Introduction.Currently, the type 2 diabetes mellitus is in the nature of an epidemic of non-infectious etiology.In this regard, the incidence of diabetes mellitus complications, including diabetic nephropathy, which lead to end-stage chronic renal disease, is also increasing.The treatment of type 2 diabetic patients with end-stage chronic renal dis
Prognostic value of lymph node to primary tumor standardized uptake value ratio in unresectable esophageal cancer
Abstract Background Unresectable esophageal cancer harbors high mortality despite chemoradiotherapy.Better patient selection for more personalized management may result in better treatment outcomes.We presume the ratio of maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of metastatic lymph nodes to primary tumor (NTR) in 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose posi
Legislation has Changed But Issues Remain: Provider Perceptions of Caring for People Who Use Cannabis During Pregnancy in Safety Net Health Settings, a Qualitative Pilot Study
Objective: To identify perceptions of cannabis use and risk among maternal health providers who provide care for people who use cannabis during pregnancy in safety-net health settings.Methods: Using qualitative, constructivist ground theory methods, we conducted semistructured remote interviews with 10 providers (2 midwives, 6 OB/GYN physicians, an
LES of Internal Combustion Engine Flows Using Cartesian Overset Grids
Accurate computations of turbulent flows using the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) technique with an appropriate SubFilter Scale (SFS) model require low artificial dissipation such that the physical energy cascade process is not perturbed by numerical artifacts.To realize this in practical simulations, energy-conserving numerical schemes and high-quali
