Preclinical transplantations using human neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells in spinal cord injury models have exhibited promising results and demonstrated cell integration and functional improvement in transplanted animals. Previous studies have relied on the generation of research grade cell lines in continuous culture. Using fresh cells presents logistic hurdles for clinical transition regarding t

Evaluating the (Formula presented.) scaling function of elastic proton–proton ((Formula presented.)) collisions from recent TOTEM data at (Formula presented.) TeV and comparing it with the same function of elastic proton–antiproton ((Formula presented.)) data of the D0 collaboration at (Formula presented.) TeV, we find, from this comparison alone, an at least 3.79 (Formula presented.) signal of od

This book invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, where words become the palette for the expression of design. Furthermore, this book extends its utility to individuals working with Al and text-to-image creation. By enhancing the effectiveness of prompts, it empowers Al systems like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and MidJourney to produce refined and contextually relevant visual outputs. The t

This article explores the links between intolerance of urban noise and emerging notions of privacy in mid-eighteenth-century Altona, a southern provincial town in the Danish monarchy. It focuses on Johann Peter Willebrand (1719–86), who dealt with urban noise both as Altona’s police director and as an intellectual and author of several influential books on the ideal organization of early modern ci

Background This study aimed to describe the initial treatment of clubfoot deformity in Sweden using a national cohort. Secondarily we aimed to analyse the results of the initial treatment in relation to foot severity and additional diseases. Methods A national register, the Swedish Pediatric Orthopedic Quality Register, was used to extract data on children born with clubfoot in 2016–2019. Children

The interplay between aging and immune system deterioration presents a formidable challenge to human health, especially in the context of a globally aging population. Aging is associated with a decline in the body’s ability to combat infections and an increased risk of various diseases, underlining the importance of rejuvenating the immune system as a strategy for promoting healthier aging. In iss

A healthy working life is fundamental for individuals and society. To date, increasingly research connects the earlier, pre-working life to later working life experiences and beyond, recognizing that a worker’s health and exposure starts before the working life begins. The research, however, often lacks a fundamental understanding of (i) the underlying mechanisms and pathways accounting for differ

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the roles of L-tryptophan (Trp) and its rate-limiting enzymes on the receptivity of bovine endometrial epithelial cells. Real-time PCR was conducted to analyze the differential expression of genes between different groups of bovine endometrial epithelial cells. Western blot was performed to detect Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) expression after treatment with Trp

Aim: There is ongoing controversy regarding the extent to which Hartmann's procedure (HP) should be used in rectal cancer treatment. This study was designed to investigate 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality following HP, anterior resection (AR) and abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer using a national registry. Methods: All patients operated for rectal cancer, tumour height

Rolando Garcı́a nos enseña que el marco socio-polı́tico determina en alguna medida el marco epistémico e influye igualmente en la estructura social del campo cientı́fico. Una recorrida por los acontecimiento principales, para la civilización europea, desde el presente hasta mediados de siglo XIX nos permiten poner a prueba esta tesis. En lugar de una “historia de las ideas”, una narrativa históric

This study examines spermatogonial numbers in testicular samples from 43 prepubertal patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). High-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation during HSCT can impact spermatogenesis requiring fertility preservation. Results show that 49% of patients have decreased and 19% severely depleted spermatogonial pool prior to HSCT. Patients with Fanconi a

This article studies the interrelations of memory work and activism in the Iranian context by focusing on the way remembering victims of state violence informs political activism. Due to constant repression, the recurrence of state violence and the criminalisation of oppositional activities and non-conforming lifestyles, the Iranian context is saturated with contentious memories that cannot be bro

Introduction: Galectin-3 is a pro-fibrotic β-galactoside binding lectin highly expressed in fibrotic liver and implicated in hepatic fibrosis. Selvigaltin (previously known as GB1211) is a novel orally active galectin-3 small molecule inhibitor that has high affinity for galectin-3 (human KD = 25 nM; rabbit KD = 12 nM) and high oral bioavailability in rabbits and man. In this study the efficacy of

Context. The light element (anti-)correlations shown by globular clusters (GCs) are the main spectroscopic signature of multiple stellar populations. These internal abundance variations provide us with fundamental constraints on the formation mechanism of stellar clusters. Aims. Using Gaia-ESO, the largest and most homogeneous survey of open clusters (OCs), we intend to check whether these stellar

A correct diagnosis and treatment of fingertip- and nail injuries, commonly seen in the emergency room, is crucial. Insufficient treatment can result in long-term complications, including finger dysfunction and dysaesthesia, nail deformity, infection, or pain. These remaining problems may induce severe impairment of the quality of life of the patient. This review summarises the diagnosis and treat

Background: The mechanisms underlying alcohol-induced breast carcinogenesis are not fully understood but may involve hormonal changes. Methods: Cross-sectional associations were investigated between self-reported alcohol intake and serum or plasma concentrations of estradiol, estrone, progesterone (in premenopausal women only), testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and sex

The antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 shows biased immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) gene usage, allowing definition of genetic signatures for some classes of neutralizing antibodies. We investigated IGHV gene usage frequencies by sorting spike-specific single memory B cells from individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 early in the pandemic. From two study participants and 703 spike-specific B

BACKGROUND: Atraumatic localized convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is an uncommon form of nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage characterized by bleeding limited to the cerebral convexities. Ipsilateral cSAH can result from a variety of causes, such as internal carotid artery stenosis, obstruction, and dissection, although concomitant contralateral cSAH is exceptionally rare. In this case,
