Vladimir Zaichick Introduction: Thyroid adenomas (TA) are benign tumors, but there is a 20% possibility of malignant transformation. The distinguishing between the TA and thyroid cancer is tricky, therefore new TA biomarkers are needed. Furthermore, the role of trace elements (TE) in etiology and pathogenesis of TA is unclear. Aim: The aim of this exploratory

Yasser Mohammed Hassanain Elsayed Rationale: Neuroendocrine tumors are rare distinct neoplasms with varying incidence. Neuroendocrine tumors are mostly affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Carcinoid tumors are considered a synonymous name for neuroendocrine tumors. Rheumatic heart disease is a major differential for carcinoid disease. Patient concerns: A young-aged housewife female patient presented to physician outpatient clinic for

Abe Sunday James Petrophysical analysis is key to the success of any oil exploration and exploitation work and this task requires evaluation of the reservoir parameters in order to enhance accurate estimation of the volume of oil in place. This research work involves the use of suite of well logs from 4-wells to carry out

Since the beginning of the last century, multiple investigations have been carried out in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Stem cells obtained by different routes have been implanted in different injured tissue in order to achieve its regeneration.

The present work addresses the question of psychological distress of the caregivers of patients with dementia. The research covers caregivers residing in Russia and Kazakhstan.

The fascinating field in present civilization scenario at the edge of science is micro-swimmers, which is a combination of bio physics with self-propulsion mechanisms involving swimming strategies at low Reynolds number.

Francisco Casesnoves Total hip metal arthroplasty (THA) model-parameters for a group of commonly used ones is optimized and numerically studied. Based on previous ceramic THA optimization software contributions, an improved multiobjective programming method/algorithm is implemented in wear modeling for THA. This computational nonlinear multifunctional optimization is performed with a number of THA metals with different

Gerald C. Hsu The author utilizes his research results accumulated since 2015 to summarize some key points regarding type 2 diabetes (T2D) control. This paper is aimed at family clinical practice and public health via lifestyle medicine. The approaches and formulas outlined in this article are based on his collected ~2 million data of his

Gerald C. Hsu Since 7/1/2015, the author has utilized his collected data of finger pierced glucose readings 4 times daily, carbs/sugar intake amount, and post-meal walking steps for each meal to calculate the predicted glucose values. He then utilized his developed software calculated daily HbA1C values (the “daily finger A1C”). Starting from 5/5/2018, along with

Gerald C. Hsu The author re-examines the existing close inter-relationships among bodyweight (weight), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and HbA1C (A1C) using the Pearson correlation coefficient “R” of statistics to calculate different degrees of association between two datasets. If R is greater than 50%, then it indicates a strong inter-relationship between two datasets or two curves.
