Persuasion plays a crucial role in human communication. Yet, convincing someone to change their mind is often challenging. Here, we demonstrate that a subtle linguistic device, generic-you (i.

Geologic hydrogen could be a low-carbon primary energy resource; however, the magnitude of Earth's subsurface endowment has not yet been assessed. Knowledge of the occurrence and behavior of natural hydrogen on Earth has been combined with information from geologic analogs to construct a mass balance model to predict the resource potential. Given the associated uncertainty, stochastic model results predict a wide range of values for the potential in-place hydrogen resource [10 to 10 million metric tons (Mt)] with the most probable value of ~5.

Objective: To characterize a large cohort of patients undergoing robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty (RU-BMG), determine the technique's durability, and assess the impact of patient- and disease-specific factors on outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of a multi-institutional database of robotic ureteral reconstruction for patients undergoing RU-BMG. Surgical success was defined as freedom from additional interventions for recurrent ureteral stenosis, such as stent placement, balloon dilation, or further attempts at reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated changes in the characteristics of patients undergoing heart surgeries, specifically CABG and valve interventions, over a 14-year period (2010-2023).
  • It analyzed trends in patient age, sex, and risk profiles using data from electronic health records, revealing a decrease in average age and mean Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) scores for CABG and aortic valve replacement (AVR).
  • The findings suggest that advancements in transcatheter technologies and evolving clinical guidelines have influenced the shifting demographics and risk factors of patients referred for surgical interventions in cardiac care.
