In the January issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine the "ATS/ERS international multidisciplinary consensus classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias" [1] was published, and this certainly deserves an editorial comment in the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ). Previously, several classifications have been proposed, of which the most influential were...

This study reports the design and development of a novel chemiresistor (CR) sensor using ion imprinted polymer (IIP)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) [IIP/rGO-CR] for cadmium ions (Cd(II)) determination in water. The consisted CR transducer made rGO channel bridging source drain electrodes prepared by self-assembly thermal reduction (GO) on Au interdigitated chip fabricated Si/SiO2 s...

Abstract The majority of Type II-plateau supernovae (SNe IIP) have light curves that are not compatible with the explosions stars in a vacuum; instead, require progenitors to be embedded circumstellar matter (CSM). We report on successful fitting well-observed SN IIP 2021yja as core-collapse explosion massive star an initial mass ∼15 M ⊙ and pre-explosion radius 631 R . To explain early-time be...

To improve outcomes in open heart surgery (OHS) patients, the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) requires 6 am postoperative day (POD) 1 and 2 blood glucose (BG) to be ≤200mg/dL. This study examined risk factors for SCIP noncompliance when using an insulin infusion protocol (IIP) and evaluated this SCIP metric as a surrogate for glycemic control. The authors divided 99 consecutive OHS pat...

The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between change in interpersonal difficulties with change in chronic pain, health status and psychological state in 257 irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients in a randomized control trial comparing psychotherapy, antidepressant and usual care. We assessed at three time points interpersonal problems (IIP-32), abdominal pain and bowel s...

Bariatric operations in obese patients with type 2 diabetes often improve diabetes before weight loss is observed. In patients mainly Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass with partial stomach resection is performed. Duodenojejunal bypass (DJB) and ileal interposition (IIP) are employed in animal experiments. Due to increased glucose exposition of L-cells located in distal ileum, all bariatric surgery proce...
