Article Abstract

Utilization of functional ultrasound (fUS) in cerebral vascular imaging is gaining popularity among neuroscientists. In this article, we describe a chronic surgical preparation method that allows longitudinal studies and therefore is applicable to a wide range of studies, especially on aging, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. This method can also be used with awake mice; hence, the deleterious effects of anesthesia on neurovascular responses can be avoided. In addition to fUS imaging, this surgical preparation allows researchers to take advantage of common optical imaging methods to acquire complementary datasets to help increase the technical rigor of studies. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Background: Postgraduate education is embracing journal clubs (JCs), which provide a platform for members to critically evaluate research articles and extract evidence-based nursing practice. The implementation of JCs by postgraduate nurses, especially in varied educational contexts such as Egypt, remains underexplored. This study aimed to explore and gain valuable insights into the professional experiences of implementing JCs among postgraduate nursing students in Egypt.

Background: Preoperative treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) before bariatric surgery has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the impact of neoadjuvant treatment with GLP-1 RAs on weight loss and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy for severe obesity.

Method: A retrospective single-center study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2023.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model and construct a graded nomogram to estimate the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without preexisting kidney dysfunction undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Patients undergoing LT between January 2022 and June 2023 were prospectively screened. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage 3.

A digital workflow merging root submergence, immediate dental implant and definitive intermediate abutment placements, and custom healing abutment fabrication to enhance esthetic and biological outcomes in immediate implant procedures is described. The procedure involves a prosthetically driven plan on intraoral and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, digital planning using a specialized software program, the creation of a surgical guide, and the digital design of custom components. A 3-dimensionally (3D) printed healing abutment was produced by following specific protocols.

Breast cancer (BC) represents a major socio-economic challenge worldwide due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite various therapeutic strategies, the heterogeneity of breast cancer and the resistance of tumour cells often lead to treatment failure. Consequently, the use of animal models of BC is crucial for understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the different stages of carcinogenesis and for screening new drugs to assess their efficacy, potential safety and side effects.
