It has been reported that sleeve lobectomy (SL) concomitant with or without pulmonary artery reconstruction (PAR) might be an alternative procedure for pneumonectomy (PN) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to assess whether SL or PN offers a low morbidity and mortality and better long-term survival. We performed a meta-analysis of studies published in English betwe...

Phosphorus (P) is a crucial element for life given its central role in several biomolecules. P-bearing molecules have been discovered different regions of the Milky Way, but not yet towards an extragalactic environment. We searched nearby starburst Galaxy NGC 253. Using observations from ALMA Comprehensive High-resolution Extragalactic Molecular Inventory (ALCHEMI) project, we used MADCUBA pack...

introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 ps conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer) membrane. the 598 ps channel was voltage dependent and atp sensitive. however, the 368 ps channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and rer play import...

OBJECTIVES Parenteral nutrition (PN) is widely used to provide nutritional support to patients with inaccessible or inadequate length of gut or non-functioning gut. The objective was to compare practice in PN administration to results of the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) report, 'A Mixed Bag', and to establish whether good practice was being followed with...

BACKGROUND Although premature neonates (PN) gut microbiota has been studied, data about gut clostridial colonization in PN are scarce. Few studies have reported clostridia colonization in PN whereas Bacteroides and bifidobacteria have been seldom isolated. Such aberrant gut microbiota has been suggested to be a risk factor for the development of intestinal infections. Besides, PN are often trea...

Peripheral neuropathy in multiple myeloma patients receiving lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) therapy Jakubowiak et al recently published promising results from a phase 1/2 study evaluating the second-generation proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (CRd) for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. 1 Encouragingly, only 2...

INTRODUCTION Parenteral nutrition (PN) is an integral part of medical management of patients who do not have a functioning or accessible gastrointestinal tract. This paper discusses the clinical characteristics of patients receiving PN in a 420-bed hospital from 2009 to 2011. In addition, nutritional parameters were assessed at the start and end of PN and associated complications were analyzed....

Abstract We analyzed the minor-axis spectra of elliptical planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7009 observed with Keck HIRES a 0.″862 × 10″ slit placed at about 7.″5 and away from center 14″ center. The mean densities derived integrated [S ii ] 6716/6731 Å fluxes along length indicate density range 10 3.7 –10 4.1 cm −3 , while local spectral images show large variation 2.8 4.6 : vary more substantially th...
