RET (REarranged during Transfection) 634 mutations were the most common cause of HMTC and more frequently associated with PCC (overall 54% and 100% in those aged ≥ 35 years). Patients in ATA-Highest (HST) group had a universal presentation in stage IV with no cure. In contrast, the cure rate and postoperative disease progression (calcitonin doubl…[Read more]

2 ± 13.6 versus 81.4 ± 18.4, P = 0.003), and borderline differences in angina stability (61.2 ± 26.5 versus 51.0 ± 23.7, P = 0.046) compared to patients in the OMT group. There were no significant differences in SAQ scores in the OMT group at baseline and during the FUP. There was a statistically significant increase in all five domains in the PCI…[Read more]

Three parameters were determined as the criteria of cisplatin effect on cancer cells cell number, nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, R-value.

Data obtained suggest that cisplatin reduces the total cell number, the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio and R-value thus indicates a decrease in cellular resistance and adaptive potential. The digital…[Read more]

hat the imaging performance of MLI systems can be enhanced using the proposed frequency-dependent weighting scheme. The CNR and SNR of the weighted combined image are improved across all spatial scales independent of the detector combination or photon beam energy.

Recently, we introduced a bi-objective optimization approach based on…[Read more]

A lack of consensus on the optimal outcome measures to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) has hampered the pooling of research data for evidence synthesis and clinical guidelines. A core outcome set (COS) is a minimum set of outcome measures that are recommended for all studies of…[Read more]

Such findings should give biology educators, reformers, and researchers pause, as well as fresh incentive to engage more fully and regularly with administrators about their work.Aim In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of hair loss in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and to observe whether use of Biotin…[Read more]

Sperm motility is a crucial factor for normal fertilisation that is partly supported by mitochondrial activity. Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) generate electric currents by an electron grade from anodic to cathodic electrodes in a culture media. We demonstrate that electrical stimulation by EBFC at the nano-Ampere range enhances sperm motility…[Read more]

One of the most efficient ways to synthesize oxetanes is the light-enabled [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of carbonyls and alkenes, referred to as the Paternò-Büchi reaction. The reaction conditions for this transformation typically require the use of high energy UV light to excite the carbonyl, limiting the applications, safety, and s…[Read more]

We report a patient of unilateral posterior keratoconus with systemic associations, second such case in the literature.

This is the largest case series on posterior keratoconus, depicting its varied features. Diagnosis of this uncommon condition requires a high index of suspicion, meticulous slit-lamp examination, and systemic evaluation to…[Read more]

nimizing the impact of gait-related oscillations to the head, as evidenced by reduced mediolateral attenuation in older fallers.There is strong evidence linking relationships and emotions to physical health outcomes. What is critically missing is a more comprehensive understanding of how these important psychosocial factors influence disease over…[Read more]

AuNPs/Suc is successfully employed for determination of As (III) from contaminated water and soil samples in colorimetry and SIPD. Graphical abstractColorimetric and Smartphone-integrated paper device used for selective detection of arsenic from contaminated water samples using sucrose modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/Suc) as a sensing…[Read more]
