INTRODUCTION The incidence of skin cancer in heart transplant (HT) patients is higher than in the general population, reversing the proportion of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with a predominance of the former. The etiologic role of new immunosuppressants is not well known. We sought to ascertain the incidence of SCC and BCC in HT patients and the risk f...

This paper develops a theoretical foundation for the social cost of carbon (SCC). The model highlights the source of debate over whether countries should use the global or domestic SCC for regulatory impact analysis. I identify conditions under which a country’s decision to internalize the global SCC is individually rational. Nevertheless, I show that obtaining international consensus on a part...

Abstract This paper explains the bond strength between reinforcing bar and High Volume Fly Ash-Self Compacting Concrete (HVFA-SCC). The is determined by a pull-out test on concrete cube (200x200x200 mm) with single steel centrally placed in following RILEM standard. HVFA-SCC proportioned an inclusion of 50% fly ash weight total binder. satisfies flowability criteria SCC has average compressive ...

RATIONALE Primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare disease. Primary SCC in prolapsed vagina is extremely rare. In the presented case additional bladder involvement was found. PATIENTS CONCERNS Primary vaginal SCC may be misinterpreted as decubitus in prolapsed vagina and it may delay proper diagnosis and treatment. DIAGNOSES Diagnosis was confirmed by the vaginal ulceration b...

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has many advantages compared to traditional concrete. However, it often suffers from high brittleness that limits its various applications. Reinforcing the SCC by fiber inclusion can be a fruitful way enhance performance. This study aims investigate how rheological and mechanical characteristics of are affected addition jute fibers for specific length 20 mm at ...

UNLABELLED FUNDAMENTS: The lethality of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the skin is considered low. SCC in the mouth is usually associated with poor prognosis. Current evidence suggests that mast cells in the normal tissue contribute to the tumorigenesis of SCC, probably by promoting angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of mast cells in SCC of the m...

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of somatic cell count (SCC) thresholds to identify subclinical mastitis in Gyr cows caused by major and minor pathogens; (2) to study the effects of month of sampling, rear or front mammary quarters, herd, intramammary infection (IMI), and bacterial species on SCC at quarter level; and (3) to describe t...

Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the prostate is a rare and recently recognized subtype of prostate cancer. The neuroendocrine component of the prostate carcinoma is becoming more frequently detected in classic adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Clinically, these tumors represent a considerable portion of so called androgen independent prostatic carcinomas. It has been hypothesized that the neuroendo...

Following a theoretical analysis of the scope Nash implementation for given mechanism, we study formal framework computational identification implementability. We provide tools in finite environments. In particular, supply Python codes that identify (i) domain preferences allows by (ii) maximal mechanism implements Pareto efficiency, (iii) all consistent collections sets social choice correspon...

Small cell cancer (SCC) of the tonsil is a rare and aggressive cancer. There are only 10 cases of tonsillar SCC reported in the English literature. We present a case of tonsillar SCC successfully treated with induction chemotherapy using carboplatin and etoposide followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy with cisplatin as radiosensitizer. The patient remained free of recurrence after 3 year...
