Unlabelled: Intoduction and aim: The aim of the study was to compare the resistance to pressure of stapled and manually handsewn intestinal suture lines on in vitro pig intestine model.
Method: We performed different types of stapled and manual sutures and the pressure level was measured using a differential pressure manometer.
Results: Although the hand-sewn end-to-end suture turned out to be the most resistant to pressure, statistical analysis revealed no significant differences compared to stapled suture (p = 0.49). In stump closure techniques, we observed a statistically high significance in resistance to pressure in the favour of manual stump closure (p = 0.004).Regarding side-to-side sutures we did not find any statistically significant differences in resistance to pressure between the techniques (p = 0.06).
Conclusion: We can conclude that regarding the stump closure, the most resistant to pressure is the hand-sewn procedure, but in the other types of anastomosis, no significant differences was found between the stapled and hand-sewn techniques. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(42): 1674-1680.

Animals alter their behavior in response to changes in the environment. Upon encountering hyperosmotic conditions, the nematode worm initiates avoidance and cessation of egg-laying behavior. While the sensory pathway for osmotic avoidance is well-understood, less is known about how egg laying is inhibited.

Treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) is defined by consistently elevated blood pressure readings unresponsive to medical management. In clinical practice, it poses a significant challenge due to the intertwining variables that may cause the issue to persist such as lifestyle, genetics, and other comorbidities, as opposed to simple medication non-adherence. This report describes the case of a 68-year-old female patient presenting for a routine follow-up with persistently elevated ambulatory blood pressure readings.

The One Health approach musters growing concerns about antimicrobial resistance due to the increased use of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture, with all of its consequences for human, livestock, and environmental health. In this perspective, we explore the current knowledge on how interactions at different levels of biological organization, from genetic to ecological interactions, affect the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. We discuss their role in different contexts, from natural systems with weak selection, to human-influenced environments that impose a strong pressure toward antimicrobial resistance evolution.

Vanadium dioxide (VO) is a phase transition material that undergoes semiconductor-to-metal transition at the temperature of about 68 °C. This extraordinary feature triggered intensive research focused on the controlled synthesis of VO. In this study, we introduce and investigate an original linker- and solvent-free strategy enabling the production of highly porous VO nanoparticle-based films.

Applying real-world driving emissions (RDE) data to machine learning, this study investigated vehicular emission characteristics and reduction strategies in Tianjin and Xining, two cities at different altitudes. Significant differences in CO₂ and particulate number (PN) emissions were observed, primarily due to altitude-induced changes in air pressure, affecting air resistance and combustion efficiency. Driving conditions and emission standards were identified as key factors influencing emissions, with road grade and air pressure playing crucial roles at high altitudes.
