) nanocomposite coating, through a chemical plating method...

INTRODUCTION: When out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) becomes refractory, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a potential option to restore circulation and improve the patient's outcome. However, ECPR requires specific materials and highly skilled personnel, and it is unclear whether increased survival and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) justify these costs. METHODS: This cost-effectiveness study was part of the INCEPTION study, a multicenter, pragmatic randomized trial comparing hospital-based ECPR to conventional CPR (CCPR) in patients with refractory OHCA in 10 cardiosurgical centers in the Netherlands...

This preliminary ethical appraisal from the STOPSTORM.eu consortium is meant to raise critical points that clinicians administering stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation should consider to meet the highest standards in medical ethics and thus promote quality of life of patients recruited for radiotherapy treatments at a stage in which they experience a significant degree of vulnerability.

Periodontitis, a chronic oral disease instigated by bacteria, severely compromises human oral health. The prevailing clinical treatment for periodontitis involves mechanical scraping in conjunction with antibiotics. Phototherapy is employed to rapidly remove the bacteria and achieve periodontitis treatment, effectively circumventing the adverse effects associated with traditional therapies. Constructing 2D/2D van der Waals (VDW) heterojunctions is a key strategy for obtaining excellent photocatalytic activity...

The lycophyte Phylloglossum drummondii is the sole inhabitant of its genus in the Huperzioideae group and one of a small minority of plants which perform uridine to cytidine RNA editing. We assembled the P. drummondii chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes and used RNA sequence data to build a comprehensive profile of organellar RNA editing events. In addition to many C-to-U editing events in both organelles, we found just four U-to-C editing events in the mitochondrial transcripts cob, nad1, nad5 and rpl2...

BACKGROUND: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) occurs in up to 50% of stroke survivors. Presence of pre-existing vascular brain injury, in particular the extent of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), is associated with worse cognitive outcome after stroke, but the role of WMH location in this association is unclear. AIM: We determined if WMH in strategic white matter tracts explain cognitive performance after stroke. METHODS: Individual patient data from 9 ischemic stroke cohorts with MRI were harmonized through the Meta VCI Map consortium...

Withdrawal of Life-Sustaining Treatment in the PICU From the Nursing Staff's Perspective: Integrative Review Abstract: Background: Withdrawal of life sustaining measures is a common mode of treatment prior to the death of a critically ill child and has implications for all involved. The perspective of nurses has not yet been considered in this context. Aim: How do nurses experience the termination of life-sustaining measures in the paediatric intensive care unit? What is their role in this process? Methods: An integrative review was conducted to answer the research question...

Following the commodity risk assessments of Acer palmatum plants grafted on A. davidii from China, in which Crisicoccus matsumotoi (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of C. matsumotoi for the territory of the European Union. Recent taxonomic revision of the genus Crisisoccus concluded that C. matsumotoi is a synonym of C. seruratus ; therefore, the categorisation will use the current valid name C...

BACKGROUND: In the care of patients with persevering (‘treatment-resistant’) persistant physical symptoms (PPS), problems are common. With this study, we want to identify starting points for improvement of care, including suggestions for the role of mental health care. AIM: Using the profile for persevering PPS we will estimate the prevalence, describe characteristics of this patient group and map problems encountered in their care. METHOD: Online survey in general practitioners (GPs)...

Muscle-specific kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK MG) is caused by autoantibodies against MuSK in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). MuSK MG patients have fluctuating, fatigable skeletal muscle weakness, in particular of bulbar muscles. Severity differs greatly between patients, in spite of comparable autoantibody levels. One explanation for inter-patient and inter-muscle variability in sensitivity might be variations in compensatory muscle responses. Previously, we developed a passive transfer mouse model for MuSK MG...

Computational Protocol for the Spectral Assignment of NMR Resonances in Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is routinely used in the field of covalent organic frameworks to elucidate or confirm the structure of the synthesized samples and to understand dynamic phenomena. Typically this involves the interpretation and simulation of the spectra through the assumption of symmetry elements of the building units, hinging on the correct assignment of each line shape. To avoid misinterpretation resulting from library-based assignment without a theoretical basis incorporating the impact of the framework, this work proposes a first-principles computational protocol for the assignment of experimental spectra, which exploits the symmetry of the underlying building blocks for computational feasibility...

BACKGROUND: To compare the outcome of eyes with a macula-on giant retinal tear (GRT) detachment treated with pars-plana-vitrectomy (PPV) depending on the used endotamponade. METHODS: All consecutive cases with a macula-on GRT-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) managed with PPV between 2007 and 2022 were retrospectively assessed depending on the selected endotamponade. By reviewing medical charts and surgical protocols the pre- and intraoperative parameters were analysed in detail...

Fluorinated graphene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial composed of three atomic layers, a central carbon layer sandwiched between two layers of fluorine atoms, has attracted considerable attention across various fields, particularly for its potential use in biomedical applications. Nonetheless, scant effort has been devoted to assessing the potential toxicological implications of this nanomaterial. In this study, we scrutinize the potential impact of fluorinated graphene on a protein model, HP35 by utilizing extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods...
