This article draws on our experiences of carrying out PhD research migration during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all involved with University College London Migration Research Unit (MRU), and explores lived migrants people affected by migration. is first two articles in this issue Society addressing implications from perspective postgraduate researchers. In article, we firstly reflect how “cri...

BACKGROUND Research activities in sub-Saharan Africa may be limited to delegated tasks due to the strong control from Western collaborators, which could lead to scientific production of little value in terms of its impact on social and economic innovation in less developed areas. However, the current contexts of international biomedical research including the development of public-private partn...

BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) results in kidney cyst development and enlargement, resulting in chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading to renal failure. This study sought to determine if ADPKD patients in the early stages of CKD contribute to a sizable economic burden for the US health care system. METHODS This was a retrospective, matched cohort study, reviewin...

Perioperative blood loss during total hip arthroplasty (THA) increases patient morbidity, length of stay (LOS), medical resource use (MRU), and costs. Minimizing blood loss may reduce postoperative anemia, the need for blood transfusions, and the increased risk of infections and longer hospital stays associated with blood transfusions. Pharmacologic agents and bipolar sealer devices can minimiz...

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause hydroureteronephrosis. The right winds posterior to the inferior vena cava and then continues cours anteriorly due abnormal embryogenesis of cava. seen mostly on side except patients with situs inversus. Although retrocaval disease, become symptomatic during third or fourth decade their lives. Flank pain, hematuria, upper tract urina...

Transl Androl Urol, 2017;6(S3) tau.amegroups.com Results: All the operations were performed successfully, without conversions to open surgery. The average operation time was 120 minutes (range, 90–210 minutes), the average blood loos was 15 mL (range, 10–25 mL), and the postoperative hospital stay was 8 days (range, 6–11 days). Two cas...

This research focusing the performance and emission characteristics study on the application of biofuel emulsions as alternate fuel used Kirloskar AV1 Direct Injection Diesel engine. Diesel engine performance was compared using different fuels, namely Diesel, Jatropha Methyl Ester and Jatropha Methyl Ester Wood Pyrolysis Oil emulsion, by applying various loads. Emission characteristics were obs...

This paper proposes a buffered dual-access-mode cache to reduce power consumption for highly-associative caches in modern embedded systems. The proposed scheme consists of a MRU (most recently used) buffer table and a single cache structure to implement two accessing modes, phased mode and way-prediction mode. The proposed scheme shows better access time and lower power consumption than two pop...
