A low threshold to ECG-gated repeat CTA reduces the risk of false-positive diagnosis of type A dissection in interhospital referrals: a case series s…

Angela Kornberger,1 Iris Burck,2 Hazem El Beyrouti,1 Nancy Halloum,1 Andres Beiras-Fernandez,1 Christian-Friedrich Vahl1 1Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, University Hospital of Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany; 2Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital of Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany Background: False-positive diagnosis of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAD) on computed tomography angiography (CTA) is still an issue and may lead to substantial consequences. Given that electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CTA provides greater diagnostic safety, it may be assumed that interhospital referral…
Listado de síntomas breve (short checklist of symptoms) in Argentinean adults: Psychometric study of its main clinical scales
2016
The main objective of this research was studying the psychometric properties of the Listado de síntomas breve (short checklist of symptoms; LSB-50) in a sample of 994 Argentinean adults (49.9% females; 50.1% males). Mean age was 40.66 years (standard deviation=17.01; Min=18; Max=89). This screening test has seven main clinical scales: hypersensitivity, obsessive-compulsive, anxiety, hostility, somatization, depression, and sleep disturbance. Pearson correlations indicated that all scales had positive and mostly moderate associations. The second order confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for a hierarchical model where all scales loaded in one major factor. Internal consistency by C…
Optimizing Nanopore-based microbiome sequencing for characterizing biotechnologically-relevant ecosystems
2022
La secuenciación de siguiente generación (NGS) ha cambiado completamente la manera en la que estudiamos el mundo microbiano. A lo largo de los últimos años, las plataformas Illumina han sido las más usadas para secuenciar ADN. No obstante, la secuenciación por nanoporos, un nuevo método impulsado por Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), está incrementando gradualmente su popularidad dadas sus múltiples ventajas sobre las plataformas NGS. Estas ventajas incluyen la portabilidad y la capacidad para generar secuencias largas en tiempo real. A pesar de estos avances, la adopción de la secuenciación ONT se ha visto limitada por la elevada tasa de error asociada a esta tecnología en comparación co…

Public note-taking on a digital platform as a workplace practice
2023
Unlike traditional note-taking with pen and paper, in which the note-taking process is only partially accessible to the co-participants, note-taking in the digitalized workplace may be done publicly, so that both the content of notes and the process of writing them are observable to the co-participants. Using multimodally oriented conversation analysis, this study focused on public note-taking in interaction sequences where the facilitator of a workplace project records the results of a workshop discussion on a digital platform. The analysis revealed that while the facilitator was entitled to decide which portions of talk are recorded, the affordances of digital technology, its publicness …
Increasing the Astrophysical Reach of the Advanced Virgo Detector via the Application of Squeezed Vacuum States of Light
2019
Current interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are limited by quantum noise over a wide range of their measurement bandwidth. One method to overcome the quantum limit is the injection of squeezed vacuum states of light into the interferometer's dark port. Here, we report on the successful application of this quantum technology to improve the shot noise limited sensitivity of the Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detector. A sensitivity enhancement of up to 3.2±0.1 dB beyond the shot noise limit is achieved. This nonclassical improvement corresponds to a 5%-8% increase of the binary neutron star horizon. The squeezing injection was fully automated and over the first 5 months of the thi…

Heavy ions at the Future Circular Collider
2016
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study is aimed at assessing the physics potential and the technical feasibility of a new collider with centre-of-mass energies, in the hadron-hadron collision mode, seven times larger than the nominal LHC energies. Operating such machine with heavy ions is an option that is being considered in the accelerator design studies. It would provide, for example, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 39 and 63 TeV, respectively, per nucleon-nucleon collision, with integrated luminosities above 30 nb^-1 per month for Pb-Pb. This is a report by the working group on heavy-ion physics of the FCC Study. First ideas on the physics opportunities with heavy ions at th…
Taikoja ja tenhoa Oxfordissa: raportti Living in a Magical World: Inner Lives -konferenssista ja Spellbound-näyttelystä
2018
Oxfordissa pidettiin 17.–19. syyskuuta kuluvan vuoden merkittävin magian, esoteeristen alojen ja taikauskon tutkimuksen kansainvälinen konferenssi Living in a Magical World: Inner Lives, 1300–1900. Samaan aikaan Oxfordin Ashmolean Museumissa pyörii yhteistyössä konferenssijärjestäjien kanssa kuratoitu näyttely Spellbound. Magic, Ritual, Witchcraft (31.8.2018 – 6.1.2019), jossa on esillä laaja valikoima magian ja taikauskon historiaa keskiajalta 1900-luvulle. Lyhyt reportaasi arvioi sekä konferenssin että näyttelyn antia.
A common biological basis of obesity and nicotine addiction
2013
Contains fulltext : 128630.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Smoking influences body weight such that smokers weigh less than non-smokers and smoking cessation often leads to weight increase. The relationship between body weight and smoking is partly explained by the effect of nicotine on appetite and metabolism. However, the brain reward system is involved in the control of the intake of both food and tobacco. We evaluated the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting body mass index (BMI) on smoking behavior, and tested the 32 SNPs identified in a meta-analysis for association with two smoking phenotypes, smoking initiation (SI) and the number of cigarettes smoked …
