Female levator ani muscle damage assessment in supine and upright position

Scientific Reports
There is damage in the pelvic floor only visible in upright imaging. This damage have not been yet studied. The aim of this research is to assess the difference in levator ani muscle (LAM) damage in supine and upright position by means of MRI scans ...

Localizing Violations of the Principle of Sufficient Reason—Leibniz on the Modal Status of the PSR

Journal of Modern Philosophy, 2022
The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR)—the principle that everything has a reason—plays a central role in Leibniz’s philosophical system. It is rather difficult, however, to determine what Leibniz’s attitude towards the modal status of the PSR is.

Upright and supine assessment of pelvic floor muscle defects in women with and without prolapse

Scientific Reports
The levator ani muscle (LAM), crucial for pelvic organ support, can develop defects that contribute to pelvic floor disorders (PFD) like pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Factors such as childbirth, aging, and menopause increase the risk of LAM damage.

Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Analysing the support mechanisms of the vaginal ring pessary on supine and upright MRI

Scientific Reports
Vaginal pessaries have been used for millennia to alleviate symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Despite their long-standing use, the success rate of pessary treatment is approximately 60%, and the underlying mechanisms of support are not well ...

What Modals Are: Modal Verbs, Modal Words, and Auxiliary Modals

European Researcher, 2013
The modals are a complicated grammatical phenomenon. As of today, the status of modals is still not precisely defined in the linguistics literature, and they are described under different names: modal verbs, modal words, auxiliary modals, or defective verbs.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Ultrasound contrast microbubbles to predict the microsphere distribution during transarterial radioembolization with holmium microspheres, an in vitro proof of concept study

Drug Delivery
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an established treatment method for non-resectable liver tumors. One of the challenges of the approach is the accurate prediction of the microsphere biodistribution in the liver.
