The background of this article is to determine the effect of a neurosurgical intervention in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) on the risk of cerebrovascular events. We included studies with at least ten MMD patients in either intervention or control group which investigated cerebrovascular events during a minimal follow-up period of 1 year afte...
Background: Embolisation and metastatic infection occur frequently in infective endocarditis (IE). We aimed to evaluate the impact of nuclear imaging on diagnosis, therapy and mortality.Methods: All patients hospitalised for definite IE at the University Hospitals of Leuven in 2001 and in 2015 were retrospectively included. Demographic, clinical, d...
© 2019 Author(s). The magnetic-induced orbital motion of quasiparticles affects the conductance properties of a hybrid strip of a quantum-anomalous-Hall topological material with induced superconductivity. We elucidate the scenario of topological normal-superconducting-normal ideal junctions in the presence of orbital magnetic motion, showing how i...
BACKGROUND: Altered structural network-connectivity has been reported in psychotic disorder but whether these alterations are associated with genetic vulnerability, and/or with phenotypic variation, has been less well examined. This study examined i) whether differences in network-connectivity exist between patients with psychotic disorder, sibling...
© 2018, The Author(s). We find a new supersymmetric solution of type IIB supergravity which is the uplift of the GPPZ solution of maximal SO(6) gauged supergravity in five dimensions. This background is expected to be holographically dual to an N= 1 ∗ supersymmetric mass deformation of four-dimensional N= 4 SYM. The ten-dimensional solution is sing...
Social and demographic changes across the world over the past 50 years have resulted in significant outbreaks of arboviruses such as dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Despite the increased threat of infection, no approved drugs or fully protective vaccines are available to counteract the spread of DENV and ZIKV. The development of "broad-s...
PURPOSE: Whether the quality of the ethical climate in the intensive care unit (ICU) improves the identification of patients receiving excessive care and affects patient outcomes is unknown. METHODS: In this prospective observational study, perceptions of excessive care (PECs) by clinicians working in 68 ICUs in Europe and the USA were collected da...
