Clinical Impact and Safety of Non-Target Punctures (NTP) during Portal Vein Access in TIPS Procedure [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2023 Background: Although non-target puncture (NPT)-related complications are well known to clinicians performing TIPS, there is no NTP-focused study to assess the true clinical sequalae of NTP-related complications. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the

Conformal blocks on a 2-sphere with indistinguishable punctures and implications on black hole entropy [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2016 The dimensionality of the Hilbert space of a Chern–Simons theory on a 3-fold, in the presence of Wilson lines carrying spin representations, had been counted by using its link with the Wess–Zumino theory, with level k, on the 2-sphere with points (to be ...

Efficiency of 6- and 12-punctures biopsies to detect prostate cancer in patients with PSA< 10 ng/mL and normal digital rectal examination [PDF]
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2003 OBJECTIVE: Establish the efficiency of 6- and 12-punctures transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsies in low risk patients for prostate cancer. Six-punctures (sextant) biopsies were compared to 12-punctures biopsies, assessing which is the best ...

Optimal Number of Needle Punctures in EUS-FNA/B with ROSE for Solid Pancreatic Lesions [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground and Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (FNA/B) is widely used for solid pancreatic lesions; however, the optimal number of needle punctures required to achieve high diagnostic accuracy remains ...

New punctures for six-dimensional compactifications
Journal of High Energy PhysicsSix-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) give rise to four-dimensional (4d) ones when compactified on Riemann surfaces. In the N = 2 0 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(2,0\right) $$ case, this yields the famous class S family. For N = 1 0 $$ \mathcal{N}=

Aspects of irregular punctures via holography
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We present new families of AdS 5 solutions in M-theory preserving 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetry. We perform a systematic analysis of holographic observables for these solutions, providing evidence for an interpretation in terms of 4d ...

Punctures for theories of class S Γ $$ {\mathcal{S}}_{\varGamma } $$ [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 With the aim of understanding compactifications of 6D superconformal field theories to four dimensions, we study punctures for theories of class S Γ $$ {\mathcal{S}}_{\varGamma } $$ .

The super period matrix with Ramond punctures in the supergravity formulation [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2015 In a very recent preprint, Witten showed how to construct a g|r×g|r super period matrix for super Riemann surfaces of genus g with 2r Ramond punctures, which is symmetric in the Z2 graded sense.

Molecular-genetic Method for Fast Direct Detection of Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin Resistance in Blood Cultures and Punctures [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2019 Background: Invasive infections caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRSA/MRSCoN) require fast, adequate treatment. The aim of this study was to develop a faster protocol for direct ...
