This paper introduces a Travel Demand Management (TDM) model in order to decrease the transportation externalities by affecting on passengers’travel choices. Thus, a bi-objective bi-modal optimization model for road pricing is developed aiming to enhance environmental and social sustainability by considering to minimize the air pollution and maximize the social welfare as its objectives. This m...

dHACM: dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane INTRODUCTION Mohs surgery and repair of lower eyelid surgical defects present unique reconstruction challenges because of risk for ectropion. There are several options to avoid this adverse outcome, but when a patient declines surgical repair, there are no alternatives aside from second-intention healing with or without adjunctive therapy. One pro...

Financial support: None Conflict of interest: None ABSTRACT Basal cell carcinoma is a locally invasive malignant tumor, most frequently affecting Caucasian people. The nasal ala is a frequent site for this neoplasia. The treatment of choice is surgical, and Mohs micrographic surgery is one of the indicated techniques for presenting great accuracy in the histological control of margins and high ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology with the potential to provide high-resolution images of the skin non-invasively. With this device, it is possible to identify a host of skin structures including tumors. In this case report, we demonstrate the use of an OCT device in delineating a lateral tumor margin of an ill-defined basal cell carcinoma prior to Mohs micrographic su...

L entigo maligna (LM) is an in situ lesion with a 2% to 50% risk of progression to LM melanoma. Currently, surgery or radiotherapy is usually recommended as the primary treatment for LM. In the literature, the recurrence rates reported for radiotherapy range from 0% to 19%, with a mean recurrence rate of approximately 7%; in addition, radiotherapy carries the risk of causing chronic radiodermat...

One of the most significant and effective criteria in the process of cutting dimensional rocks using the gang saw is the maximum energy consumption rate of the machine, and its accurate prediction and estimation can help designers and owners of this industry to achieve an optimal and economic process. In the present research work, it is attempted to study and provide models for predicting the m...
