BACKGROUND Black men with prostate cancer are diagnosed at a younger age, present with more aggressive disease, and experience higher mortality. We sought to assess pathological features and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in young men undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) to determine if there is a difference between black and white men closer to the time of disease initiation. METHODS We ident...

Many shrimp farmers were suffering from White Spot Disease (WSD) onset in last decades. Oscillation of environmental factors could lead mortality in susceptible hosts. The results showed mortality started earliear (36h post inoculation) at 25OC in comparison to the temperature more than 29 OC as well as the salinity of 50 ppt in comparison to the lower degrees of salinities. It is concluded tha...

In the continuous-time domain, Maximum-Likelihood (ML) detection of a chirp signal in white Gaussian noise can be done via the line-integral transform of the classical Wigner distribution. The line-integral transform is known variously as the Hough transform and the Radon transform. For discrete-time signals, the Wigner-type distribution defined by Claasen and Mecklenbrauker has become popular ...

Pigmented Bowens disease is an in situ squamous cell carcinoma, which is seldom reported in white patients. Herein we report a 20-year-old woman with type III skin, who had this lesion on the fourth finger of her right hand, similar to superficial malignant melanoma, clinically. Although dermoscopic evaluation could be helpful, correct diagnosis of non-melanotic origin is done by histological e...
