Maps of the magnetic field at the Sun's surface are commonly used as boundary conditions in space-weather modeling. However, continuous observations are only available from the Earth-facing part of the Sun's surface. One commonly used approach to mitigate the lack of far-side information is to apply a surface flux transport (SFT) model to model the evolution of the magnetic field as the Sun rotates.

In this study, we investigated the association of OSA risk, serum biomarkers for central nervous ischemia (S100B and NSE), and POD.
Methods: After research ethics approval, patients completed the STOP BANG assessment before undergoing elective surgery.
Article Synopsis
- NaV1.8 and NaV1.9 are sodium channels crucial for pain signaling in sensory neurons, affecting how pain stimuli are processed and transmitted.
- Mutations in the genes encoding these channels (SCN10A and SCN11A) can lead to various pain-related disorders, including small fiber neuropathy and congenital insensitivity to pain.
- Researchers created double knockout mice to study the effects of losing both sodium channels, finding moderate pain behavior impairment and valuable insights for exploring human pain-related genetic variants.
There are currently 1.8 million people in Germany affected by dementia. Despite advances in research and new treatments, there is no cure for most cases of dementia.
