Herpes zoster (HZ) can have a substantial impact on quality of life (QoL). The vaccine efficacy (VE) of a recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) was 68.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55.6% to 77.5%) in a phase 3 study in adult autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant ...

We report on the strategy used to optimize the sensitivity of our search for a neutron electric dipole moment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Measurements were made upon ultracold neutrons stored within a single chamber at the heart of our apparatus. A mercury cohabitin...

Introduction: There is continued unmet medical need for new medicines across countries especially for cancer, immunological diseases, and orphan diseases. However, there are growing challenges with funding new medicines at ever increasing prices along with funding incre...

Implicit learning is often assumed to be an effortless process. However, some artificial grammar learning and sequence learning studies using dual tasks seem to suggest that attention is essential for implicit learning to occur. This discrepancy probably results from th...

Abstract: Accurate preoperative staging and restaging of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with potentially resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is of paramount importance. In 2007, the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) published an algorithm on pr...

Background and Purpose- We evaluated deep learning algorithms' segmentation of acute ischemic lesions on heterogeneous multi-center clinical diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets and explored the potential role of this tool for phenotyping a...

Abstract: A new combination of a volumetric with a dynamic method to investigate the acidity properties of aluminosilicates is introduced. In a first step, the total acidity is determined volumetrically by the measurement of two-cycle adsorption (TCA) isotherms with amm...

AbstractCD44, a major receptor for glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA), is a broadly distributed cell surface glycoprotein implicated in multiple functions, including tumor growth and dissemination. The affinity of surface CD44 for HA is subject to regulation at several l...

A rhodamine–pyridine conjugate, , can selectively detect NCS in human embryonic kidney ​293 (HEK293) cells. DFT calculations suggest that this is due to non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonding N–H⋯NCS , π–π stacking) and long range electrostatic forces acting betwee...

BACKGROUND: The 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease than conventional blood pressure (CBP), but it remains unclear how it compares with "usual" blood pressure (UBP), estimated after CBP has been corrected for ...
