Telemedicine (other than costly long distance telephone and facsimile messages) in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) started approximately 4 years ago with the establishment of Internet access in the State of Yap. A local access, for medical use only, via already established trunk lines maintained by Continental…

The aim of this work was to study the rat's hippocampal formation by applying the light microscopic methods. The histological methods used to explore this region of the rat's brain were the Nissl technique, the Bielschowsky block impregnation method and the rapid Golgi technique. In the Nissl preparations, we identifie…

Early diagnosis of expansive formations enables efficient therapy and maximal reduction of remaining neurological damage. Schwannoma situated entirely within the inner auditory canal with free pontocerebellar angle is a rather rare event. Of significant diagnostical help are auditory evoked potentials (AEP), computeris…

BACKGROUND: Angiogenetic factors play an important role in the formation of new blood vessels involved in the growth and metastatic spread of solid tumors, but there is limited information regarding the clinical significance of serum bFGF levels in gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Serum bFGF concentratio…

UNLABELLED: The aim of the study was to compare the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before and at the 1st day after the cataract surgery for mature or the hard nuclear cataract. The phacoprobe NeoSoniX equipment Legacy (Alcon Laboratories) was used for the cataract surgery. Trypan blue for vital staining of the ant…

Disorders of haemostasis and haemocoagulation are often seen in patients with cancer as a part of paraneoplastic syndrome. Thrombotic and/or haemorrhagic complications are the second most common cause of mortality in patients with cancer. The evaluation of the haemostatic parameters of 67 patients with gastric cancer h…

BACKGROUND: Early and excessive alcohol use is a significant threat to healthy development. Evidence supports the effectiveness of electronic alcohol interventions for young drinkers. However, effects are typically small and studies targeting under 18-year-olds are scarce. This trial is the first to evaluate the effect…

To investigate the role of potent MAO-B inhibitor deprenyl in fertilized females, we have evaluated the effect of chronic treatment with deprenyl at a low dosage on preimplantation embryo development in Wistar rats. We have found that the number of isolated embryos per rat did not differ between experimental and contro…

Hierarchical classification of biotechnology R&D projects is critical for strategic planning and national R&D resource allocation, yet remains challenging due to fine-grained hierarchical taxonomies, severe class imbalance, and the cost of large language model (LLM) inference at scale. We propose EnergyRoute, an uncert…

It is shown that for any full column rank matrix X 0 with more rows than columns there is a neighborhood [Formula: see text] of X 0 and a continuous function f on [Formula: see text] such that f(X) is an orthogonal complement of X for all X in [Formula: see text]. This is used to derive a distribution free goodness of…

The information on several environmental public health journal homepages has been assessed for its quality and quantity, using selected key criteria. These criteria included the extent of text available, the ability to search the website, the table of contents free via email, and the presence of hyper-links. A high deg…

Many authors have reported on the use of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) to match concepts in free text. Unmatched search strings may be due to misspellings, concepts not in the UMLS, or searches for words not expected to be in the UMLS (e.g., names of people or places). We mapped search strings from a full-…

The concept of emergency medical transport originated from the need to move wounded soldiers from the battlefield to aid stations and other medical facilities (Ref. 11). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

An unusual case of early nephrotic syndrome without hypertension which slightly resolved after delivery is documented. Renal biopsy was performed postpartum and the diagnosis was focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis with moderate chronic renal changes. It is questioned whether the case was due to preeclampsia or was…

It is now obvious that the rate-limiting step in high throughput experimentation is neither data acquisition nor analysis, but rather our ability to interpret data on a genome-wide scale. Indeed, the explosion of data sampling capacity combined with increasing publication rates greatly impairs our ability to find meani…

The original histological investigation that forms the basis of our present understanding of tooth movement was carried out on dogs by the Swedish dentist Carl Sandstedt at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. His findings were published in 1901 as a monograph in Swedish, and shortly after his death in 1904, as three a…

We describe successful use of enteral sildenafil following surgery for congenital heart disease in three cases. One infant after repair of ventricular septal defect and aortic coarctation had pulmonary hypertension non-responsive to nitric oxide, another infant and 3.5 year child following palliative surgery for congen…

MOTIVATION: Wnt signaling is a very active area of research with highly relevant publications appearing at a rate of more than one per day. Building and maintaining databases describing signal transduction networks is a time-consuming and demanding task that requires careful literature analysis and extensive domain-spe…

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare tumor, derived from antigen-presenting cells that normally form meshworks in lymphoid follicles. FDCS in general recapitulate the immunophenotypic profile of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). This tumor affects mainly the lymph nodes, but may arise at a variety of ext…

In the present case, ultrasound examination ruled out the presence of hematosalpinx or other gynecological tumors. This was of great importance to the surgical intervention, especially for avoiding laparotomy. Dilatation of the vagina and uterus, due to imperforate hymen with retrograde menstruation should be considere…
