Introduction: Pain during colonoscopy, especially in children, including the challenges faced by the medical team. The aim of study was investigation the analgesic effect Supermint oil (peppermint oil) on pain in children during colonoscopy. Methods and Materials: In this clinical trial study, 101 children (7-14 years old) candidate colonoscopy were randomly divided into two groups, respectivel...

Silicon (Si) is important in mitigating abiotic and biotic plant stresses, yet many agricultural soils, such as those of the rainfed production areas of the South African sugar industry, are deficient in plant-available Si, making Si supplementation necessary. However, Si uptake by sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is limited even where silicate amendments improve soil Si status. Rhizosphere p...

Objective: 10-Year survival (10YS) after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (LC) pa­tients (LCP) (T1-4N0-2M0) was analyzed. Methods: We analyzed data of 768 consecutive LCP (age=57.6±8.3 years; tumor size=4.1±2.4 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1985-2021 (m=660, f=108; upper lobectomies=277, lower lobectomies=177, middle lobectomies=18, bilobectomies=42, pneumonectomies...

The goal of this work is to develop a gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation functional of Kohn-Sham density functional theory for treating molecular problems with a special emphasis on the prediction of quantities important for homogeneous catalysis and other molecular energetics. Our training and validation of exchange-correlation functionals is organized in terms of databases and...

We examined factors significantly affecting gastric cancer (EC) patients (GCP) survival. analyzed data of 799 consecutive GCP (T1-4N0-2M0) (age=57.1±9.4 years; tumor size=5.4±3.1 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2022 (m=558, f=241; total gastrectomies=173, distal gastrectomies=461; proximal gastrectomies=165; combined gastrectomies=247 with resection esophagus, pancreas, liver,...
