... If human bones are involved, further examination procedures follow, regarding the postmortem interval (PMI) [5][6][7][8][9][10], pre-or peri-mortem traces of injury or postmortem defects [11][12][13] and findings indicating or assuring identity [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The results of the examination should be interpreted and presented in a written report to support the authorities in their further investigations [3,22]. ...

... and death (OR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.14-0.38), compared to those receiving no treatment [161]. In another study, COVID-19 patients receiving RAS inhibitors (hazard regression (HR) = 0.499, 95% CI: 0.325-0.767) ...

... It is well-known that platelets are activated in various infectious and non-infectious pathological conditions, such as acute myocardial infarction (35), cerebrovascular disease (36), and diabetes mellitus (37). Similar to the aberrant neutrophil behaviour observed in sepsis, platelet activation plays a significant role in these conditions. ...

... The pipeline of GM measurement was summarized as follows: (1) nonuniform field correction; (2) removal of the skull and other nonbrain tissues; (3) registration with brain atlas; (4) intensity normalization; (5) WM segmentation; (6) filling of brain surface; (7) reconstruction of whole brain; and (8) measurement of cortical characteristics of brain regions. [14][15][16] Especially, intensity inhomogeneity in brain MR images increases the difficulties in tissue segmentation. Therefore, several approaches have been proposed in the literature such as a proposed automatic normalization method using statistical features. ...

... Parotid massages, aromatherapy, vitamin E, selenium, and bethanechol showed a significant reduction in the salivary gland dysfunction induced from the 131 I treatment (2960-7890 MBq) [43]. Additionally, keratinocyte growth factor-1 (KGF-1) (100 µg/1 mL PBS) restored saliva homeostasis and reduced the 131 I-induced (0.01 mCi/g) cell apoptosis in the mice [90]. A marker of lipid peroxidation, 8-Epi-PGF 2α, is the outcome of free radical-mediated arachidonic acid peroxidation, and the effect of high-activity treatment (2960 or 7400 MBq) is significantly higher and longer in length than that of low-activity treatment (185 or 740 MBq), with a dose-dependent oxidative damage in vivo [107]. ...

... Four studies linked fatigue in pwRRMS to thalamic atrophy (102,105,123,134) and one to lesion load in the thalamus (113). Moreover, three studies associated fatigue with cerebellar atrophy (105,131,134) and three with basal ganglia structures (100,102,105). ...

... Albert et al. reported 46% of positive cultures for anaerobes in 61 patients undergoing lumbar discectomy, of which 80% had Modic type 1 changes [15]. Other studies corroborate these findings, with high identification rates for Cutibacterium acnes, an anaerobic and aerotolerant pathogen that is bacillus-shaped, stained by the Gram method, pleomorphic, non-spore-forming, and a biofilm producer [11,[16][17][18][19][20]. Rollason et al. isolated strains of this bacterium from the LIVD of 64 patients, revealing the presence of genotypic profiles distinct from those found in the skin, suggesting that specific variants would be related to LBP [21]. ...

... The injury to the ALL was also associated with a positive pivot shift test. In 2020, (Shekari et al., 2020) enrolled 198 patients with ACL tears, all of whom had ALLs visible under US imaging. A total of 110 patients (55.6%) were found to have impaired ALLs. ...

... Возможности УС при переломах костей свода черепа. Высокая диагностическая точность УС в диагностике переломов костей свода черепа у детей подтверждена многими исследованиями [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. В 2022 г. ...

... Irradiation caused inflammation and severe damage in both the duodenum and jejunum. However, pre-treatment with metformin showed a remarkable amelioration of these damages, especially for villi shortening and epithelial injury [85]. Further experiments need to dissect the possible protective effects of metformin against the gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapy drugs. ...
