The World Health Organization has acknowledged the gap in schizophrenia diagnoses and recommended further research to identify tools biomarkers for disease’s early detection. Because skin brain have a common ectodermal origin, dermatoglyphics are hypothesized serve as potential mirror identification of risks characteristics neuropsychiatric diseases. This study aimed determine digito-palmar der...

Objective: The present study is to document and provide information about both normal variable morphology of the deep palmar
 arch (DPA) in adult human cadavers by dissection method.
 Materials Methods: We examined 12 upper extremities (6 cadavers). After classification vascular patterns DPA and
 its branches, measurements vessel diameters were carried out using a digital compass...

Stainless steels are susceptible to the localized pitting corrosion that leads to a huge loss to our society. Studies in the past decades confirmed that the pitting events generally originate from the local dissolution in MnS inclusions which are more or less ubiquitous in stainless steels. Although a recent study indicated that endogenous MnCr2O4 nano-octahedra within the MnS medium give rise ...

PATIENT Male, 67 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome Symptoms: Bilateral wrist swelling Medication: - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Rheumatology. OBJECTIVE Unusual or unexpected effect of treatment. BACKGROUND Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is a rare clinical entity characteriz...

In this paper we utilize Support Vector Machines to predict the degradation of the mechanical properties, due to surface corrosion, of the Al 2024-T3 aluminum alloy used in the aircraft industry. Precorroded surfaces from Al 2024-T3 tensile specimens for various exposure times to EXCO solution were scanned and analyzed using image processing techniques. The generated pitting morphology and indi...

The phase structure and the pitting susceptibility of two carbon steels, Q235 and HRB335, used for reinforced concrete, are investigated by phase observation, polarization curve measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Mott-Schottky analysis. It is found that Q235 is ferrite and HRB335 is pearlite. Q235 is more susceptible to chloride ions leading to pitting than HRB335. The po...

Inclusion-induced pitting initiation mechanisms in X70 steel were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM), immersion and electrochemical polarization tests in chloride-containing ion solutions. There are three inclusion types in the X70 steel. Corrosion test results indicated that pitting corrosion resistance of type A inclusion < type C incl...

Pitting edema is the clinical manifestation generally presented due to long standing, especially during summer in the sun, heavy weight bearing, vasodilatation, or cardio-hepatorenal disease or in rare hypothyroidism, but in atypical case may demonstrates depression with progressive stress, that also shows indication of mild pitting edema. We present a case of a non-alcoholic 42 years divorced ...
