The review deals with an expanding number of steroidal compounds that are capable of forming a metallogel providing a multitude of novel materials rich in their properties. The future of steroidal metallogels holds a myriad of potential applications as new intelligent materials. Detection of potentially harmful compounds without expensive…[Read more]

p in the better management of patients in the HR group. It is also important to minimize influenza morbidity and mortality by vaccinating family members, using empiric therapy, providing immediate antiviral therapy, and educating parents about hygiene measures.

We speculated that early antiviral treatment can help in the better management of…[Read more]

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy with a poor prognosis while with a long and progressive outcome. To date, the therapeutic options are restricted to few drugs, including thalidomide or its derivates and autologous transplantation including stem-cell transplantation. More recently, the use of both proteasome inhibitors and…[Read more]

This finding indicates that an intervention that incorporates the training and competition aspects of sport may promote positive outcomes that are above and beyond those that can be gained from participation in recreational physical activity. Objective measurements on larger samples across a broader range of sports are required to confirm and…[Read more]

n et al.Parkinson disease (PD) has a relatively long prodromal period that may permit early identification to reduce diagnostic testing for other conditions when patients are simply presenting with early PD symptoms, as well as to reduce morbidity from fall-related trauma. Earlier identification also could prove critical to the development of…[Read more]

The teaching process of auscultation is complex in itself, and difficult to operate since it requires a wide spectrum of patients with the most diverse cardiopulmonary pathologies, readily available during teaching and assessment hours, for an ever-growing number of medical students. In this paper we will focus on how virtual patient technologies…[Read more]

On these premises, we introduce an extension that outperforms conventional convolution on benchmark data. Quantitative experiments are provided on synthetic and benchmark data, showing that the direct encoding hit-or-miss transform provides better interpretability on learned shapes consistent with objects, whereas our morphologically inspired…[Read more]
