The liver is the largest organ in the body; it has a complex architecture, wide range of functions and unique regenerative capacity. The growing incidence of liver diseases worldwide requires increased numbers of liver transplant and leads to an ongoing shortage of donor livers. To meet the huge demand, various alternative approaches are being investigated including, hepatic cell transplantatio...

The ability of many insects to walk on vertical smooth surfaces such as glass or even on the ceiling has fascinated biologists for a long time, and has led to the discovery of highly specialized adhesive organs located at the distal end of the animals' legs. So far, research has primarily focused on structural and ultrastructural investigations leading to a deeper understanding of adhesive orga...

INTRODUCTION Liver dysfunction associated with artificial nutrition in critically ill patients is a complication that seems to be frequent, but it has not been assessed previously in a large cohort of critically ill patients. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of incidence in 40 intensive care units. Different liver dysfunction patterns were defined: (a) cholestasis: alkaline pho...

Background:  This study presents patient specific and organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) imaging of thorax directly from patient CT image using Monte Carlo simulation.  Patient's CT image is considered as the patient specific phantom and the best representative of patient physical index in order to calculate specific organ dose. Materials and Methods: EGSnrc /BEAMnr...

Darier disease (DD) is a dominantly inherited skin disorder. It characterized by painful and malodourous plaques papules on the of patients. The typical features DD include: acantholysis abnormal keratinization. These histological are due to mutations in gene, ATP2A2, which encodes sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2), pump ER. This leads malformation desmosomes adher...

During this period, powers government authorities healthcare on organization transplant care and organ donation defined, sources mechanisms for target financing medical activities related to transplantation purposes identified. The procedure providing under surger...

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have had increasing use in numerous medical and non-medical applications. Deep learning AI particular is no longer a matter for research only has been used clinical practice applications radiology histopathology years. Whilst radiology, photography are large components of modern forensic pathology practice, image analysis recognition not to the same ext...
