Abstract: Red blood cells (RBCs) deformability can be defined as the ability of the cells to deform when subjected to certain flow conditions. In this work, a microfluidic system composed of a microchannel with..

Abstract: The cell-free layer (CFL) is a hemodynamic phenomenon that has an important contribution to the rheological properties of blood flowing in microvessels. The present work aims to find the closest function describing RBCs flowing around the cell depleted layer in a polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) microchannel with a diverging..

Abstract : Background: Yawning continually poses a difficulty for many scientists and clinicians over their agreement about the mechanism, origin, and neuro-chemicals involved. There has previously been no reliable way of profiling a yawn, scientifically, except by observation.Objective: To represent the yawn episode in terms of ..

Abstract: Cancer statistics show that the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world is lung cancer, that over 50% of patients diagnosed with this cancer have distant metastasis, and that only 4% of these patients manage to survive more than 5 years. The limited selective cytotoxicity of the drugs used for the treatment of thes..

Abstract : We report two cases of premature ovarian failure after uterine artery embolization (UAE). Our cases provide guidance for gynecologists who perform UAE. The first patient, aged 42 years, was para 1-0-0..

Abstract: Prognosis of melanoma patients with metastatic disease is very poor. For example, over 95% of melanoma patients with three or more sites of metastatic disease die within 1 year. Treatment failure usually occurs because the drugs used for the treatment of these patients have a low capacity to kill melanoma cells selecti..

Abstract: Cardiac glycosides are promising anticancer drugs. We have recently shown that the cardiac glycosides digitoxin, digoxin and ouabain induce selective killing of lung cancer cells, and that the cytotoxicity of digitoxin against these cells occurs at concentrations below those observed in the plasma of cardiac patients t..

Abstract: Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. Cysticercosis usually involves musculoskeletal system and CNS. Here we present an isolated involveme..

Abstract : This article will outline the background and development of a longitudinal curriculum in information mastery in the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Family Medicine Residency program...

Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human opportunistic pathogen ubiquitously distributed in nature. Under iron limiting conditions, this organism secretes pyoverdine which helps to chelate iron to form ferripyoverdine complexes recognized at the outer membrane by ferripyoverdine receptors, these receptors help to transport ir..

Introduction: Nasogastric tube is used in almost all the patients for feeding and gastric decompression specially treated for GIT problems or head and neck injury / surgeries for variable lengths of time . It may b..

Abstract: The purpose of this commentary is to introduce the importance of place after the tornadoes in Oklahoma and suggest next steps for the community of disaster survivors and the external stakeholders that willstep in to help in the recovery process.

Abstract : Numerous epidemiological and preclinical studies suggest that flavonoids may play an important role in the decreased risk of cancer associated with a diet rich in plant-derived foods. In this article, we have reviewed the epidemiological studies assessing the relationship between the consumption of three of the most co..

Abstract : Full urinary bladder is prone to intra-peritoneal rupture following blunt abdominal trauma. It is usually diagnosed early due to frank hematuria. Review of literature has revealed few cases of delayed presentation of bladder injury presenting as acute pseudo renal failure. Each of the cases has a pointer towards inhere..

Abstract: Abstract: This case report discusses an ethical dilemma about consent and patient autonomy from prehospital emergency services.
