Four new superdeformed (SD) bands have been observed in 147Gd using the EUROGAM II spectrometer. By comparison with 146,148,149Gd SD bands, we use the effective alignment to assign excited band configurations, with the support of the Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking formalism. The effect of the crossing of the [642]5/2 and [651]1/2 neutron orbitals lying just below the magic N= 86 SD shell gap has been
Medulloblastoma and glioblastoma are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in children and adults, respectively. Tumor-associated macrophages and microglia are key non-cancerous cell types in these tumors. These cells interact with CD24, a so called “don’t eat me signal” expressed on tumor cells, through Siglec-10, a receptor that contributes to immune evasion by promoting an immunosuppre
Background Bariatric metabolic surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) effectively treats obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, weight loss varies, necessitating predictive factors. Methods We analysed 12- and 24-month weight loss data from 811 patients (RYGB or SG). Factor Analysis of Mixed Data and neural network (NN) modelling identified distinct patient phenotypes
Background: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) demands prompt mechanistic clarification. Early integration of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can refine diagnosis during the acute phase. Methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients (41 ± 10 years; 71% men) presenting with troponin-positive chest pain and unobstructed coronar
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is often asymptomatic early on but can progress to irreversible conditions like cirrhosis. Due to limited access to human liver biopsies, systematic and integrative molecular resources remain scarce. In this study, we performed transcriptomic analyses on liver and metabolomic analyses on liver and plasma samples from morbidly obese i
Stroke represents one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, with 11.9 million people experiencing stroke annually and a disproportionate burden falling on low- and middle-income countries, where 87% of stroke deaths and 89% of disability occur. Despite stroke being highly preventable—with 84% of the burden attributable to modifiable risk factors—and the availability
Background: Knowledge is increasing about TSC-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TAND), but little is known about the potentially confounding effects of intellectual ability (IA) on the rates of TAND across age, sex, and genotype. We evaluated TAND in (a) children vs. adults, (b) males vs. females, and (c) TSC1 vs. TSC2 mutations, after stratification for levels of IA, in a large, internationa
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied for medical knowledge discovery and to support or automate clinical decision-making. The aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge on (1) how AI experts, radiologists, and standardizers make sense of AI, in the processes of medical AI development, clinical use and standardization, and (2) how this sensemaking c
High-flux hemodialysis (HD) and high-dose hemodiafiltration (HDF) are established treatments for patients with kidney failure. Since HDF has been associated with improved survival rates compared to HD, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of HDF compared to HD. Cost–utility analyses were performed from a societal perspective alongside the multinational randomized controlled CONVINCE trial. A Markov
Concern has risen that current global warming and more frequent extreme events such as droughts and floods will increase conflict around the world. This concern has spurred both social science research on contemporary climate, peace, and conflict as well as research in the historical sciences on past climate, weather, warfare, and violence. This perspectives article compares these two fields of sc
Three quarters of all breast cancers express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1 gene), which promotes tumor growth and constitutes a direct target for endocrine therapies. ESR1 mutations have been implicated in therapy resistance in metastatic breast cancer, in particular to aromatase inhibitors. ESR1 mutations promote constitutive ER activity and affect other signaling pathways, allowing cancer cell
Background and purpose: Recommendations for regional radiotherapy (RT) of sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive breast cancer are debated. We here report a RT quality assessment of the SENOMAC trial. Materials and Methods: The SENOMAC trial randomized clinically node-negative breast cancer patients with 1–2 SLN macrometastases to completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) or SLN biopsy only be
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is routinely required during pre-participation screening in the presence of symptoms, family history of sudden cardiac death or cardiomyopathies <40-year-old, murmurs, abnormal ECG findings or in the follow-up of athletes with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). TTE is a cost-effective first-line imaging modality to evaluate the cardiac remodeling due to
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high-precision time series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular interest are the circular regions of 12° radius centred around the ecliptic poles that will be observed continuously for a full year. Spectroscopic stellar parameters are desirable to characterize and select suitable targets for
Objective: The European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) has developed clinical practice guidelines for thecare of patients with diseases of the mesenteric and renal arteries and veins, in succession to the first 2017guidelines, with the aim of assisting physicians and patients in selecting the best management strategy.Methods: These guidelines are based on scientific evidence and expert opinio
Aims: In the randomized DAPA-MI clinical trial, 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily improved cardiometabolic outcomes versus placebo after acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without established diabetes or heart failure (HF). We assessed associations between baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiometabolic outcomes in DAPA-MI. Methods: The primary outcome, assessed us
