Soil mite communities (Acari, Mesostigmata) in pure stands on post-agricultural lands: does season matter?

Post-agricultural land differs from typical forest land in physical, chemical and biological features. In addition, the environment of this land type is determined, among other things, by the introduced tree species. These differences may be revealed by the biodiversity and abundance of the soil fauna.

Cerebrolysin in Patients Diagnosed with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage-The Results of an Observational Cohort Study.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high mortality and a high level of disability. Progress in surgical and endovascular techniques has lowered the mortality rate in patients with SAH. However, many patients are left with neurological impairment.

Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed Parts and Their Injection Molded Alternatives Subjected to Environmental Aging.

Additive manufacturing is the technology used in medical, industrial, or lifestyle applications. The scientific literature include works reporting various manufacturing parameters' influence on changes in additive manufacturing components' mechanical behavior, especially with fused filament fabrication (FFF). The changes in mechanical strength and toughness of FFF compared to injection molding parts were studied.

Effect of lag screw on stability of first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis with medial plate.

Background: First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-1) arthrodesis is a commonly performed procedure in the treatment of disorders of the great toe. Since the incidence of revision after MTP-1 joint arthrodesis is not insignificant, a medial approach with a medially positioned locking plate has been proposed as a new technique. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the application of a lag screw on the stability and strength of first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis with medial plate.

The Effects of Neuromonitoring and Cerebrolysin Administration on Outcomes in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury-An Interventional Pilot Study.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and an important burden to the worldwide healthcare system and society. There is a lack of guidelines for types of monitoring or neuroprotective therapy. The aim of this pilot study was to assess its feasibility and, furthermore, to evaluate the impact of Cerebrolysin on the following clinical outcomes: length of stay, Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and mortality.
