The authors have worked out a method of evaluation of residual function of the hand. The method is based on successful on successful 25 types of grasping and functional positions which are most commonly occurring in every-day life of correspond to certain professional skills. This method has been used in the examination of 60 patients before surgical treatment, after reconstructive interventions and subsequent prosthetics. The examination has demonstrated that surgical treatment of prosthetics increased the residual function of the hand on the average to 50%. Surgical treatment combined with prosthetics restores the functional abilities of the hand to 3/4 of the normal condition.

Variable power functional dilution adjustment of spot urine.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Praxis Dr.Carmine, Etzelstrasse 21, Pfaeffikon SZ, 8808, Switzerland.

Spot-urinary biomarkers are crucial in medical, epidemiological, and environmental studies, but their variability due to hydration levels requires precise dilution adjustments. Traditional methods, like conventional creatinine correction (CCRC), are limited in compensating for variations in urine concentration, causing substantial inconsistencies, particularly at the extremes of the diuresis spectrum. While restricting the creatinine (CRN) range to 0.

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) emerge as a promising cancer immunotherapy. However, the temporal impact on tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment, and the nature of anti-tumor immunity post-therapy remain largely unclear. Here we report that CD4 T cells are required for durable tumor control in syngeneic murine models of glioblastoma multiforme after treatment with an oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) engineered to express IL-12.

Purpose: Residual neuromuscular blockade can impair postoperative respiratory mechanics, promoting hypoxemia and pulmonary complications. Sugammadex, with its unique mechanism of action, may offer a more effective reversal of neuromuscular blockade and respiratory function than neostigmine. We sought to test the primary hypothesis that children undergoing noncardiac surgery exhibit better initial recovery oxygenation when administered sugammadex than those administered neostigmine.
