The number of patients living with hematological malignancies (HMs) has increased steadily over time. This is the result of intensive and effective treatments that also increase the probability of infiltrative, infectious or toxic life threatening event. Over the last two decades, the number of patients with HMs admitted to the ICU increased and their mortality has dropped sharply. ICU patients...

Hydrothermal treatment (HTT) at 200°C was applied to immobilize heavy metals (HMs) and the effect of rice husk (RH) addition was investigated based on total HMs concentration, fractionation and leaching tests. The results indicated that a synergistic effect of RH addition and HTT could be achieved on reducing the risk of HMs from medium and low risk to no risk. Metals were redistributed and tra...

most of the targeted heavy metals (hms) in sewage sludge ended up in solid residues after pyrolysis and gasification, such as Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni and Pb, which their residual rates were over 70%. The bioavailability of the hms in residues decreased despite their concentrations being higher compared with in sludge. The potential eco-toxicity of each HM were ceased after pyrolysis and gasification of ...

Haim Munk Syndrome (HMS) is the allelic mutation of exon 6 codon in cathepsin C gene. Here, we present two cases of same family with HMS having all the cardinal features of HMS which includes palmo plantar keratoderma and periodontitis along with arachnodactyly, acroosteolysis, onychogryphosis, and marked osteopenia on hand wrist radiographs. Both the siblings were treated with cotrimoxazole, a...

BACKGROUND Sfax is a very industrialized city located in the southern region of Tunisia where heavy metals (HMs) pollution is now an established matter of fact. The health of its residents mainly those engaged in industrial metals-based activities is under threat. Indeed, such workers are being exposed to a variety of HMs mixtures, and this exposure has cumulative properties. Whereas current HM...

We examined 46 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 52 hepatitis C virus (HCV) biopsy specimens to determine the magnitude of fibrosis heterogeneity and minimum length for accurate fibrosis staging. Three fibrosis scores were recorded: lowest regional, highest regional, and most common overall. Mean specimen lengths were 1.6 and 1.8 cm in NASH and HCV, respectively (P = .283). Mean (highest ...

Three different water-alcohol cosolvent systems were used to assemble mesoporous molecular sieve silicas with wormhole framework structures (previously denoted HMS silicas) from an electrically neutral amine surfactant (S°) and a silicon alkoxide precursor (I°). The fundamental particle size and associated textural (interparticle) porosity of the disordered structures were correlated with the s...

abstract one of the techniques that has been used in different areas of sciences, and probably would be able to simulate complicated process of rainfall-run off is artificial neural network (ann). the purpose of this research is to evaluate the applicability of ann in rainfall- run off simulation and the comparison of the results to those produced by hec-hms model in azam river basin of herat i...
