Hypnosis Sedation Used in Breast Oncologic Surgery Significantly Decreases Perioperative Inflammatory Reaction.

Background: Hypnosis sedation has recently been used for anesthesia in breast oncologic surgery.

Methods: Between January 2017 and October 2019, 284 patients from our Breast Clinic (Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Université Catholique de Louvain) and from the Jolimont Hospital were prospectively included in an interventional non-randomized study approved by our two local ethics committees and registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03330117).

Rubisco activity and activation state dictate photorespiratory plasticity in Betula papyrifera acclimated to future climate conditions.

Plant metabolism faces a challenge of investing enough enzymatic capacity to a pathway without overinvestment. As it takes energy and resources to build, operate, and maintain enzymes, there are benefits and drawbacks to accurately matching capacity to the pathway influx. The relationship between functional capacity and physiological load could be explained through symmorphosis, which would quantitatively match enzymatic capacity to pathway influx.

CSF1-dependent macrophage support matrisome and epithelial stress-induced keratin remodeling in Eosinophilic esophagitis.

Atopic diseases such as Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) often progress into fibrosis (FS-EoE), compromising organ function with limited targeted treatment options. Mechanistic understanding of FS-EoE progression is confounded by the lack of preclinical models and the heavy focus of research on eosinophils themselves. We found that macrophage accumulation precedes esophageal fibrosis in FS-EoE patients.

Complete quasilinear model for the acceleration-driven lower hybrid drift instability and a computational assessment of its validity.

A complete quasilinear model is derived for the electrostatic acceleration-driven lower hybrid drift instability in a uniform two-species low-beta plasma in which current is perpendicular to the background magnetic field. The model consists of coupled nonlinear velocity space diffusion equations for the volume-averaged ion and electron distribution functions. Each species' diffusion coefficient depends on a time-evolving spectral density of the electric-field energy per unit volume and a time-evolving dispersion relation.
