Enterobacteriaceae are often found in the lungs of patients with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (sTBI). However, it is unknown whether these bacteria come from gut microbiota. To investigate this hypothesis, mice model sTBI was used study. After sTBI, Chao1 and Simpson index peaking at 7 d (p < 0.05). The relative abundance Acinetobacter increased to 16.26% after sTBI. chao1 microbiota peaked Three hours conditional pathogens such as Lachnoclostridium, Acinetobacter, Bacteroides Streptococcus...

Thebes ascended to prominence as the paramount centre of Byzantine silk industry during twelfth century. Renowned for its exquisite weaving craftsmanship, Theban products earned an unrivalled reputation within Byzantium and found substantial demand in neighbouring regions. Existing scholarship has reasonably interpreted supported by industrial network around Central Greece. However, question supply artisanal personnel, especially weavers who played a role industry, remained largely...

Abstract The transfer of sericulture into Byzantium is a critical episode in the global dissemination silk production technology. However, it now widely accepted that explanatory model portraying as one-off event at odds with historical facts. This article seeks to reassess this technology through lens appropriation, interpreted process. Based on detailed analysis limited evidence available, attempts reconstruct process from transregional and diachronic perspectives, embracing, one hand,...

Abstract The silk production around Naupaktos is better documented than other examples of the industry in Byzantine Central Greece, especially terms its organisation, industrial layout and technical parameters. However, comparison with much better-known Theban counterpart, Naupactian remains underexplored current scholarship. This article focuses on synthesising information about provided by surviving writings John Apokaukos, metropolitan c.1200-1232. It also seeks to evaluate how result...

Circadian rhythms of heart rate variability have been widely studied in recent years. However, most previous reports described such terms normalized units the low- and high-frequency (LF HF) spectral components. In this study, we analyzed circadian components absolute found unexpected results normal subjects as well coronary disease (CHD) congestive failure (CHF) patient groups. The indicate that notion sympathovagal balance needs to be re-evaluated.

Many theories have been proposed to explain the success of Theban silk industry from twelfth century onward. To contribute this discussion in context recent research developments, article explores metropolitan's hypothetical contribution through case study John Kaloktenes, who initiated a series projects during his tenure (before 1166–c.1190). The analysis three these suggests that they might designed support industry. Thus, proposes working hypothesis Thebes's industrial benefited...

Thebes is among the best-documented Venetian colonies in Byzantium, with records dating back to 1072. While it widely acknowledged that Venetians played a crucial role development of Byzantine Thebes, details about community city remain largely unexplored, which has hindered deeper understanding true extent impact on Thebes. To address this scholarly gap, article examines using documentary sources, focusing works R. Morozzo della Rocca and A. Lombardo. The study adopted prosopography...

The consensus has been reached on the benefits of surgical drainage. However, catheter-related blockage and retrograde infection remain bottleneck problems in treatment process. To this end, with Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, as main inventors, a drainage tube dredging umbrella anti-retrograde kit have designed applied for national utility model patent (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1300036.2). body consists catheter umbrella, tube, bag. Several isolation layers are installed bag to form...

The silk industry that thrived in Thebes around the twelfth century exemplified Byzantium's industrial accomplishments during middle Byzantine period. However, how its products were exported still awaits systematic clarification. This topic becomes increasingly compelling as scholars begin to reveal industry's potential interactions with other regional economic sectors, especially pottery production Euripos, terms of trade logistics. article aims contribute a thorough investigation into...

Abstract Background: Fibrinogen may play an important role in the survival of trauma patients; however, its traumatic brain injury (TBI) and correlation with disease prognosis remain poorly understood. The aims this study were to determine incidence TBI-associated hypofibrinogenemia patients TBI evaluate prognostic value fibrinogen level respect mortality clinical outcomes. Methods: A total 2570 consecutive retrospectively studied. Prognostic evaluations determined using Glasgow Outcome...

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate potential correlations between skull density and the progression chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Methods Patients with unilateral CSDH were retrospectively enrolled January 2018 December 2022. Demographic clinical characteristics, as well (Hounsfield unit, Hu), collected analyzed. Results 830 patients until resolution CDSH or progressed surgical treatment. Of total, 488 (58.80%) necessitated identified a significant correlation three...

The article originates from a record David Jacoby drew attention to but left mostly unaddressed in his path-breaking on the silk industry western Byzantium. It examines three underexplored hagiographical texts concerning endeavours of Arechis II, prince Benevento (758–787), translation holy relics. These all feature word phocaicus when describing luxurious textiles dedicated This argues that this is geographical designation pointing so-far unidentified centre Byzantine sometime around...
