BACKGROUND Medical apps are widely available, increasingly used by patients and clinicians, and are being actively promoted for use in routine care. However, there is little systematic evidence exploring possible risks associated with apps intended for patient use. Because self-medication errors are a recognized source of avoidable harm, apps that affect medication use, such as dose calculators...

Abstract Pure erythroid leukemia (PEL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of acute myeloid with poor prognosis. The diagnosis PEL often medically urgent, quite challenging, and typically exclusion requiring meticulous distinction from non-neoplastic proliferations, particularly florid hyperplasia/regeneration. Given the frequency TP53 mutations in molecular signature PEL, we hypothesize that differe...

Background: Some skin diseases cause severe stress in patients and relieving these stresses greatly helps to treat the underlying disease and to prevent the recrudescence of it. Objectives: To determine the frequency of depression in patients suffering from vitiligo. Patients and Methods: 120 patients with a clinical diagnosis of vitiligo referred to dermatologic clinics in Kerman from 13...

Cusped-field Hall thrusters (CFHT) have significant potential for use in many space missions due to their simplicity, long life and high efficiency. CFHT-27, designed developed at the Bogazici University Space Technologies Laboratory (BUSTLab), is a prototype CFHT with 27-mm diameter discharge channel. CFHT-27 utilizes samarium-cobalt (SmCo) permanent magnets. The thrust efficiency of cusped-fi...

In order to establish the natural evolution of unstable angina under medical treatment and to determine the possible benefits of revascularization surgery, 113 patients were studied; 51 received medical treatment (24 with intermediate syndrome and 27 with progressive angina), and 62 others received surgical treatment (28 with intermediate syndrome and 34 with progressive angina). After a mean f...
