OBJECTIVES This study was designed to estimate the improved accuracy of prostate cancer (PCa) detection resulting from additional midline biopsies of the peripheral zone in first standard biopsy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were classified into 3 groups: 402 cases of sextant biopsies (1995-2002), 488 cases of 8-core biopsies with 2 additional midline biopsies (2003-2006), and 391 cases of 1...

A flow injection spectrophotometric procedure with on-line solid-phase reactor containing ion triiodide immobilized in an anion-exchange resin is proposed for the determination of adrenaline (epinephrine) in pharmaceutical products. Adrenaline is oxidized by triiodide ion immobilized in an anionic-exchange resin yielding adrenochrome which is transported by the carrier solution and detected at ...

Abstract. Here we describe the LegacyPollen 1.0, a dataset of 2831 fossil pollen records with metadata, harmonized taxonomy, and standardized chronologies. A total 1032 originate from North America, 1075 Europe, 488 Asia, 150 Latin 54 Africa, 32 Indo-Pacific. The data cover late Quaternary (mostly Holocene). original 10 110 taxa names (including variations in notations) were to 1002 terrestrial...

Abstract In this work, lead(II) adsorption on activated carbons, tire-derived carbon (TAC), and commercial (CAC), in a packed-bed column, was simulated using the Aspen Adsorption® V11 flowsheet simulator. The simulator used to model fixed-bed column establish breakthrough curves by varying initial concentration of ions (500 mg/L, 1000 2000 3000 mg/L), bed height (0.2 m, 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 m), flow...

A discharge case record (ICD-10) based retrospective study for a calendar year was carried out in one of the biggest tertiary care hospitals of Delhi, India. Of 5856 adolescent admissions, 53.77% were males and 46.22% were females. The respective proportion of adolescent admission and death recorded was 7.5% and 5.2%. The average monthly adolescent admissions were 488 (range: 304-648), and 47% ...
