A large-scale galaxy structure atz = 2.02 associated with the radio galaxy MRC 0156-252 [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013
We present the spectroscopic confirmation of a structure of galaxies surrounding the radio galaxy MRC0156-252 at z = 2.02. The structure was initially discovered as an overdensity of both near-infrared selected z > 1.6 and mid-infrared selected z > 1.2 galaxy candidates.

Integration of Serum Neurofilament Light Chain and Cortical Dysfunction Improves Diagnostic Accuracy in ALS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether integration of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) and cortical dysfunction improves diagnostic accuracy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) when applied alongside the Gold Coast criteria (GCC). Methods In this prospective study, 148 participants with suspected ALS were recruited (101 ALS and 47 with ALS ...

MRC chronic Dyspnea Scale: Relationships with cardiopulmonary exercise testing and 6-minute walk test in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients: a prospective study [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2010
Abstract Background Exertional dyspnea is the most prominent and disabling feature in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The Medical Research Chronic (MRC) chronic dyspnea score as well as physiological measurements obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) are shown ...

Vascular Disease, Non‐Steroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs and Risk of Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives A history of vascular disease has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, but this may be due to reverse causation. In addition, non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are thought to reduce Parkinson's disease risk, but evidence is inconsistent and confounding by prior vascular disease is possible ...

Responsiveness to Change of 5-point MRC scale, Endurance and Functional Evaluation for Assessing Myositis in Daily Clinical Practice

Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 2019
Background: Manual muscle testing has been widely used for the evaluation of muscle strength in myositis, yet less attention has been devoted to the evaluation of muscle function and endurance. Objective: Our objective was therefore to compare the responsiveness to change of muscle strength, endurance and functional testing following induction therapy ...

S168 Evaluation of the MRC dyspnoea scale and a novel extended version in prediction of in-hospital death and early readmission in acute exacerbations of COPD [PDF]

Thorax, 2010
Introduction and objectives Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) requiring hospitalisation are associated with substantial in-hospital mortality and frequent readmissions. The MRC Dyspnoea Scale (MRCD) is a strong predictor of mortality in stable disease and may predict in-hospital mortality in AECOPD.1 We investigated the relative value, for ...

Rethinking Charge Transport and Recombination in Donor‐Diluted Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic solar cells with 1–45% PM6 content in Y12 were studied to link structure and charge dynamics to performance. The conductivity follows a 3D percolation model without a sharp threshold. Donor dilution preserves the photogeneration yield, but limits the fill factor due to transport resistance losses.

Ultrathin Hydrogel Membranes Inspired by Soap Films Enable Physiologically Relevant Breathing Lung Models

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A soap‐film inspired strategy enables the fabrication of ultrathin yet robust GelMA‐PAAm membranes for breathing lung culture. The hydrogel membrane supports long‐term cyclic deformation under air‐liquid interface conditions, enabling physiologically relevant breathing motions of engineered lung tissue culture. ABSTRACT Breathing continuously stretches
