Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative strain elastography of tongue carcinoma using intraoral ultrasonography. Materials and Methods Two patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who underwent quantitative strain elastography for the diagnosis of tongue lesions using intraoral ultrasonography were included in this prospective study. Strain elastography was performed...

Sustainability and reducing environmental damage caused by CO2 emissions have become issues of interest to researchers in the construction sector around world. Reducing cement content concrete partially substituting it with by-products or waste falls within this field as industry is responsible for 7% global emissions. On other hand, self-compacting (SCC) one special types that contains a large...

Here, we report the chemotherapeutic effect of honokiol, a phytochemical from Magnolia plant, on human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Treatment of HNSCC cell lines from different sub-sites, SCC-1 (oral cavity), SCC-5 (larynx), OSC-19 (tongue) and FaDu (pharynx) with honokiol inhibited their cell viability, which was associated with the: (i) induction of apoptosis, (ii) correctio...

In this paper we consider (1) the weights of integration for which the reproducing kernel of the Bergman type can be defined, i.e., the admissible weights, and (2) the kernels defined by such weights. It is verified that the weighted Bergman kernel has the analogous properties as the classical one. We prove several sufficient conditions and necessary and sufficient conditions for a weight to be...

Traditional methods of detecting cancer cells, such as fluorescence, have their limits and can hardly be used for identification during tumor resection. Here we report an alternative tumor detection technology using ZnO nanorods bonded to antibodies as cancer cell probes. Our experiment shows that antibodies toward epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) can be connected to ZnO nanorods and to ...

automobile light weight structural composites are subjected to the various loadings in their service lives. honeycombs are increasingly used as core structures in automobile light weight structures as energy absorbers. in this paper the energy absorption of honeycomb panels under impact of cylindrical projectile is numerically and experimentally studied. the effect of the core materials and cro...

The need for medicinal and aromatic plants for industrial uses creates an opportunity for farmers to produce alternative crops. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a perennial shrub originating from Paraguay, is of increasing interest as a source of zero-calorie natural sweeteners: the steviol glycosides (SVglys). The aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of nitrogen (N) supply for leaf yie...

PURPOSE To evaluate conjunctival epithelial neoplastic lesions in a 7-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of all primary cases of conjunctival neoplasia diagnosed in the Pathology Department of Farabi Eye Hospital were analyzed. RESULTS The patient group consisted of 179 (65.3%) males and 95 (34.6%) females, with an age range of 14-90 years and a mean age of 57.9 years. The most com...
