Background and AimsMost data on liver assessment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are from retrospective cohorts with selection bias. We aimed at appraising the feasibility, results, benefits of an outpatient systematic noninvasive screening for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty disease (MAFLD) severity determinants T2DM patients.

INTRODUCTION The limitations of clinical methods for appraising foot posture are well documented. A new measure, the Foot Posture Index is proposed, and its development and validation described. METHODS A four-phase development process was used: (i) to derive a series of candidate measures, (ii) to define an appropriate scoring system, (iii) to evaluate the validity of components and modify t...

appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters; this is why in recent decades extensive studies have been done on scheduling issues. one type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (jit) scheduling and in this area, motivated by jit manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical model for...

Diagnosability plays an important role in appraising the reliability and fault tolerance of symmetrical multiprocessor systems. The novel g-good-neighbor conditional diagnosability restrains that every fault-free node contains at least g neighbors is suitable for large scale systems, attracting a lot research attention. relationships between connectivity graphs under MM* model are separately st...
