background: benign joint hypermobility syndrome (bjhs) is a disorder due to laxity of supporting connective tissue of joints. inguinal hernia is also proposed due to weak supporting tissue that may be a clinical presentation of a more widespread problem of connective tissue. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, prevalence of benign hypermobility joint syndrome (bhjs) was assessed ...

The monitoring of the patients after salivary gland tumors surgery is an important clinical issue. Still imperfect diagnostic procedures also remain a challenge for searching new sensitive and specific biomarkers of neoplastic processes in salivary glands. The aim of the presented study was an the assessment of the activity of HEX, with its isoforms HEX-A and HEX-B, GLU, GAL, MAN and FUC in sal...

In this article, we present a toolset to fully leverage previously developed transcutaneous oxygenation monitor (TCOM) wearable technology accurately measure skin values. We describe numerical models and experimental characterization techniques that allow for the extraction of precise tissue measurements. The model is based on an inverse boundary problem parabolic equation with Dirichlet condit...

Proton beam radiotherapy is a cancer treatment method that uses proton beams to irradiate cancerous tissue while simultaneously sparing doses healthy tissue. In order optimize radiational the tumor and ensure spared, many researchers have suggested verifying delivery through real-time imaging. One promising of imaging Compton camera, which can image prompt gamma rays emitted along beam's path p...

AIM To evaluate catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) activity in healthy and inflamed dental pulp of young patient's teeth and to investigate if an active defense system oxidizing agents is present as a response to bacterial invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty young patients between 15 and 25 ages, who were diagnosed to be healthy, were the source of the pulp tissue. The situation of the dental pul...

Growth anomaly (GA) is a commonly observed coral disease that impairs biological functions of the affected tissue. GA is prevalent at Wai 'ōpae tide pools, southeast Hawai 'i Island. Here two distinct forms of this disease, Type A and Type B, affect the coral, Montiporacapitata. While the effects of GA on biology and ecology of the coral host are beginning to be understood, the impact of this d...

BACKGROUND Human kallikrein 4 (gene, KLK4; protein, hK4), a recently discovered member of the kallikrein gene family, shares many characteristics with prostate-specific antigen, the best available marker for prostate cancer. Because the protein has not been detected in any human tissue, we attempted to develop immunologic methods for hK4 analysis and use them to detect hK4 in healthy and cancer...

This paper illustrates the potential of FOTELP-VOX code, a modification general-purpose FOTELP combining Monte Carlo techniques to simulate particle transportation from an external source through internal organs, resulting in 3-D absorbed dose distribution. The study shows comparison results obtained by software and volumetric modulated arc therapy technique. planning technique with two full ar...

A wound is any injury that disrupts the structure of healthy skin tissue caused by chemical, mechanical, biological or thermal trauma. Wounds can be classified as acute chronic, depending on their period healing​[1]​. Acute wounds usually heal without complication within ten days; however, chronic do not undergo normal healing processes, commonly have […]
