We describe the case of a 5-year-old girl whose abdominal pain and distension were caused by Wilms tumor of the kidney. Because of the bilateral nature of her disease, she was spared biopsy or initial nephrectomy as part of her treatment course. Rather, she was treated presumptively for Wilms tumor based primarily on radiologic findings. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of vincristine, dacti...

Abstract Recently, though graphene oxide (GO) has shown promising applications in many fields, there have not been studies focusing on exploiting the source of synthetic precursors GO. Herein, GO was synthesized from cellulose corncob by alkalization, bleaching cellulose, pyrolysis, and improved Hummer's method. It found that pyrolysis plays an important role graphitization with catalyst Fe(NO ...

The key aspect of minimizing the descent of quality and productivity in papermaking is to identify the origins of scale and to realize the appropriate treatment. Scale derived from calcium, silicon and aluminium is most commonly reckoned and easily collected. In the present study, we focus our attention on another serious situation of such adherent scale as barium sulfate, of which boil-out tre...

Deterioration of reinforced concrete members and their repair methods have been reported in various concrete published reports. Electrodeposition method is one of these repair methods for repairing deteriorated concrete members using an electrochemical mechanism. The purposes of the electrodeposition method are to fill cracks in concrete and to coat the concrete surface by electrodeposits of ch...

Traditional alkalization, essential for darkening color, modifying flavor and increasing cocoa powder solubility, is a discontinuous time-consuming technique that employs considerable energy. We herein propose extrusion as promising alternative to improve increase the sustainability of traditional process. The aims this work were twofold: on one hand, characterise effects alkalised physico-chem...

The study shows that multiaxial deformation (MAD) treatment leads to grain refinement in magnesium alloy WE43. Compared the initial state, MAD-processed exhibited smoother biocorrosion dynamics a fetal bovine serum and complete cell growth medium. Examination by microCT demonstrated retardation of decline volume Hounsfield unit values. An attendant reduction rate accumulation biodegradation pro...
