Many species of Muscidae are cosmopolitan synanthropic insects. It is frequently found on dead bodies after death, so an accurate identification of each species is necessary for the correct estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). Identification species of Muscidae is traditionally performed through their morphological features. However, the morphological similarity of Muscidae in the level...

Introduction: Positive contrast by means of selective excitation is a helpful way of visualizing objects of clinical interest, like iron-labeled cells, paramagnetic agents or labeled therapeutics. In regular gradient echo imaging, these entities cause negative contrast due to intra voxel dephasing effects which cannot be distinguished from signal voids caused by other effects, and is subjected ...

BACKGROUND Scintillation camera imaging is used for treatment planning and post-treatment dosimetry in liver radioembolization (RE). In yttrium-90 (90Y) RE, scintigraphic images of technetium-99m (99mTc) are used for treatment planning, while 90Y Bremsstrahlung images are used for post-treatment dosimetry. In holmium-166 (166Ho) RE, scintigraphic images of 166Ho can be used for both treatment p...

Glyceollins, one family of phytoalexins, are de novo synthesised from daidzein in the soyabean upon exposure to some types of fungus. The efficiency of glyceollin production appears to be influenced by soyabean variety, fungal species, and the degree of physical damage to the soyabean. The compounds have been shown to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and to inhibit the ...

A biomaterial derived from porcine intestinal submucosa has been used in the development of a new biologic wound matrix. This review describes the origin of the wound matrix device, including the discovery of the biomaterial and its properties, to the development of the commercial product currently in clinical use. The composition and structure of this biomaterial are described and considered a...

PURPOSE The present review article aims to provide an overview of the available radionuclides for palliative treatment of bone metastases beyond (89)Sr and (153)Sm. In addition, it aims to review and summarize the clinical outcomes associated with the palliative treatment of bone metastases using different radiopharmaceuticals. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search was conducted on Scienc...

We describe new computer-based search strategies for extreme functions for the Gomory–Johnson infinite group problem. They lead to the discovery of new extreme functions, whose existence settles several open questions. 1 166 3 166 2 83 5 166 3 83 7 166 9 166 5 83 11 166 6 83 13 166 15 166 8 83 17 166 9 83 19 166 21 166 11 83 23 166 12 83 25 166 29 166 15 83 31 166 16 83 33 166 17 83 35 166 18 8...

OBJECTIVE(S) In this study, (166)Ho-1,2-propylene di-amino tetra(methy1enephosphonicAcid) ((166)Ho-PDTMP) complex was prepared as a bone palliation agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS The complex was successfully prepared using an in-house synthesized EDTMP ligand and (166)HoCl3. Ho-166 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (1 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural Ho(NO3)3 samples followed by...
