Genomic sequence, transcriptomic, metabolomic and fatty acid analyses of strain HNA-14 were performed to understand the mechanism of salt tolerance for long-term survival. The results indicated that strain HNA-14 has different osmotic resistance mechanisms for long-term survival and short-term salt stress. The cells mainly synthesized compatible solutes to resist osmotic pressure when cultured under nutrient deficient conditions, while they can slow down the synthesis rate and uptake from the environment when cultured under a nutritionally rich environment. Also, the amounts of branched and unsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane are maintained to a high degree (>50%) to maintain the fluidity of the cell membrane; when the cells are cultured in a high osmotic environment for long-term survival, they may increase the content of branched fatty acids and phosphoric fatty acids to increase the fluidity of the cell membrane to resist the high osmotic pressure.

Background/purpose: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with ACURATE neo2 showed better hemodynamic outcomes by mitigating paravalvular leakage (PVL) compared with ACURATE neo, and revealed promising one-year outcomes in single-arm studies. However, studies comparing the hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of the two valves are still scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the one-year hemodynamic and clinical outcomes between the neo2 and neo.

Background: The difference in survival between sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains controversial.
Objective: To investigate the comparative survival difference between SG and RYGB in adults with morbid obesity.
Setting: A meta-analysis.
Introduction: Urinary incontinence is associated with social isolation, deconditioning, depression, falls and early mortality. It impairs quality of life, even in residents of nursing homes, and, in the community, increases the risk of institutionalisation. Care focused on the preservation of dignity during intimate care is important in the care of older adults.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become increasingly prevalent for treating asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study compares the early and late outcomes between EVAR and open aneurysm repair (OAR) in asymptomatic AAA patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted involving 564 patients (445 EVAR, 119 OAR) who underwent AAA repair from January 2010 to June 2022.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with variable outcomes ranging from spontaneous remission to high-risk cases often leading to relapse or refractory disease. Approximately 50% of patients with NB have high-risk features, often experiencing relapse or refractory disease despite intensive treatments and the prognosis remains poor, with long-term event-free survival (EFS) rates below 10%,Radioactive iodine-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (¹³¹I-mIBG) therapy, leveraging NB cells' radiosensitivity and expression of the norepinephrine transporter (NET), has shown promise in treating relapsed or refractory NB. Since 1985, ¹³¹I-mIBG has been studied to determine the maximum tolerated dose and side effects, with recent trials exploring its use in front-line treatment.
