Additional file 1: Table S1. Censored regression model for associations between walkability index at 150 m buffer around home address and time spent walking plus interaction terms. In this table, only p-values of the respective interaction terms are reported. Here only results from fully-adjusted models are presented (confounders include age, sex, ethnic background, education, work status, household standardized income group, neighbourhood SES, car possession, household situation, seasonality, weekday or weekend, response type and whether respondents also biked on the same day).

Double-lumen catheters are commonly utilized to acquire temporary access for hemodialysis in patients suffering from acute renal failure. There are many complications related to catheter puncture. An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is rare but occasionally fatal. This case report presents a female patient, 49 years old with a post-catheterization AVF between the femoral common artery and femoral vein, which was successfully treated with a peripheral cover stent placement. A four-week clinical follow-up showed the patient’s condition had significantly improved.

In 1967, Charlotte Delbo explores the painful memory of her husband’s incarceration and execution in a play—Ceux qui avaient choisi—where she uses striking lighting techniques to switch between time frames. Through a study of lighting design in this drama and her other works, and a survey of lighting theories and practices, I demonstrate how Delbo’s understanding of lighting enables her to stage the tragic past that haunts her present. Furthermore, I find that she does not merely show her experience in Ceux qui avaient choisi. Through the use of fade-ins and blackouts, she elicits specific emotions in the audience and amplifies those emotions. As Delbo relives the past on stage, spectators experience her trauma at both the mental and physical levels. Her tragedy becomes theirs. So do her questioning and reflections on France’s past, present, and future.

Venous malformation is considered the most common congenital vascular anomaly. The most common region is the head and neck region involving the lips. Venous malformation of the lips always leads to cosmetic and functional issues. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended in the treatment of this malformation. In this report, we describe two cases of large venous malformation in the lower lip that were successfully treated by percutaneous sclerotherapy followed by plastic surgery. In our two-case presentation, sclerotherapy was performed prior to plastic surgery to improve the efficiency and reduce excessive bleeding, which resulted in significantly improved appearance and physical function.
