When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Liver fat content, evaluated through semi-quantitative ultrasound measurement, is associated with impaired glucose profiles: a community-based study in Chinese.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We investigated whether the deposition of fat in the liver is associated with glycemic abnormalities and evaluated the contribution of the liver fat content ...

Orientational Effects in the Low Pair Continuum of Aluminium

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We compare the predictions of the dynamic structure factor (DSF) of ambient polycrystalline aluminium from time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the pair continuum regime to recent ultrahigh resolution x‐ray Thomson scattering measurements, collected at the European XFEL.

An Extension of the Invariance Principle for a Class of Differential Equations with Finite Delay

Advances in Difference Equations, 2010
An extension of the uniform invariance principle for ordinary differential equations with finite delay is developed. The uniform invariance principle allows the derivative of the auxiliary scalar function to be positive in some bounded sets of the ...

The left frontal cortex supports reserve in aging by enhancing functional network efficiency

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2018
Background Recent evidence derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies suggests that functional hubs (i.e., highly connected brain regions) are important for mental health.

Measurable residual disease by multicolor flow cytometry in acute myeloid leukemia: A comparison of peripheral blood and bone marrow

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) is well established in bone marrow (BM) samples for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but its use in peripheral blood (PB) remains less developed. We adapted a semi‐automated and well validated MFC‐MRD assay, originally developed for BM, to PB aiming to evaluate ...

Surgical caseload and annual volume influence cartilage treatment strategies in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate how surgeon and clinic volume, along with patient‐, injury‐ and surgery‐related factors, influence cartilage injury management in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods This retrospective cohort study analysed cartilage treatment (debridement, microfracture, other methods or left in situ) in ...

Efficacy of Percutaneous Image-Guided Rupture of Lumbar Facet Cysts: A Retrospective Study

Advances in Orthopedics, 2023
Background. Percutaneous rupture of lumbar facet cysts (LFC) is the only nonsurgical treatment which is effective in directly reducing cysts. However, this is not yet a common procedure, and its effectiveness, including the associated complications ...

Association between walking gait biomechanical changes after anterior cruciate ligament injury or reconstruction and the development of osteoarthritis: A systematic review

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction significantly increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Biomechanical alterations during walking are frequently suggested contributors to OA development. This systematic review aims to determine the association between walking gait biomechanical changes following ACL ...
