Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Drainage With Lumen-apposing Metal Stent versus Plastic Stent for the Treatment of Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Pancreatic pseudocyst (PP), following acute or chronic pancreatitis, may become symptomatic or persist beyond 6–8 weeks, requiring drainage. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided drainage (EUS‐D) is the preferred method, using double pigtail plastic stents (DPPS) or self‐expandable metallic stents (SEMS), such as lumen‐apposing metal ...

Covered Self-Expanding Metal Stents Versus Multiple Plastic Stents in Treating Biliary Strictures Post-Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Anastomotic biliary strictures are a common complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (post‐OLT), impacting morbidity and graft survival. This meta‐analysis evaluates the efficacy, safety, and cost‐effectiveness of covered self‐expanding metal stents (cSEMS) versus multiple plastic stents (MPS) for treating post‐OLT ...

Evidence of the presence of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV in human sperm and its involvement in motility regulation [PDF]
The mechanisms involved in the regulation of mammalian sperm motility are not well understood. Calcium ions (Ca(2+)) have been suggested to play a key role in the maintenance of motility; nevertheless, how Ca(2+) modulates this process has not yet been ...

Fast computation of multi-scale combustion systems [PDF]
In the present work, we illustrate the process of constructing a simplified model for complex multi-scale combustion systems. To this end, reduced models of homogeneous ideal gas mixtures of methane and air are first obtained by the novel Relaxation ...

Human Mycotoxin Biomonitoring: Conclusive remarks on direct or indirect assessment of urinary deoxynivalenol [PDF]
Deoxynivalenol is one of the most ubiquitous mycotoxins in the Western diet through its presence in cereals and cereal products. A vast amount of studies indicate the worrying level of exposure to this toxin, while even high percentages of the population

Le maschere dell’artista. Visconti interprete della décadence
Visconti – always formally related to the decadent movement, whereas we suggest using the more appropriate term of décadence as it brings back within its semantic field the Nietzschean notion of artificiality – carries on a meta-linguistic experience ...
