Article Synopsis
- This study examines shale pore structures using fractal dimension analysis of NMR data under different confining pressures, focusing on nine illite-rich shale samples.
- The analysis reveals that increasing confining pressure leads to greater pore complexity, as indicated by rising fractal dimensions, with Model 2 being more effective in capturing this relationship in shales.
- A strong correlation between fractal dimensions and Archie's cementation exponent m suggests a potential new method for estimating this exponent through pore distribution analysis, beneficial for petroleum exploration and understanding shale structures like those in the Goldwyer Formation.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the use of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for restaging non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after initial treatment, validated by a separate procedure called video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA).* -
- A retrospective analysis of patients showed that EBUS-TBNA has a moderate sensitivity (63.1%) but excellent specificity (100%) for identifying mediastinal disease, while VAMLA confirmed a 100% accuracy when follow-up was needed after a negative EBUS-TBNA result.* -
- The findings suggest EBUS-TBNA should be the first choice for invasive rest
Research on chemsex, the intentional use of certain drugs in sexual contexts by gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM), has been growing in recent years although, even today, much of it focuses on drug use and its consequences, rather than on the sexual and social experiences of users. This study aimed to explore the influence of social support and sexual functioning on the frequency of chemsex and sober sex. A sample of 160 MSM WAS recruited through social media and NGOs.

- The paper explores how children's temperament may relate to the development of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism and ADHD, highlighting temperament traits like strained control as potential precursors.
- It outlines a systematic review protocol aimed at understanding the link between child temperament and various developmental domains in children at risk for NDDs, with a robust literature search strategy.
- The review aims to strengthen scientific evidence for professionals and improve early intervention programs for affected children and families, with no ethical approvals needed since it does not involve primary data.
Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian race. Its course is chronic and progressive, with pulmonary involvement being associated with greater morbidity and mortality. One of the factors most related to worse prognosis in these patients is respiratory exacerbations.
