A unifying setup for opinion models originating in statistical physics and stochastic opinion dynamics are developed and used to analyze election data. The results are interpreted in the light of political theory. We investigate the connection between Potts (Curie-Weiss) models and stochastic opinion models in the view of the Boltzmann distribution and stochastic Glauber dynamics. We particularly find that the q-voter model can be considered as a natural extension of the Zealot model, which is adapted by Lagrangian parameters...

BACKGROUND: A therapeutic effect of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on fecal incontinence (FI) and quality of life has been proven in adults. SNM is, however, rarely used in pediatric cases. The aim of the study is to investigate effects of SNM in pediatric constipation in a prospective parallel-group trial. METHODS: A monocentric, randomized, unblinded, parallel-group trial is conducted. SNM is conducted in the invasive variant and in an innovative, external approach with adhesive electrodes (enteral neuromodulation, ENM)...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of talonavicular-cuneiform joint fusion with iliac bone grafting and without bone grafting in the treatment of Müller-Weiss diseases (MWD). METHODS: The clinical data of 44 patients (44 feet) with MWD who received talonavicular-cuneiform joint fusion between January 2017 and November 2022 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 25 patients were treated with structural iliac bone grafting (bone grafting group) and 19 patients without bone grafting (non-bone grafting group)...

The hepatic content of amyloid beta (Aβ) decreases drastically in human and rodent cirrhosis highlighting the importance of understanding the consequences of Aβ deficiency in the liver. This is especially relevant in view of recent advances in anti-Aβ therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, it is shown that partial hepatic loss of Aβ in transgenic AD mice immunized with Aβ antibody 3D6 and its absence in amyloid precursor protein (APP) knockout mice (APP-KO), as well as in human liver spheroids with APP knockdown upregulates classical hallmarks of fibrosis, smooth muscle alpha-actin, and collagen type I...

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to investigate whether the combination of semantic feature analysis (SFA) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in treating word retrieval in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and how long the potential effects last. METHODS: A 56-year-old woman diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and svPPA participated in this longitudinal single-subject design. A total of four 2-week stimulation phases were conducted over a 14-month period, each of which was started depending on the participant's language performance...

BACKGROUND: Midfoot arthrodesis is regarded as the main surgical approach for treating Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of postoperative pain during MWD treatment through midfoot reduction or malreduction during arthrodesis and to explore the factors influencing postoperative pain in patients with MWD. METHODS: A total of 67 patients with MWD were recruited and divided into two groups according to whether midfoot alignment was reduced: reduction group ( n = 38) and malreduction group ( n = 29)...

OBJECTIVES: Perforation of esophagus or stomach is a potential complication during and after insertion of a gastric tube in neonates. The aim of this study was to analyze different types of gastric tubes in a three-dimensional (3D) model of neonatal esophagus and stomach regarding potential perforations. METHODS: A 3D model of esophagus and stomach was created based on computed tomography data of a term neonate. Three types of gastric tubes were inserted into the 3D model, the localization was examined by radioscopy and the behavior, stiffness and manageability of each gastric tube was evaluated...

BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is among the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Several factors-including age, sex, and tear severity-have been identified as predictors for outcome after repair. The influence of the tear etiology on functional and structural outcome remains controversial. PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of tear etiology (degenerative vs traumatic) on functional and structural outcomes in patients with supraspinatus tendon tears...

However, little is known about the impact of therapies for PTSD on FSD according to DSM-5 criteria. AIM/OBJECTIVE: To examine if sexual functioning diagnosed according to DSM-5 criteria improves after treatment for PTSD in women with a PTSD diagnosis after interpersonal child abuse.

OBJECTIVE: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) constitutes a critical public health issue and has sex-specific characteristics. Initial evidence suggests that progesterone and estradiol might reduce or increase alcohol intake, respectively. However, there is a need for a better understanding of how the menstrual cycle in females and the ratio of progesterone to estradiol in females and males influence alcohol use patterns in individuals with AUD. METHODS: In this sex-separated multicenter longitudinal study, the authors analyzed 12-month data on real-life alcohol use (from 21,460 smartphone entries), menstrual cycle, and serum progesterone-to-estradiol ratios (from 667 blood samples at four individual study visits) in 74 naturally cycling females and 278 males with AUD between 2020 and 2022, using generalized and general linear mixed modeling...

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is an atypical Parkinsonian disorder which results in deterioration of motor and cognitive skills, including language disorders such as impaired word retrieval. While there is evidence of successful use of tDCS to improve word fluency in PSP, little is known about the effectiveness of brain stimulation for word retrieval in sentence context. Therefore, we investigated whether tDCS reduces sentence completion time in PSP patients. In this sham-controlled, triple-blinded crossover study, anodal tDCS (atDCS) was applied over the left Broca's area at 2 mA for 20 min (n = 23)...

No consensus exists regarding operative treatment of Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). Its only classification is based solely on Méary's angle and serves neither as guide to management nor prognosis. We report on 33 feet that underwent surgery following failed conservative management. Treatment was directed towards joint(s) involved, as determined by clinical examination, plain radiography and SPECT-CT. Thus, surgery consisted of isolated talonavicular in 6 feet, triple in 8, subtalar and talonavicular in 7, talonaviculocuneiform in 4, talonaviculocuneiform with interpositional tricortical iliac crest graft in 6 and pantalar arthrodesis in 2...

BACKGROUND: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease leading to muscular weakness and premature death. Three therapeutic options are currently available including gene replacement therapy (GRT), which is potentially cardiotoxic. High-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) is widely used to monitor potential cardiac contraindications or side effects of GRT, but reference data in healthy newborns are limited and lacking in neonates with SMA. The aim of this study is to determine the range of pre-therapeutic hs-cTnI concentrations in neonates with SMA and to provide guidance for the assessment of these values...

The diamond potential of kimberlites is difficult to assess due to several mantle and magmatic processes affecting diamond content. Traditionally, initial evaluations are based on the compositions of mantle-derived minerals (garnet, chromite, clinopyroxene), which allow an assessment of pressure-temperature conditions and lithologies suitable for diamond formation. Here we explore a complementary approach that considers the conditions of diamonds destruction by interaction with melts/fluids (metasomatism). We test the hypothesis that carbonate-rich metasomatism related to kimberlite melt infiltration into the deep lithosphere is detrimental to diamond preservation...
