Recently, Debruyne and Tenenbaum proved asymptotic formulas for the number of partitions with parts in ( ) and good analytic properties of the corresponding zeta function, generalizing work of Meinardus. In this paper, we extend their work to prove asymptotic formulas if is a multiset of integers and the zeta function has multiple poles. In particular, our results imply an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible representations of degree of .

Purpose: Some patients with spinal muscular atrophy and scoliosis require CT guidance during injections of nusinersen. The radiation applied to the operator in such procedures becomes an important issue in terms of staff health and safety. The aim of the study was to assess the operator's radiation exposure during CT-guided nusinersen injections in patients with spinal muscular atrophy and scoliosis.

Safety behaviors are core features of anxiety-related disorders, specifically involving behaviors that do not completely terminate aversive situations, but rather prevent the risk of the occurrence of the expected aversive outcome (US). This study aimed to examine the dynamics of defensive reactivity associated with safety behaviors, both before and after their execution, and to investigate changes in these reactions following extensive training. Twenty-four healthy participants underwent a US-avoidance task as an experimental analog to model safety behavior, requiring a button press to avoid the US without terminating the associated warning cue (CS).

Purpose: Cryoablation is one of the methods of treating patients with renal cancer with curative intent. This procedure is not widely available in Poland due to the lack of reimbursement until April 2023. The purpose of this study is to present the results of the first experiences in cryoablation of renal cell carcinoma in Poland.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the significance of cardiac troponin (cTn) levels in predicting mortality in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), analyzing data from the International Takotsubo Registry.
  • It identifies that a cTn increase greater than 28.8 times the upper reference limit signals clinically relevant myocardial injury, correlating with a higher risk of mortality over 5 years (adjusted HR 1.58).
  • The findings enhance understanding of patient risk profiles in TTS, emphasizing the need for increased monitoring and follow-up for those with significant troponin elevations.
