Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries. It affects about 1 billion individuals worldwide. While people with simple steatosis have no higher risk of death than the general population, people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis are at increased risk of death compared to general population. Current management for NAFLD includ...

in addition to graft clarity, an acceptable refractive error is essential to consider a corneal transplant successful. the most common complication of penetrating keratoplasty (pk) is postkeratoplasty astigmatism which can result in decreased visual acuity, anisometropia, and mono-ocular diplopia. these complications can cause patient dissatisfaction, in spite of a successful transplant. intrao...

table 1 : World Health organisation criterion for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, 1994 category definition by bone mineral density t-score Normal A value for BMD that is not more than 1 SD below the young adult mean value ≥-1 Osteopenia A value for BMD that lies between 1 and 2.5 SD below the young adult mean value -1 to -2.5 Osteoporosis A value for BMD that is more than 2.5 SD below the young ...

In this research, nanocrystalline Co-Fe coatings were electrodeposited on copper substrate. The influence of current density on different properties of the films at two pH levels was investigated. All the coatings showed nodular structure with rougher morphology at higher current densities. Due to anomalous deposition at higher current density, the amount of iron content increased and reached i...

Neuroblastoma is one of the more common pediatric cancers. Although there have undoubtedly been major advances in therapy over recent decades, there is still room for significant improvements in outcome to be made. Neuroblastoma is a disease with a variable outlook, encompassing a spectrum-from patients with disease which may undergo spontaneous regression, through those who may be cured with l...

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare chronic autoimmune condition characterized by proximal muscle weakness, characteristic skin lesions and frequently, specific autoantibodies. Involvement of other organ systems, particularly the lungs, is usual and the condition is associated with malignancy in a significant proportion. The morbidity and mortality associated with DM remains high, despite the availa...

The reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- Polyacrylic acid (PVA-g-PAA)/ Polybenzimidazole sulfone (PBIs) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. The polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. The polymer ...

Nano-porous silicon were simply prepared from p-type single crystalline silicon wafer by electrochemical etching technique via exerting constant current density in two different HF-Ethanol and HF-Ethanol-H2O solutions. The mesoporous silicon layers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the width of nano-p...
