His diagnosis was confirmed with serum protein electrophoresis and he was thereafter followed by hematology. Beta-thalassemia intermedia can present suddenly in adulthood, despite a benign past medical history. Splenomegaly may be a presenting symptom and can be effectively detected with a physical exam plus POCUS. Failure to detect these…[Read more]

The impact of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to identify the patients who may benefit from PMRT.

We retrospectively analysed patients with clinical stage II-III breast cancer who underwent NAC and modified radical mastectomy at our centre from…[Read more]

Brain weights following behavioral testing did not differ. The results reported here along with existing literature suggest sevoflurane is largely without effects on later cognition in adult rodents when exposure is of a relatively short duration and at a relatively low concentration.Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction…[Read more]

The comparison of stress concentration and deformation values between the two types of screws was interpreted using ANSYS software version 14.5. Results of torque test, pullout test, and torsional test showed maximum Von Mises stress, and deformation around the screw-bone interface was higher in self-tapping screw than in self-drilling…[Read more]

We also conducted an experiment in which the observed driver gaze behavior was compared to calculated gaze strategy based on optical flow theory. The experimental results demonstrate that drivers’ gaze can be estimated with an accuracy of 70.8% and 65.1% on circular and straight paths, respectively. Thus, these results suggest that optical flow…[Read more]

In contrast, no significantly different activation patterns were found between short-distance and long-distance conditions in the left MTG. Additionally, functional connectivity (FC) from the left MTG to the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) was stronger when processing fractions than when processing whole numbers, regardless of the distance between…[Read more]

Results for the remaining potential predictors were compatible with both no difference or increased and decreased risks. We found no strong evidence for any interaction between treatment allocation and any potential predictors.

In adult ICU patients at risk of GI bleeding, severity of illness, use of circulatory support and renal…[Read more]

The speed of the global spread of the current pandemic is of major concern and it has created a significant threat to economic and human health across the world. In India, the infection spreads with an infection and fatality rates of the disease are 1.7% and 2.8%, respectively. By this review, we want to emphasize the actual situation and major…[Read more]

We conducted genome-wide association analyses of over 250,000 participants of European (EUR) and African (AFR) ancestry from the Million Veteran Program using electronic health record-validated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis and quantitative symptom phenotypes. Applying genome-wide multiple testing correction, we identified t…[Read more]
