T Clusters Are More Sensitive Than Mean T Change to Detect Early and Longitudinal Changes in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed and Healthy Knees.

Background: Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) often follows anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), leading to early cartilage degradation. Change in mean T fails to capture subject-specific spatial-temporal variations, highlighting the need for robust quantitative methods for early PTOA detection and monitoring.

Purpose/hypothesis: Develop and apply 3D T cluster analysis to ACLR and healthy knees over 2.

Unified space-time description of pulsed twin beams.

This work provides a mathematical derivation of a quasi-stationary (QS) model for multimode parametric down-conversion (PDC), which was presented in Gatti . (Gatti ., .

Protocol for flow cytometry immunophenotyping of human antigen-specific T cells by activation-induced marker and Th1 cytokine detection.

Flow cytometry characterization of antigen-specific polyfunctional T cells is a valuable tool to study adaptive immunity. Here, we present a protocol for flow cytometry immunophenotyping of human antigen-specific T cells by activation-induced marker (AIM) and Th1 cytokine detection. We describe steps for preparing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for stimulation followed by washing and staining PBMCs for flow cytometry.

Efficacy of Midostaurin Combined With Intensive Chemotherapy in Core Binding Factor Leukemia: A Phase II Clinical Trial.

Samples from 34 adult patients newly diagnosed with core binding factor leukemia (CBFL) were collected both at the time of diagnosis and at relapse and were centrally analyzed. Eligible patients received either standard induction CT known as "3 + 7" or an equivalent regimen, according to the recruiting center's policy. Patients who achieved CR or CRi received 3 courses of high-dose ARA-C (Cytarabine) 3000 mg/m every 12 h on days 1, 3, and 5, along with midostaurin at the dose of 50 mg b.

Anatomical variations of the marginal mandibular nerve.

Introduction: The Marginal Mandibular Nerve (MMN), despite being didactically described as being a unique branch of the other branches of the Facial Nerve, has in practice an abundant anatomical variation. Both in relation to its ramifications and the positioning of these in relation to the lower edge of the mandible, as well as its anastomoses along its path, play a fundamental role in the surgical strategy during the approach of this cervicofacial site, and can generate, as underestimated its characteristics, inadvertent injuries and motor consequences to the patient.

Objective: To analyze the types of anatomical variations of the MMN in relation to its position, ramification, and distance from reference points, as well as its incidence that could imply technical difficulties in surgery.
