In this report, we present the case of a patient with cervical adenocarcinoma progressive right lower-extremity pain and weakness. Electromyography lower extremities subsequent ultrasonographic imaging complementarily demonstrated findings considered suspicious for perineural spread malignancy to lumbosacral plexus sciatic nerve. This possibility was confirmed by magnetic resonance (MRI) fluoro...

The sorption affinity of iodide on organo-bentonite, modified with hexadecyl pyridinium (HDPy), was investigated the iodine–starch method coupled UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy. complex optimized in terms reaction time and sample compositions, based absorbance. batch experiment for organo-bentonites, using two different loading amounts HDPy, conducted to analyze influence equilibrium time, liqu...

We study how reliably generalized synchronization can be detected and characterized from time-series analysis. To that end, we analyze synchronization in a generalized sense of delay-coupled chaotic oscillators in unidirectional ring configurations. The generalized synchronization condition can be verified via the auxiliary system approach; however, in practice, this might not always be possibl...

Separating digestive and urinary outlets is a critical step during mammalian embryogenesis. However, the natural history of these structures is poorly studied, and little is known about their embryonic origin. Here, we show that peri-cloacal mesenchymal (PCM) progenitors are the major source of these structures. Surprisingly, PCM progenitors also contribute to perineum, a structural barrier sep...

User interest inference from social networks is a fundamental problem to many applications. It usually exhibits dual-heterogeneities: a user’s interests are complementarily and comprehensively reflected by multiple social networks; interests are inter-correlated in a nonuniform way rather than independent to each other. Although great success has been achieved by previous approaches, few of the...

Calcium pyrophosphate hydrate (CPP, Ca(2)P(2)O(7) · nH2O) and calcium orthophosphate compounds (including apatite, octacalcium phosphate etc.) are among the most prevalent pathological calcifications in joints. Even though only two dihydrated forms of CPP (CPPD) have been detected in vivo (monoclinic and triclinic CPPD), investigations of other hydrated forms such as tetrahydrated or amorphous ...

UNLABELLED CRISPRdirect is a simple and functional web server for selecting rational CRISPR/Cas targets from an input sequence. The CRISPR/Cas system is a promising technique for genome engineering which allows target-specific cleavage of genomic DNA guided by Cas9 nuclease in complex with a guide RNA (gRNA), that complementarily binds to a ∼ 20 nt targeted sequence. The target sequence require...

Nonequilibrium electron dynamics in solids is an important subject from both fundamental and technological points of view. The recent development laser technology has enabled us to study ultrafast the time domain. First-principles calculation a powerful tool for analyzing such complex clarifying physics behind experimental observation. In this article, we review first-principles light-induced b...

For a better understanding of the previously observed increased natural radioactivity at confluence Varzob and Sioma rivers, Central Tajikistan, activity concentration radioactive 40K, Th U daughters as well anthropogenic 137Cs were determined in nine locations covering entire River. The radiometric determinations evidenced, addition to concentrations daughter radionuclides, an anomalous accumu...
