Osteonecrosis is one of the most disabling diseases affecting pediatric and adult populations. Local application of biomaterials is a promising therapeutic strategy for osteonecrosis. Currently, there is a lack of low-cost animal models of osteonecrosis for testing and developing biomaterials-driven therapeutics. To develop a rat model of ischemic…[Read more]

Scenarios were created that covered the various unpredictable clinical directions these cases could take. These scenarios included the emergency equipment, maneuvers, and interventions that could be required for the anticipated deliveries. Ten sessions for each abdominal wall defect were held; 51 NICU nurses participated in each simulation. NICU…[Read more]

Transcriptomic studies combined with a well annotated genome have laid the foundations for new understanding of molecular processes. Tools which visualise gene expression patterns have further added to these resources. The manual annotation of the Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) genome has resulted in a high quality set of 33,044 genes. Here we…[Read more]

Worldwide water contamination treatment and water security are essential for all living organisms. Among various water contaminants, dye, and bacteria pollution needs to be solved urgently.

In this work, a ceramic sheet from monodisperse, porous silica nanospheres (SiO

NSs) with an average diameter of 220 was prepared. The prepared…[Read more]

We also identified an important developmental goal to train Malaysian instructors on structured debriefing, a critical activity for learning in SBE. Currently, debriefing is often carried out in our centers at an ad hoc basis because of time limitation and the lack of personnel trained. Finally, we aim to implement SBE further in Malaysia, with…[Read more]

rebaudiana fraction can be used an adjunct/supplement in diabetic treatment.Melamine adulteration in milk is a serious health concern for the consumers. A reliable and sensitive technique using silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) was developed for the detection of melamine in milk sample. The AgNPs was synthesized using culinary banana peel extract (BPE)…[Read more]

This paper proposes a new Image-to-Image Translation (Pix2Pix) enabled deep learning method for traveling wave-based fault location. Unlike the previous methods that require a high sampling frequency of the PMU, the proposed method can translate the scale 1 detail component image provided by the low frequency PMU data to higher frequency ones via…[Read more]

01). There were 42 DLA incidents compared with 805 before introduction of therapy (5.2%) patients (hazard ratio 0.05, 95% confidence interval 0.034-0.079) (p  less then  0.01). Among patients with recurrence, there was a decrease of DLA episodes from 6.2% ± 3.6% to 1.7% ± 1.0%/patient. There were no differences in effectiveness of penicillin pr…[Read more]

iltse approach nail placement combined with contralateral TLIF has the advantage of accurate nail placement, reducing multifidus muscle damage, and reducing the incidence of postoperative intractable low back pain.

To compare accuracy of anterior cervical pedicle screws between assist of rapid prototyping 3D guide plate and free-hand…[Read more]
