Molecular imaging is one of the pillars of precision surgery. Its applications range from early diagnostics to therapy planning, execution, and the accurate assessment of outcomes. In particular, molecular imaging solutions are in high demand in minimally invasive surgical strategies, such as the subst...
Ideas are for certain pur- poses—to overcome difficulties, to improve things, to enter- tain or attract, to find good or different ways of doing things. Successful ideas, contrary to belief, are hardly ever based on original thoughts. They come to one as the result of some outside ...
To find out whether PKD activation impacts AMPK phosphorylation under 1-day HS, an additional experiment was performed using a specific PKD inhibitor CRT 0066101. The use of the PKD inhibitor completely prevented the unloading-induced decrease in AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation (unpubl...
Congenital NS (CNS), which presents within the first 3 months of life, is commonly associated with causative mutations. Indeed, mutations have been identified in 75–100% of cases of CNS [8,10,65,66]. Causative mutations appear to largely occur in one of five genes (NPHS1,NPHS2,WT1,LAMB...
We performed experiments to investigate partitioning of lithophile Nb, Ta, Ce, and Ti between sulfide and simplified basaltic melt and find that they all exhibit, as expected, concave upward behavior on a plot of logD vs. log[FeO]. New experiments on Cu at low FeO contents confirm that ...
Since you get SA damage every round, it's OK to move (so that in the off chance he tries to use Scent to find you or swing blindly, it won't help) and just get one shot. Assuming you have 18 Str and a +4 Mighty Composite Longbow, your damage should be d8+4 Str+4 arrows+...
Regardless whether aiming for complete or partial IS withdrawal, one should carefully consider the variable effect of concomitantly applied drugs on Treg in vivo survival, ex- pansion, and function. From studies in animal models, we know that a high dose of CNIs hampers Treg proliferation, ...
find glare and dark adaptation to be the most commonly problematic subscale for people with glaucoma. Yet the QoL literature suggests that while difficulties relating to lighting and glare are frequently expressed, they are not perceived by patients to be the most bothersome symptoms. Indeed, Spaeth...

Chen and Chen [52] find that visitors’ perception of value in heritage tourism has a positive impact on their satisfaction. Based on this, we can hypothesize the following: H6: There is a positive correlation between the perceived value of online digital art exhibitions and visitor ...
