STUDY PROTOCOL: A PILOT STUDY TO DETERMINE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF INDUCTION-THERAPY, DE NOVO MPA AND DELAYED MTOR-INHIBITION IN LIVER TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS WITH IMPAIRED RENAL FUNCTION. PATRON-STUDY

Abstract Background Patients undergoing liver transplantation Scissors with preexisting renal dysfunction are prone to further renal impairment with the early postoperative use of Calcineurin-inhibitors.However, there is only little scientific evidence for the safety and efficacy of de novo CNI free "bottom-up" regimens in patients with impaired re

Human beings are facing severe global environmental problems and sustainable development Defrost Fuse problems.Effective separation technology plays an essential role in solving these challenges.In the past decades, superwettability (e.g., superhydrophobicity and underwater superoleophobicity) has succeeded in achieving oil/water separation.The mix

Abstract Background Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PASs) are rare, and complete tumor resection is often difficult at the time of detection.We encountered a case of PAS that was thought to be resectable; however, the patient had severe symptomatic Scissors valvular disease.We faced a difficult decision regarding the surgical strategy.Case presentation

IntroductionIn CIED infections, all device material needs to be removed.But, especially in pacemaker-dependent patients it is often not possible to realize a device-free interval for infection remediation.In those patients, different treatment options are available, however the ideal solution needs still to be defined.MethodsThis retrospective anal

This paper studies a design of a puzzle-based storage system.We developed an item retrieval algorithm for our system which has three advantages over the previous counterparts in the literature: (i) we can retrieve items from all sides of our storage system; (ii) the existence of only one empty cell in our system is sufficient to retrieve an item; a
