Semilocal defects [PDF]

Physical Review D, 1992
I analyze the interplay of gauge and global symmetries in the theory of topological defects. In a two-dimensional model in which both gauge symmetries and {\it exact} global symmetries are spontaneously broken, stable vortices may fail to exist even though magnetic flux is topologically conserved.

Deformed defects [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2002
We introduce a method to obtain deformed defects starting from a given scalar field theory which possesses defect solutions. The procedure allows the construction of infinitely many new theories that support defect solutions, analytically expressed in terms of the defects of the original theory. The method is general, valid for both topological and non-

Anisocytosis predicts postoperative renal replacement therapy in patients undergoing heart valve surgery

Cardiology Journal, 2020
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the serious postoperative complications in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. The aim of the present study was to identify selected biomarkers to predict AKI requiring renal replacement.

Hinokiflavone induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and autophagy in chronic myeloid leukemia cells through MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2022
Background Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative tumor originating from hematopoietic stem cells, and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has become a major cause of treatment failure.

Clinical exome sequencing identifies novel CREBBP variants in 18 Chinese Rubinstein–Taybi Syndrome kids with high frequency of polydactyly

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by broad thumbs and halluces, facial dysmorphisms, short stature, and intellectual disability.

Changes in prevalence and perinatal outcomes of congenital hydrocephalus among Chinese newborns: a retrospective analysis based on the hospital-based birth defects surveillance system

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2017
Background Little is known about the epidemiology of congenital hydrocephalus (CH) in China. This study aimed to depict recent changes in CH prevalence and perinatal outcomes of the affected newborns.

Defect branes [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B, 2012
We discuss some general properties of "defect branes", i.e. branes of co-dimension two, in (toroidally compactified) IIA/IIB string theory. In particular, we give a full classification of the supersymmetric defect branes in dimensions 2 < D < 11 as well as their higher-dimensionalstring and M-theory origin as branes and a set of "generalized ...

Development and Validation of the CHDSI Questionnaire: A New Tool for Measuring Disease-Specific Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Defects

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Congenital heart defects (CHD) affect around 1% of the population, making them the most common congenital disease worldwide. Thanks to advances in treatment, over 90% of affected children are able to reach adulthood, shifting ...
