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,
IntroductionData regarding the impact of adenomyosis on the outcomes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment are conflicting. Standardized diagnostic criteria are prerequisites for studying a potential association between adenomyosis and IVF/ICSI treatment outcomes. This study aims to examine the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after the first IVF/
The efficacy of cryosurgery is believed to depend on the thaw time. The presence of adrenaline in local anesthetics affects blood perfusion, and may thus also affect the thaw time. The aim of the present study was to use IR thermography to monitor the tissue temperature during cryosurgery of actinic keratosis, and to assess the effect of adrenaline in local anesthetics.MethodsTwelve patients with
Protein and lactose of cheese whey can be separated using ultrafiltration membranes and lactose can be hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase. This study investigated the integration of ultrafiltration and enzymatic hydrolysis for simultaneous protein concentration and lactose hydrolysis. β-galactosidase was immobilized on ceramic membrane via surface activation with gelatin and subsequent enzyme cross-lin
The fertilizer industry is experiencing tremendous stress due to its dependence on limited natural resources and high energy consumption, thus great attention has been paid for alternative nitrogen and phosphorus resources. This study employed electrodialysis (ED) with sacrificial magnesium anode to recover nitrogen and phosphorus (towards struvite formation) from primary municipal wastewater and
The inclusive production of the charm-strange baryon ωc0 is measured for the first time via its semileptonic decay into ω-e+νe at midrapidity (|y|
Objective: To report outcomes of urgent juxtarenal/pararenal aneurysms (J/P-AAAs) managed by off-the-shelf multibranched thoracoabdominal endografts (Cook, T-branch). Methods: In this observational, multicenter, retrospective study, patients with J/P-AAAs treated by urgent endovascular repair by T-branch in 23 European aortic centers, from 2013 to 2023, were analyzed. Contained J/P-AAAs rupture, p
The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) is a partnership between the European Space Agency and Switzerland with important contributions by 10 additional ESA member States. It is the first S-class mission in the ESA Science Programme. CHEOPS has been flying on a Sun-synchronous low Earth orbit since December 2019, collecting millions of short-exposure images in the visible domain to study e
The COVID-19 pandemic affected populations worldwide, generating prolific media coverage. From an Antonovsky perspective, this study explored how adults articulated children and their coping strategies during the pandemic in Swedish newspapers. Data was collected through a systematic search in the Retriever Database, March 2020 to June 2021. Following manual screening, 956 articles were included f
Para athletes present a broad range of sports-related injuries and illnesses, frequently encountering barriers when accessing healthcare services. The periodic health evaluation (PHE) is a valuable tool for continuously monitoring athletes’ health, screening for health conditions, assisting in the surveillance of health problems by establishing baseline information and identifying barriers to athl
