Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) may expose patients to morbidity, with little gain in outcome. Treatment with CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil) has been the standard ACT in several countries for decades. In this model, efficacy, tolerability and quality of life data from the English-language literature were incorporated with Norwegian standard ACT practice and cost data in a cost-e...

Membrane filtration is one of the alternatives suggested for the future drinking water production. Worldwide, the total number of ceramic membrane usage for water treatment is increasing swiftly and this is the first ceramic filtration study which is applied to a surface water treatment in a tropical region. This study was conducted to investigate the removals of natural organic matter and path...

The problem of steady Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid due to an exponentially permeable stretching sheet with heat source/sink in presence of thermal radiation is numerically investigated. The effect of transverse Brownian motion and thermophoresis on heat transfer and nano particle volume fraction considered. The governing partial differential eq...

OBJECTIVE Examine whether there are independent influences of a greater degree of adiposity and longer duration of obesity on cardiac structure and function. METHODS Participants of CARDIA were 18-30 years when they underwent a baseline examination in 1985-86. Seven follow-up examinations were conducted every 2-5 years. RESULTS Among 2,547 participants who underwent an echocardiogram at the...

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive respiratory support techniques has proven the usefulness of PFC as a complementary substance to achieve a more homogeneous surfactant distribution. The aim of this work wa...

The initial and boundary conditions of the Galactic star formation in molecular clouds are not well understood. In an effort to shed new light on this long-standing problem, we measured properties dense cores filamentary structures Vela C cloud, observed with Herschel. We applied getsf extraction method separate components sources filaments from each other their backgrounds, before detecting, m...

This case report describes a rare bony cervical tumor, chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) which has features of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). The true etiology of CMF and ABC is unknown. The aneurismal bone cyst may be the result of a specific pathophysiologic change, which is probably the result of trauma or a tumor-induced anomalous vascular process. In approximately one third of cases, the preexis...

Digital Forensic is a branch of forensic science which is related to computer crime. It deals with the investigation and recovery of material found in digital devices. Digital images and videos are the most important part of digital forensics as they are the prime evidences in law issues or in mass media. So the loyalty of the digital image is important. Due to the rapid increase and easy acces...
