Abstract Purpose The cementless implantation of hip replacement cups may be performed with and without the additional use of acetabular screws. If the surgeon uses screws or not depends on variable factors. In general, the use of screws is intended to increase the primary stability of the cup. Whether…
Purpose: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) potentially can promote the development of alloimmunity. The aim of this study was to investigate if the IL-10-592 CC genotype in the donor reduces the risk of relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and if that has an impact on event-free survival…
Abstract The multi-orogenic crustal segment of the Central Western Carpathians comprises a Variscan basement that is host to small nickel–cobalt (Ni–Co) arsenide and sulfarsenide mineralizations at Ľubietová-Kolba and Čierna Lehota (Slovakia). Here, we constrain the timing of Ni–Co mineralization by…
Abstract Main conclusion We advance Ulva ’s genetic tractability and highlight its value as a model organism by characterizing its APAF1_C/WD40 domain-encoding gene, which belongs to a family that bears homology to R genes. Abstract The multicellular chlorophyte alga Ulva mutabilis (Ulvophyceae, Ulvales)…
Introduction: The Sniffin’ Sticks threshold test is widely used to assess olfactory threshold due to its high reliability and validity. Nevertheless, this test procedure is quite long with an average duration of 10 to 20 min. In study designs that require multiple olfactory threshold tests on short intervals,…
From a macro perspective, inventor networks tend to generate remarkably stable structures over time. At the same time, we observe highly dynamic processes at the micro level, in terms of inventor entries and exits as well as formations and terminations of collaborative relationships between them. In…

Current understanding of organic carbon inputs into ecosystems lacking photosynthetic primary production is predicated on data and inferences derived almost entirely from metagenomic analyses. The elevated abundances of putative chemolithoautotrophs in groundwaters suggest that dark CO 2 fixation is…
Introduction Very few publications have previously described spondylodiscitis as a potential complication of endovascular aortic procedures (EVAR/TEVAR). We present to our knowledge the first case series of spondylodiscitis following EVAR/TEVAR based on our data base. Particular focus was laid on the…
Purpose Anaemia is common in patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid (aSAH) and intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). In surgical patients, anaemia was identified as an idenpendent risk factor for postoperative mortality, prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) and increased risk of red blood cell…
We report on the design and fabrication of a novel all-glass four-channel beam splitter based on a Kösters prism for use in space. The Kösters prism, which consists of three pairs of individual prisms, is used to separate an incoming telescope beam into four spectral channels (λ = 800–1700 nm) with the…
Zusammenfassung Aufgrund von diagnostischen und therapeutischen Fortschritten in der Hämatologie und Onkologie und entsprechend steigenden Überlebensaussichten ist ein stetiger Zuwachs der Gruppe von Langzeitüberlebenden mit und nach Krebs (Cancer Survivor) in Deutschland zu verzeichnen. Obwohl das bereits…
