Background and Objectives Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a benign tumor with a locally aggressive nature and a propensity to recur.Many risk factors for recurrence have been reported, but they are still controversial.The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess the demographic data, clinical features, and potential risk factors for rec
The CoQH2/CoQ Ratio Serves as a Sensor of Respiratory Chain Efficiency
Electrons feed into the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) from NAD- or FAD-dependent enzymes.A shift from glucose to fatty acids increases electron flux through FAD, which can saturate the oxidation capacity of the dedicated coenzyme Q (CoQ) pool and result in the generation of reactive oxygen species.To prevent this, the mETC superstru
The foundations of the Patagonian icefields
Abstract The two vast Patagonian icefields are a global hotspot for ice-loss.However, not much is known about the total ice volume they store - let alone its spatial distribution.One reason is that the abundant record of direct thickness measurements has never Can Punch / Bottle Openers been systematically exploited.Here, this record is combined wi
An Optimized Procedure to Estimate the Economic Seismic Losses of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings due to Seismic Damage
The latest Italian seismic events have highlighted a high discrepancy between the Cookie plate potential destructiveness of an earthquake and the consequent economic losses due to damage to buildings.The main reason for this mismatch is the high number of vulnerable residential buildings or the low-to-medium vulnerability of buildings that are reac
