Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by a high familial incidence of various malignancies. It results from pathogenic/likely pathogenic heterozygous constitutional variants of the TP53 gene. Due to impaired DNA damage repair, conventional cytotoxic therapies or radiotherapy should be avoided whenever feasible to mitigate the high incidence of treatment-related secondary malignancies in these patients.

On-surface mass transport is the key process determining the kinetics and dynamics of on-surface reactions, including the formation of nanostructures, catalysis, or surface cleaning. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) localized on a majority of surfaces dramatically change their properties and act as reactants in many surface reactions. However, the fundamental question "How far and how fast can the molecules travel on the surface to react?" remains open.

Background: This prospective study was aimed at comparing phase contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (PC-CMR) with 2D transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for determining potential candidature for transcatheter closure in ostium secundum ASD (OS-ASD) patients. We included consecutive adult patients with OS-ASD for the evaluation of feasibility for transcatheter closure using 2D-TEE and PC-CMR over a period of 2 years. Patients who fulfilled the conventional criteria for transcatheter closure, i.

Article Synopsis
  • The redox potential in living cells is crucial for maintaining physiological processes, influenced by antioxidants, amino acids, and proteins that handle reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
  • Despite numerous studies supporting the regulatory role of free radicals, some still argue they only have harmful effects.
  • The paper highlights the therapeutic potential of controlled oxidative stress, critiques common antioxidant supplements, and emphasizes the connection between redox processes and innate immunity and fever regulation.
