Brain metastases (BMs) are diagnosed in 10%-40% of all patients with cancer, and the incidence continues to increase along with the number of long-term survivors. When BMs occur, they are often associated with a myriad of symptoms, including neurologic dysfunction and functional decline; both are difficult to manage and can be distressing for patients and their caregivers. Although clinically s...

The cyclic voltammetry of both bulk manganese sulfate (BMS) and nano manganese sulfate (NMS) were studied using 0.1M KCl supporting electrolyte and glassy carbon working electrode. The redox behavior for both bulk (BMS) and MnSO4 (NMS) sulfate was studied voltammetrically in presence and absence of Doxorubicin (DR) using three electrodes system, silver- silver chloride (Ag/AgCl), pla...

Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is responsible for the management of approximately 3000 bridges on the provincial highway network. The MTO in recent years has been evaluating developments in Bridge Management Systems in relation to its own requirements. The Ministry decided to develop an all-new system, similar in network-level functionality to modern systems developed in other count...

Abstract The need to optimize investments in bridge maintenance has created a demand for improved management systems (BMS). Outdated practices inspection and constant advances information technology have also contributed this demand. use of Digital Twins (DT), although well established other industries, is still incipient asset structural analysis bridges. There great deal research on Building ...

This article discusses the requirements for developing a mobile model-based bridge lifecycle management system (MMBLMS). This new system should link all the information about the lifecycle stages of a bridge (e.g., design, construction, inspection, and maintenance) to a 4D model of the bridge incorporating different scales of space and time to record events throughout the lifecycle with suitabl...

Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is responsible for the management of approximately 3000 bridges on the provincial highway network. A modern Bridge Management System is an essential tool to aid the Ministry in fulfilling its mandate to provide a safe, economical, and effective road network throughout the province. The Ministry has engaged ITX Stanley, Ltd., to provide this tool, to be...

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterised by the presence of a burning sensation in the oral mucosa in the absence of any clinically apparent mucosal sign. It occurs more commonly in older women and often affects the tongue tip and lateral borders, lips, and hard and soft palates. Besides the burning sensation, patients with BMS may complain of unremitting oral mucosal pain, dysgeusia, and ...
