Abstract Background Recurrence of cancer after curative surgery is a major problem after most cancer treatments.Increased sympathetic activity during the perioperative period could promote cancer cell invasion to blood vessels and angiogenesis, resulting in cancer metastasis.Recent studies showed that use of beta blockers can be associated with the
Phantom with Pulsatile Arteries to Investigate the Influence of Blood Vessel Depth on Pulse Oximeter Signal Strength
This paper describes a three-layer head phantom with artificial pulsating arteries at five different depths (1.2 mm, 3.7 mm, 6.8 mm, 9.6 mm and 11.8 mm).The structure enables formation of spatially and temporally varying tissue properties similar to those of living tissues.In our experiment, pressure pulses were generated in the arteries by an elec
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the bladder: a case report and review of the literature
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are rare neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential that closely resemble other more aggressive spindle cell tumours.The distinction of IMT from the latter is of importance.We report a case of IMT in a 27-year-old man who presented with intermittent painless, macroscopic haematuria and was found to have 2
How Prevalent Are Autistic Traits Among Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder? A Qualitative Review of the Literature
Background: Twin, family, and linkage studies have indicated that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) share a portion of their heritable etiology.This suggests that individuals with ADHD bempresas.com may manifest different forms of ASDs that may range from socksmith santa cruz fully developed syndro
Low Cost Interconnected Architecture for the Hardware Spiking Neural Networks
A novel low cost interconnected architecture (LCIA) is proposed in this paper, which is an efficient solution for the neuron interconnections for the hardware spiking neural networks (SNNs).It is based on an all-to-all connection that takes each paired input and output nodes of multi-layer SNNs as the source and destination 15-eg2373cl of connectio
