introduction: the lymphatic system provides one of the main paths for the spread (metastasis) of cancer from one part of body to another. hodgkin’s diseases, lymphocytic leukemia, various metastatic disease and many lymph node disorders can be assessed by lymphoscintigraphy. radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy has been used for many years to define lymphatic drainage of melanoma. the most common ra...

Potential release of soil colloids into groundwater has attracted considerable attention because of their association with heavy metals. Much effort has been focused on using colloid-depositionbased parameters (batch experiment) to predict colloid release in soils (column experiment), though they are two separate processes. In this paper, relative colloid stability ratio was estimated and used ...

Effective use of colloid transport models for heterogeneous subsurface porous media requires the development of methodologies to identify the key model parameters. The inverse problem of a two-dimensional model for colloid transport in geochemically heterogeneous porous media is systematically investigated in this paper. Sensitivity analysis prior to the parameter identification provided valuab...

familial colloid cyst of the third ventricle is very rare. this is one of the two largest families reported and the first in which all affected members are siblings. one asymptomatic sister was found by screening, emphasizing the value of screening. a brother and two sisters from a family consisting of three brothers and three sisters who were diagnosed as having colloid cyst of the third ventr...

A conceptual model for colloid transport is developed that accounts for colloid attachment straining, and exclusion. Colloid attachment and detachment is modeled using first-order rate expressions, whereas straining is described using an irreversible first-order straining term that is depth dependent. Exclusion is modeled by adjusting transport parameters for colloid-accessible pore space. Fitt...

purpose: the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic neurosurgery for patients with third ventricular colloid cysts without ventriculomegaly. methods: seventy-one patients with third ventricular colloid cysts were identified and recruited to this study. eighteen of these patients did not have concomitant hydrocephalus and underwent primary endoscopic...

In this research, cerium recycling was studied by Adsorbing Colloid Flotation (ACF). Ten important parameters including collector type and dosage, cerium and colloid concentrations, frother type, activator type, preparation and frothing time, air flowrate and pH, each in two levels, were investigated. Statistical design of experiment was implemented for process modelling and analysis of var...
