Background: The term carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is not a single disease entity that it can be explicated as the recognition metastasized tumor, in which origin malignancy from an organ or site remains occult. refers to clinical disorder revolves around and represents diversified metastatic tumor group, for whom diagnostic investigations are unable pinpoint comprising extensive radiologi...

Bras give support to the breasts and prevent damage their different components during daily activities. Previous studies have however merely focused on specific types of bras and/or shoulder straps but failed provide guidelines bra features materials that can be used improve functions bras. The purpose this study is evaluate breast control performance various designs under conditions walking ru...

Introduction: In contemporary THA there are two broad approaches to acetabular cup design and materials. One is an all-polyethylene design with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement. PMMA possesses a modulus of elasticity of about 2 GPa, which is between that of trabecular and subchondral bone. The second more popular approach, especially for active, younger patients, is the porous metal-backed ...

BACKGROUND A quality improvement initiative was created during the 2014 Africa Goal campaign, which uses live screenings of FIFA World Cup football matches as a platform for local organizations to provide HIV outreach and services in East and Southern Africa. MATERIALS AND METHODS Survey data assessed attendees' baseline knowledge of HIV and prevalence of prior testing. RESULTS The data sho...

We leave our fingerprints behind everywhere like when going to a café for a coffee or a soda, yet we never think of the possibilities that others might steal our prints from the cup or glass we just drank from. In this report we have conducted several experiments of lifting such latent fingerprints, and later having used them to create artificial reproductions. We have tried to use several diff...

Abstract In the present research, the behavior of 304L austenitic stainless steel in the deep drawing process has been studied at the room temperature through experimental and finite element simulation method. Magnetic method calibrated by XRD was used to measure induced-martensite. Martensite volume fraction in the various portion of the deep drawn cup under optimum Blank Holder Force (BHF) a...

peltier technology opens new opportunities for specialapplications. in the current project, this technology was appliedto design and fabricate a portable thermoelectric beveragecooler and thermoelectric cup. the simulation and results of theexperiment showed that the common beverage cooler is not asuitable design for ignoring the effect of natural convection incooling. in our thermoelectric cup...

PURPOSE To use novel confocal scanning ophthalmoscopy technology to test hypothesis that HIV-seropositive patients without history of retinitis with a history of a low CD4 count are more likely to have damage to their retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) when compared to patients with high CD4 count. In addition, we compared optic disc morphologic changes with glaucoma. DESIGN Cross-sectional stu...

The need for mechanical manipulation during the curing of conventional liquid crystal elastomers diminishes their applicability in the field of shape-programmable soft materials and future applications in additive manufacturing. Here we report on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal elastomers, novel composite materials that eliminate this difficulty. Their thermal shape memory anisotropy is imprin...
