Background: Bowel volume loss during anus-preserving surgery (APS) may result in low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). We conducted this prospective observational cohort study to measure the incidence of LARS after surgery and evaluate the relationship between bowel volume loss and bowel function. Methods: Patients with R0 resectable rectal cancer who consented to several bowel function surveys through telephone interviews after the operation were included. Enrolled patients underwent standard APS for rectal cancer, and three length indexes, viz. length of excised bowel, length of the distal

Background: Psychological maltreatment is linked to negative developmental outcomes in adolescents. It includes psychological abuse (PA) and psychological neglect (PN), which are commonly studied as a pair. This study applied the dimensional model of adversity and psychopathology (DMAP), which conceptualises abuse as a threatening experience involving harm or the threat of harm that primarily impairs social-emotional processing, such as emotion regulation, while it views neglect as deprivation or absence of parental care that predominantly affects cognitive functioning, such as working memory.

Repetitive sensory stimulation of the fingertip induces Hebbian plasticity in the sensorimotor cortex that benefits the tactile and motor behavior of the hand in healthy younger adults, older adults, and patients. To use this method outside the laboratory, robust and portable stimulation systems are needed that allow prolonged stimulation phases over several hours without compromising on signal intensity or personal mobility. Here, we introduce two stimulation gloves that apply finger- and frequency-specific mechanical stimulation to individual fingertips over prolonged periods. The stimulator

Water soaking is a common disorder of field-grown strawberries, and its incidence can be severe. Calcium (Ca) sprays reduce susceptibility to water soaking. Vascular import of Ca to developing strawberry fruit decreases during development as a result of progressive xylem dysfunction. Calcium sprays can raise Ca levels in late-stage strawberry fruit. The objective of this study was to quantify Ca uptake through the fruit skin. Submerging fruit in calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions increased both the mass of Ca per fruit and the mass of Ca per fruit dry mass. There was no effect of CaCl2 solutio

We analyzed the expression of the clock genes, BMAL1 and NR1D1, in 318 dead hearts with defined time of death by real-time RT-PCR. For estimating the time of death, we chose two parameters, the NR1D1/BMAL1 ratio and BMAL1/NR1D1 ratio for morning and evening deaths, respectively. The NR1D1/BMAL1 ratio was significantly higher in morning deaths and the BMAL1/NR1D1 ratio was significantly higher in e
