31-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-1.55; P = .003) increase in the odds of operative mortality and a 1.22-fold (95% CI, 1.10-1.36; P < .001) increase in the odds of a major complication. For acyanotic patients, each 5% incremental increase in hematocrit >38% was associated with a 1.45-fold (95% CI, 1.28-1.65; P < .001) increase in the…[Read more]

typical chemical markers (such as saniculoside N, hederacoside D, ciwujianoside C3, -E and ursolic acid, 24-hydroxychiisanoside and 1-deoxyisochiisanoside) were the potential active compounds and could be used as quality markers in the future. The present study furnished a basis for the further development and utilization of the leaves of these…[Read more]

The PM had a significantly shorter operating time and lower rate of transient facial palsy than the MTM.

The PM for AT was considered a useful surgical method from the standpoints of postoperative complications and operating time. In the PM, a wide operating field made identification of the facial nerve easier.

The PM for AT was…[Read more]

The role of aqueous extract of

was investigated against cadmium chloride-induced testicular damage in Wistar Rats.

Thirty (30) male Wistar Rats weighing (150-170) were divided into six groups (n=5). Group A served as control and received oral administration of phosphate buffer saline; group B received 800mg/kg

only; group C were…[Read more]

Algorithm performance was evaluated by its ability to detect CyanoHAB ‘Presence’ or ‘Absence’, where the bloom is confirmed by the presence of the MCs. With same-day matchups, the overall accuracy of CyanoHAB detection was found to be 84% with precision and recall of 87 and 90% for bloom detection. Overall accuracy was expected to be between 77%…[Read more]

The area under curve (AUC) value of Nomogram based on T2WI of training set and validation set was 0.83 and 0.81, respectively. The AUC value of the models based on T2WI and models based on AP was almost equal, and Nomograms were the most effective models among all three types of models.

MRI-based Nomogram has greater predictive efficacy to…[Read more]

along with preprocessing steps that allow even simple models to reproduce accurate dose distributions for EBRT. More importantly, we have demonstrated that a model trained using the proposed framework can generalize from the training data to predicting the therapeutic dose in realistic media.

A novel method of generating training data for…[Read more]
