Further study is required to determine its role in sinonasal NET management.The ant operon of the antimony-mining bacterium Comamonas testosterone JL40 confers resistance to Sb(III). The operon is transcriptionally regulated by the product of the first gene in the operon, antR. AntR is a member of ArsR/SmtB family of metal/metalloid-responsive…[Read more]

Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to systematically investigate how to maintain and enhance nanofilm pure evaporation on nanopillar surfaces. First, the dynamics of the evaporation meniscus and the onset and evolution of nanobubbles on nanopillar surfaces were characterized. The meniscus can be pinned at the top surface of the…[Read more]

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the worldwide leading cause of preventable maternal mortality. India offers free treatment for pregnancy and related complications in its public health facilities. Management with uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) is recommended for refractory atonic PPH cases. As part of health technology assessment to determine the…[Read more]

There is a long history of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare and they continue to persist in contemporary society. These disparities have the potential to negatively affect morbidity and mortality in racial and ethnic minorities diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. Diagnosis, medical treatment, and rehabilitation for laryngeal cancer have…[Read more]

05). After 3 month treatment and follow-ups,the scores of physical, psychological, social and environmental domains were significantly increased than baseline in both groups (P less then 0.05), and the sores of physical, psychological and environmental domains were significantly higher in HPM group than those of control group (P less then 0.05) .…[Read more]

Based on the expanding set of applications for hyperpolarized carbon-13 (HP-13 C) MRI, this work aims to communicate standardized methodology implemented at the University of California, San Francisco, as a primer for conducting reproducible metabolic imaging studies of the prostate and brain. Current state-of-the-art HP-13 C acquisition, data…[Read more]

We hope that in articulating these modeling assumptions and providing formal support for inclusive fitness maximization, we help bridge the gap between empiricists and theoreticians, which in some ways has been widening, demonstrating to mathematicians why biologists are content to use inclusive fitness, and offering one way to utilize inclusive…[Read more]

Five patients (5/15) with successful manual detorsion underwent elective orchiopexy. Gonadal loss after manual detorsion (9%, 5/58) occurred after unsuccessful manual detorsion, all submitted to emergency surgery. CONCLUSIONS Testicular torsion warrants prompt detorsion. Manual detorsion is simple, immediately available, and maximizes testis…[Read more]

Intense cough, forceful vomiting or sneezing may also be responsible for traumatizing the vessels and resulting in bleeding. Most cases recover with conservative management but some may benefit from interventional occlusion of the leak or surgical decompression in cases of abdominal compartment syndrome.

A diagnosis of SRH is considered when a…[Read more]

Acute gastric dilatation is the radiological finding of a massively enlarged stomach as seen on plain film X-ray or a computerized tomography scan of the abdomen. It is a rare entity with high mortality if not treated promptly and is often not reported due to a lack of physician awareness. It can occur due to both mechanical obstruction of the…[Read more]

Finally, we benchmark the nMNSD on the classification of static inputs (MNIST database) obtaining state-of-the-art accuracies together with advantageous aspects in terms of time- and energy-efficiency if compared to similar classification methods.

321). The breast conservation rate was significantly higher in the TC6 group (73%) than in the other groups (FEC-TC 51%, TC-FEC 45%, p = 0.007). Adverse events with grade > 3 were not common in the treatment groups (p = 0.569). The overall and distant disease-free survivals were similar among the groups with median follow-up of 5.80&nbsp…[Read more]

It is well known that control over the polarization of electromagnetic waves can be achieved by utilizing artificial anisotropic media such as metamaterials. However, most of the related research has been focused on time-invariant systems. Inspired by the concept of temporal boundaries, we propose a method to realize polarization conversion in…[Read more]

PURPOSE Previous SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results)-Medicare analyses have shown no definitive survival benefit for adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) with fluoropyrimidines. Impact of oxaliplatin-containing regimens for elderly stage II patients in real-world setting is unknown. We explored the utilization and outcome of AC after the Food…[Read more]
