Heterogeneity in definitions of surgical site infection after cranial surgery limits the validity of research findings in neurosurgery: a systematic review by Majidi, N, Sivakumar, A, Vogt, A, Ranganathan, S, Ashkan, K, Price, SJ, Lee, KS

“…This heterogeneity has hindered the ability to draw conclusions about the effects of interventions, with only 4.0% of authors accounting for this in their findings. It is important to be cautious when reviewing studies that report SSI-CRAN outcomes without acknowledging this heterogeneity, as the validity of their reported evidence may be limited. …”

Single cell hydrodynamic stretching and microsieve filtration reveal genetic, phenotypic and treatment-related links to cellular deformability by Li, Fenfang, Cima, Igor, Vo, Jess Honganh, Tan, Min-Han, Ohl, Claus-Dieter

“…In another model, the breast epithelial cells MCF10A with deletion of the TP53 gene are also significantly more deformable compared to their isogenic wildtype counterpart, indicating a potential genetic link to cellular deformability. We also find that the drug docetaxel leads to an increase in the size of A549 lung cancer cells. …”

Wireless channel modeling and spectrum monitoring for interference mitigation and link reliability insurance for existing and future CBTC systems by Kalyankar Shravan Kumar

“…The statistics of the clustered data are analyzed to understand the characteristics of radio signals from different access points, and the findings of this technique are presented. The study shows that the proposed approach can be used in real-time monitoring of access points (APs) and help the MRT operators identify the faulty APs without any in-field tests. …”

Persistent elevation of intrathecal pro-inflammatory cytokines leads to multiple sclerosis-like cortical demyelination and neurodegeneration by James, Rachel E., Schalks, Renee, Browne, Eleanor, Eleftheriadou, Ioanna, Munoz, Carmen Picon, Mazarakis, Nicholas D., Reynolds, Richard

“…Here we tested the hypothesis that persistent production of these cytokines in the meningeal compartment and diffusion into underlying GM can drive chronic MS-like GM pathology. Lentiviral transfer vectors were injected into the sagittal sulcus of DA rats to deliver continuous expression of TNF + IFNγ transgenes in the meninges and the resulting neuropathology analysed after 1 and 2 months. …”
