There is no unanimity in literature on sexual dimorphism or on age related morphophometric changes in the Corpus Callosum (CC). For comprehensive data 44 preserved human brains (22 male and 22 female) and 30 MRI scans from North-west Indian population were studied. Morphometric measurements of the CC and its subregions were taken at the midsagittal level in both the groups and subjected to stat...

Abstract Background Combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is an infrequent type of primary liver cancer that comprises (HCC) (CC). This study investigated the clinicopathological features prognosis among cHCC-CC, HCC, CC groups. Methods We prospectively collected data 608 patients who underwent surgical resection for between 2011 2018 at E-Da Hospital, I-Shou Univer...

A specific representative of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) called cystitis cystica (CC) was assessed by ultrasound. The aim of the study was to delineate, by means of ultrasound measurement (US) of bladder wall thickness (BWT), the children with mere repeated UTI from those prone to frequent UTI due to CC. Two groups were compared, the control group of 30 with recurrent UTI without U...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and colon cancer (CC) are numbered among the most common diseases in the world. The decreased activity of natural killer (NK) cells previously revealed in both mentioned pathological states may be correlated with impaired expression of GLUT4 as the major insulin-dependent glucose transporter in these cells. METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate GLUT4 e...

PURPOSE The efficacy of low-dose thalidomide (THAL) plus dexamethasone (DEX) has been evaluated in myeloma. The clinical outcome of patients treated with THAL-DEX was compared with that of a control group treated with conventional chemotherapy (CC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A total of 120 relapsed/refractory patients to one (52%), or two or more(48%) lines of chemotherapy were treated with THAL 10...

BACKGROUND Vascular calcification contributes to cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis (HD) patients with diabetes. The randomized controlled trial reported here compared the effects of lanthanum carbonate (LC) and calcium carbonate (CC) on vascular stiffness assessed using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), intima-media thickness (IMT), bone mineral density (BMD), and serum markers ...

purpose : to investigate the penetration of cefixime and ciprofloxacin to the rabbit eye on the basis of microbial inhibition of aqueous and vitreous humour after oral administration. methods : in this experimental study, 36 rabbits (72 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups group a consisted of 20 rabbits and group b 16 rabbits. each group was divided into four equal subgroups. the rabbit...

Many researchers argue that students must be meaningfully engaged in the learning resources for effective learning to occur. However, current online learners still report a problematic lack of attractive and challenging learning resources that engage them in the learning process. This endemic problem is even more evident in online collaborative learning approaches whose resources lack of authen...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the flexural strength and microhardness of provisional restorative materials fabricated utilizing rapid prototyping (RP), Computer Assisted Designing and Computer Assisted Milling (CAD-CAM) and conventional method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty specimens of dimensions 25 mm × 2 mm × 2 mm (ADA-ANSI specification #27) were fabricated ...
