Sleep-wake disturbances (SWDs) is one of the most common complaints following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The high prevalence and socioeconomic burden of sleep-wake disturbances (SWDs) post-TBI have only been recognized in the past decade. Common SWDs induced by TBI include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), hypersomnia, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Sleep disturbances can significantly compromise quality of life, strain interpersonal relationships, diminish work productivity, exacerbate other clinical conditions, and impede the rehabilitation process of TBI patients...

This publication reports, for the first time, the birth of a healthy child after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of motile spermatozoa after conventional ("slow") freezing of epididymal spermatozoa using 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) of high molecular weight (360 kDa). Cryopreservation solution with 10% PVP was added to 30 µL of spermatozoa suspension in a 1:1 ratio, with a final PVP concentration of 5%. Then, polycarbonate capillaries for oocyte denudation with a diameter of 170 µm were filled with 60 µL of the resulting sperm suspension...

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a debilitating condition that can lead to femoral head collapse. Core decompression with adjuvant cellular therapies, such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate, delays disease progression and improves outcomes. However, inconsistent results in the literature may be due to limitations in surgical technique and difficulty in targeting the necrotic lesions. Here, we present a surgical technique utilizing computed tomography-based three-dimensional modeling and instrument tracking to guide the therapy to the center of the lesion...

Background Patients with COVID-19 under invasive mechanical ventilation are at higher risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), associated with increased healthcare costs, and unfavorable prognosis. The underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon have not been thoroughly dissected. Therefore, this study attempted to bridge this gap by performing a lung microbiota analysis and evaluating the host immune responses that could drive the development of VAP. Materials and methods In this prospective cohort study, mechanically ventilated patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled...

To report an instructive case involving destructive spondylitis and synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, presenting with torticollis and postoperative dysphagia without hoarseness, attributed to hidden myotonic dystrophy (DM). A 51-year-old male patient with a cervical deformity, who was previously managed conservatively for a metastatic tumor, underwent reconstruction surgery and subsequently experienced postoperative dysphagia. The presence of destructive spondylitis with torticollis, warranting prompt assessment to prevent paralysis, adds complexity to the delayed identification of DM...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) represents a chemically significant oxidant that is prized for its diverse applicability across various industrial domains. Recent innovations have shed light on the electrosynthesis of H2 O2 through two-electron oxygen reduction reactions (2e- ORR) or two-electron water oxidation reactions (2e- WOR), processes that underscore the attractive possibility for the on-site production of this indispensable oxidizing agent. However, the translation of these methods into practical utilization within chemical manufacturing industries remains an aspiration rather than a realized goal...

Dendritic cells (DC) are mediators between innate and adaptive immune responses to pathogens and tumors. DC development is determined by signaling through the receptor tyrosine kinase Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in bone marrow myeloid progenitors. Recently the naming conventions for DC phenotypes have been updated to distinguish between "Conventional" DCs (cDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). Activating mutations of FLT3, including Internal Tandem Duplication (FLT3-ITD), are associated with poor prognosis for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients...

This article examines the rise and decline of the enthusiasm for intelligence testing in early twentieth-century China, focusing on the appeal, the challenges, and the critiques revolving around this psychological instrument. The introduction of intelligence testing reflected not only China's urgent needs in modernizing its merit system, but also Chinese psychologists' aspirations for pursuing exactitude and redefining the racial characteristics of their compatriots against foreign interpretations. But despite psychologists' endeavors, the political and geographical fragmentation of Republican China troubled the epistemic imperative of uniformity demanded by Euro-American psychometrics and therefore undermined the validity of measurement...

Juxta-articular myxoma (JAM) is a rare soft tissue tumour predominantly composed of mucinous tissue and usually found around large joints. We report a 73-year-old woman with a 5-year history of a soft tissue mass in the thenar eminence of the right wrist who presented to our department. An initial diagnosis of a ganglion cyst was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the jellied content of the mass by aspiration. Two years after presentation, surgical treatment with tumour resection and carpal tunnel release via the radial approach was performed because the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome worsened, and the tumour invaded the carpal tunnel...

Background: This study aimed to assess the peri- and postprocedural outcomes of atherectomy-assisted endovascular treatment of the common femoral (CFA) and popliteal arteries. Methods: Phoenix atherectomy was used for the treatment of 73 and 53 de novo CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively, in 122 consecutive patients. Safety endpoints encompassed perforation and peripheral embolization. Postprocedural endpoints included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and clinical success (an improvement of ⩾ 2 Rutherford category [RC])...

BACKGROUND: Vector surveillance is among the World Health Organization global vector control response (2017-2030) pillars. Human landing catches are a gold standard but difficult to implement and potentially expose collectors to malaria infection. Other methods like light traps, pyrethrum spray catches and aspiration are less expensive and less risky to collectors. METHODS: Three mosquito sampling methods (UV light traps, CDC light traps and Prokopack aspiration) were evaluated against human landing catches (HLC) in two villages of Rarieda sub-county, Siaya County, Kenya...
