Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Obesity-Induced Hypothalamic Inflammation and Insulin Resistance: Pivotal Role of Resistin/TLR4 Pathways

Low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance are Sleeper Sectional among the clinical features of obesity that are thought to promote the progressive onset of type 2 diabetes.However, the underlying mechanisms linking these disorders remain not fully understood.Recent reports pointed out hypothalamic inflammation as a major step in the onset of ob

Generative Music with Partitioned Quantum Cellular Automata

Cellular automata (CA) are abstract computational models of dynamic systems that change some features with space and time.Music is the art of organising sounds in space and time, and it can be modelled as a dynamic system.Hence, CA are of interest to Sleeper Sectional composers working with generative music.The art of generating music with CA hinge

Endovascular management of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter penetration and related lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm in an elderly patient

Retrievable filters of Inferior vena cava (IVC) are used to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in high-risk patients, but can result in rare and serious complications like filter penetration into adjacent structures leading to pseudoaneurysm formation.We present a unique case of an 87-year-old male patient with Horse Liniment a history of bilater
