Predicting the risk of dehydration and readmission among rectal cancer patients with ileostomy: a multicenter observational study

Abstract Dehydration is a frequent complication among rectal cancer patients after ileostomy, often resulting in hospital readmission. The Dehydration Readmission after Ileostomy Prediction (DRIP) score was used to identify patients at risk of dehydration-related readmission. The...

Laminar pattern disruption in fetal incipient polymicrogyria: insights from post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging and neuropathological correlation

Abstract Background Polymicrogyria is a heterogeneous cortical malformation resulting from disruption of multiple processes of cortical development, either genetically determined or acquired. Objective To characterize early imaging and histopathological features of incipient poly...

Snow microinvertebrates from lowlands, high mountains and the Arctic—implications for conservation efforts

Abstract The protection of cryospheric ecosystems and their biota cannot be properly defined without a detailed species inventory. Snow microinvertebrates are crucial for estimating cryophilic biodiversity, yet they are poorly described at broader spatial scales. To fill this kno...
