Unsuccessful cementing operation can jeopardize the whole well construction process, resulting in further costly and time consuming repair operations. The quality of cementing job is dependent on the cement composition and its properties. Design of cement composition is based on the available geological condition, materials and technical situation at well location. The cement properties like fl...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease defined by biochemical hyperglycemia. Currently it is classified into four major categories: type 1 DM (T1DM), type 2 DM (T2DM), gestational DM (GDM) and other DM. Within each category, the etiology is still heterogeneous. The pathogenesis of most DM is multi-factorial, including many genetic and environmental factors. T1DM, T2DM and GDM are polygenic. In the...

CuO-CeO2 nanocomposite is reported as a green and highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the multicomponent  synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and EDS analysis.

• Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood (see Question 1). • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of the PSA test along with a digital rectal exam to help detect prostate cancer in men age 50 and older. The FDA has also approved the PSA test to monitor patients with a h...

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare chronic autoimmune condition characterized by proximal muscle weakness, characteristic skin lesions and frequently, specific autoantibodies. Involvement of other organ systems, particularly the lungs, is usual and the condition is associated with malignancy in a significant proportion. The morbidity and mortality associated with DM remains high, despite the availa...
