The Association of Intraoperative driving pressure with postoperative pulmonary complications in open versus closed abdominal surgery patients - a posthoc propensity score-weighted cohort analysis of the LAS VEGAS study.
(BMC, 2021-03-19)BACKGROUND: It is uncertain whether the association of the intraoperative driving pressure (ΔP) with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) depends on the surgical approach during abdominal surgery. Our primary ... -
Isotope-Only Localization for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy - Medium-Term Oncological Outcomes.
<h4>Aims</h4>Isotope and blue dye dual localization in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) gives localization rates of over 98% and is the recommended technique. However blue dye risks a range of adverse reactions. Since ... -

Aspirin in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial.
<h4>Background</h4>Aspirin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 on the basis of its anti-thrombotic properties. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin in patients admitted to hospital with ... -
Proteome-scale mapping of binding sites in the unstructured regions of the human proteome.
(WILEY, 2022-01-01)Specific protein-protein interactions are central to all processes that underlie cell physiology. Numerous studies have together identified hundreds of thousands of human protein-protein interactions. However, many ... -
EPEC-induced activation of the Ca2+ transporter TRPV2 leads to pyroptotic cell death.
(WILEY, 2022-02-01)The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) type III secretion system effector Tir, which mediates intimate bacterial attachment to epithelial cells, also triggers Ca2+ influx followed by LPS entry and caspase-4-dependent ... -
