Introduction: Venous hypertension (VH) is a distressing complication following the creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF).The aim of management is to relieve edema with preservation of AVF.Extensive edema increases surgical morbidity with the loss of hemodialysis access.We present our experience in management of VH.Methods: A retrospective study w
ObjectivesRetinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell transplantation holds therapeutic promise for retinal degenerative diseases, but longitudinal monitoring of graft survival and efficacy remains clinically challenging.The aim of this study is to develop a simple and effective method for the therapeutic quantification of RPE cell transplantation and im
To analyse large corpora using machine learning and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms, the corpora need to be standardized.The BioC format is a community-driven simple data structure for sharing text and annotations, however there is limited access to biomedical literature in BioC format and a lack of bioinformatics tools to conver
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is a pleiotropic cytokine, which is thought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, including allergy.TNF is produced at the early stage of allergen sensitization, and then continues to promote the inflammation cascade Food Service in the effector phase of allergic reactions.Consequently,
In this research, we investigated the burnup characteristics and the conversion of fertile S/S Tees 232Th into fissile 233U in the core of a Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR).The SFR fuel assemblies were designed for burning 232Th fuel (fuel pin 1) and 233U fuel (fuel pin 2) and include mixed minor actinide compositions.Monte Carlo simulations were
