ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Wild ramification and K(pi, 1) spaces
We prove that every connected affine scheme of positive characteristic is a K(pi, 1) space for the etale topology. The main ingredient is the special case of the affine space over a field k. This is dealt with by induction on n, using a key "Bertini-type"' statement regarding the wild ramification of l-adic local systems on affine spaces, which might ...

Real $K(\pi,1)$ arrangements from finite root systems [PDF]
The author studies the complement of certain classes of subspace arrangements in real \(n\)-space that are invariant under the action of \(S_n\) by permuting the coordinates and whose subspaces are defined by equality of certain coordinates. Such arrangements are called ``orbit arrangements'' and were introduced by \textit{A.

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

MCSim: A Multi-access Edge Computing Mobile CrowdSensing simulator
This paper introduces MCSim, a modular and extensible simulator designed to support the planning and evaluation of Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS) campaigns in urban environments. MCSim integrates a useful approximation of urban mobility patterns based on real-

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

α1Proteinase inhibitor regulates CD4+ lymphocyte levels and is rate limiting in HIV-1 disease. [PDF]
BackgroundThe regulation of adult stem cell migration through human hematopoietic tissue involves the chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 (CD184). In addition, human leukocyte elastase (HLE) plays a key role.
