Open Microsurgical Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment After Failed Endovascular Therapy: An Evaluation of Aneurysm Treatment Frequencies in All Neurovascular Centers Across Austria and the Czech Republic Over 20 Years.

Background And Objectives: Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms has tremendously advanced over the past decades. Nevertheless, aneurysm residual and recurrence remain challenges after embolization. The objective of this study was to elucidate the portion of embolized aneurysms requiring open surgery and evaluate whether newer endovascular treatments have changed the need for open surgery after failed embolization.

Clinical practice of hepatitis B screening in patients starting with chemotherapy: A survey among Dutch oncologists.

Objective: Screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) before chemotherapy is recommended by international guidelines; still, the HBV screening rate is low, and patients remain at risk for HBV reactivation (HBVr). Because HBVr is a serious and preventable condition, we conducted a survey to evaluate the screening behaviour of oncologists in the Netherlands.

Methods: We conducted an anonymous digital survey by email to all practicing medical oncologists.

Analysis of the lipid extraction performance in a cascade process for Scenedesmus almeriensis biorefinery.

Background: Microalgae have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to produce a wide range of valuable compounds. Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) has been demonstrated to effectively disrupt the microalgae cells and facilitate intracellular extraction. To increase the commercial viability of microalgae, the entire biomass should be exploited with different products extracted and valorized according to the biorefinery scheme.

The Influence of an Attachment-Related Stimulus on Oxytocin Reactivity in Poly-Drug Users Undergoing Maintenance Therapy Compared to Healthy Controls.

Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) have been described as a dysfunctional way to compensate for deficiencies in that person's underlying attachment system. Furthermore, the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT), which is a critical component of the neurobiology of the attachment system, has been shown to effectively reduce addictive behavior and therefore has been discussed as a potential medication in SUD treatment. This study investigates variation in peripheral OT plasma levels as a function of exposure to an attachment-related stimulus in SUD patients compared to healthy controls (HCs).

Pulsed Electric Field Treatment Promotes Lipid Extraction on Fresh Oleaginous Yeast DSM 27192.

This study reports on the use of pulsed electric field (PEF) as a pre-treatment step to enhance lipid extraction yield using extraction with ethanol-hexane blend on fresh oleaginous yeast The yeasts were cultivated on nitrogen-depleted condition and had a lipid content of 26.4 ± 4.6% of dry weight.
