A study was made of the files 2292 patients examined by sacco-radiculography with watersoluble contrast medium, of whom 340 had been subjected to a second examination. 284 of these had undergone surgery with good results during the interval between the two examinations. In 56 cases, repeat sacco-radiculography was carried out but no operation performed. In both groups of patients a semiological study was made of the radiological appearances to determine which were the effects of the contrast medium and which could be attributed to the operation. The paper concludes with a discussion of the problem of genuine and false albuminoachies of sacco-radiculography using meglumine locarmate (dimer-X).

Precise control of nanobubble size is essential for optimizing the efficiency and performance of nanobubble applications across diverse fields, such as agriculture, water treatment, and medicine. Producing fine bubbles, including nanobubbles, is commonly achieved by purging gas through porous media, such as ceramic or polymer membranes. Many operational factors and membrane properties can significantly influence nanobubble production and characteristics.

Natural aging is associated with mild memory loss and cognitive decline, and age is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress is a major contributor to both natural aging and neurodegenerative disease, and coincidently, levels of redox active metals such as Fe and Cu are known to be elevated later in life. Recently, a pronounced age-related increase in Cu content has been reported to occur in mice and rats around a vital regulatory brain region, the subventricular zone of lateral ventricles.

Many forms of online political incivility threaten democratic norms, contribute to polarization, and are often directed at women and racial minorities. Recent research shows that online political incivility may come from a minority of users that are just as hostile offline as they are online, meaning that individual differences in personality traits may be an important predictor of online political incivility. Drawing upon a large sample of adults living in Canada = 1725), we examined the association between personality traits and online political incivility using robust measures of psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and the general traits of the HEXACO.

Backgrounds: Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) constitutes the ultimate pathological alteration in nearly all chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) exhibits an alleviating impact on renal fibrosis; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The objective of this study was to explore whether MSC-CM regulates the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Nuclear receptor coactivators (NCOA1), and SRY-related high mobility (Sox9).

Objective: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of multiorgan (heart, lungs, blood vessels) point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in patients with high-risk and medium-to-low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: Clinical data of 92 patients with suspected PE, admitted to Hangzhou TCM Hospital affiliated with Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from July 2021 to June 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. According to hemodynamic status, patients were divided into the high-risk (n=28) and the medium-to-low-risk groups (n=64).
