Article Synopsis
- The study examined the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and its impact on perioperative complications.* -
- Out of 877 patients screened, 15% were found to have DM, with 25% being undiagnosed prior to surgery; however, DM was not significantly linked to increased in-hospital complications or mortality rates.* -
- Post-analysis suggested that newly diagnosed DM patients had a higher risk of organ-related complications, indicating the importance of early detection before surgery.*
Likelihood-based interactive local docking into cryo-EM maps in ChimeraX.
Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol
August 2024
The interpretation of cryo-EM maps often includes the docking of known or predicted structures of the components, which is particularly useful when the map resolution is worse than 4 Å. Although it can be effective to search the entire map to find the best placement of a component, the process can be slow when the maps are large. However, frequently there is a well-founded hypothesis about where particular components are located.

Earlybird, an easy-to-place ultrasound Doppler device, has shown comparable accuracy to duplex ultrasound. In this study, we compared volume flow measurements obtained with duplex ultrasound and the dilution technique to an enhanced earlybird device, featuring a dual Doppler probe system, eliminating the requirement for a known insonation angle.

Primarily developed to increase the functionality of prosthetic limbs, these surgical procedures have also been found to reduce postamputation neuropathic pain. Today, some of these procedures are performed more frequently for the management and prevention of postamputation pain than for prosthetic fitting, indicating a significant need for effective solutions to postamputation pain.

- The field of prosthetics has advanced significantly in the last decade, especially in surgical techniques that enhance limb functionality and alleviate neuropathic pain in amputees.
- Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) is a key surgical method that reroutes severed nerves to reduce postamputation pain and improve the control of prosthetic limbs, demonstrating effectiveness in preventing painful neuromas.
- This article outlines the TMR procedure in detail to support an international clinical trial that will assess its efficacy alongside two other surgical techniques for postamputation pain management across nine clinics in seven countries.
