Exploring the efficacy of a modified combined minimally invasive approach in patients with thymoma regardless of myasthenia gravis involvement in contrast to open surgery as the mainstay of treatment.

Primary epithelial thymic tumours are rare malignancies of the anterior mediastinum, often present with myasthenia gravis, and with good prognosis when assuming complete surgical resection. We present amodified mini-invasive technique (MIT) that is unique in its extent.

Fifty-two patients were included in this retrospective study. Two groups of patients who had undergone different types of surgery were compared using the Mann-Whitney test (ordinal variables) and Fisher's exact test (binary variables). Changes after completing the surgical learning curve were observed.

There was astatistical difference when comparing early Masaoka stages (I‒II) with later stages in favour of the mini-invasive method (p=0.013). The duration of surgery was longer in the mini‑invasive group with amedian value of 260 vs 133 min (p=0.001). The analysis of operation times revealed that after overcoming the learning curve period, the duration of surgery decreased (2008‒2012 297 min; 2013‒2018 199 min; p=0.005). The systemic complication rate was lower in the mini‑invasive method (26.1 % vs 3.4 %; p=0.035).

Our results showed the modified maximal minimally invasive thymectomy to be an effective and safe method, and after overcoming the learning curve, even superior to open surgery in cases with lower tumour stages in terms of its extent (Tab. 3, Fig. 1, Ref. 49).

Either direct addition of (benzo)azoles or 21 annulation was achieved depending on the propensity of the intermediate complex to undergo palladacycle formation, determined by the nature and substitution pattern of the heteroarene. The obtained exo- and cis-diheteroaryl norbornenes underwent epimerization and retro-Diels-Alder reactions to afford the corresponding trans-isomers and π-extended heteroaromatic systems, respectively, demonstrating the versatility of NBD as an acetylene synthon.Single-component transition-metal oxide (TMO FeOx, NiOx, or CoOx) nanosheets grown on nickel foam (NF) were electrochemically optimized with Li ion (Na ion)-induced conversion reaction for bifunctional electrocatalysis. The optimum FeOx/NF-Li electrocatalyst exhibits low overpotentials of 239 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction and 276 mV for oxygen evolution reaction at a current density of 100 mA cm-2. A two-electrode water splitting cell using FeOx/NF-Li as both anode and cathode requires only 1.60 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The impressive water splitting performance of the FeOx/NF-Li electrode is revealed to be attributed to Li-induced electrochemical conversion, which alters the crystal structure, creating more active sites for electrocatalytic reactions, as well as introduces O vacancies increasing the electron density and the intrinsic conductivity. More importantly, the atomic arrangement is regulated from tetrahedral Fe(Td) to octahedral Fe(Oh) coordination, which acts as catalytically active sites with reduced Gibbs free energy for the rate-determining steps. This electrochemical conversion reaction can be extended to other TMOs (i.e., NiOx/NF and CoOx/NF) for promoted electrocatalytic water splitting performances. NVPTNKS656 This study provides an in-depth understanding on the nature of atomic and electronic structure evolution to promote the electrocatalytic activity.We present a theory which allows us to calculate the interaction potential between charge-regulated metal nanoparticles inside an acid-electrolyte solution. The approach is based on the recently introduced model of charge regulation which permits us to explicitly-within a specific microscopic model-relate the bulk association constant of a weak acid to the surface association constant for the same weak acid adsorption sites. When considering metal nanoparticles we explicitly account for the effect of the induced surface charge in the conducting core. To explore the accuracy of the approximations, we compare the ionic density profiles of an isolated charge-regulated metal nanoparticle with explicit Monte Carlo simulations of the same model. Once the accuracy of the theoretical approach is established, we proceed to calculate the interaction force between two charge-regulated metal nanoparticles by numerically solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation with charge regulation boundary condition. The force is then calculated by integrating the electroosmotic stress tensor. We find that for metal nanoparticles the charge regulation boundary condition can be well approximated by the constant surface charge boundary condition, for which a very accurate Derjaguin-like approximation was recently introduced. On the other hand, a constant surface potential boundary condition often used in colloidal literature, shows a significant deviation from the charge regulation boundary condition for particles with large charge asymmetry.There is increasing interest in diverting the organic fraction of municipal solid waste from landfills to biological treatment processes that result in compost. Due to variations in compost quality and available markets, it is not always possible for compost to be beneficially used on soil. In such cases, compost may be used as alternative daily cover (ADC) in landfills. The objective of this study is to compare the environmental impacts of using compost as a soil amendment, accounting for its beneficial substitutions for fertilizer and peat, to its use as ADC. Monte Carlo simulation and parametric sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of uncertainty in input values on the environmental performance. The ADC scenario outperforms the soil amendment scenario in terms of global warming potential, acidification, and eutrophication in ∼63, ∼77, and ∼100% of simulations, respectively, while the soil amendment scenario is better in terms of cumulative energy demand and abiotic resource depletion potential ∼94 and ∼96% of the time, respectively.
