Background: The use of sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) has been proposed for screening cardio-metabolic risk factors; however, its accuracy can be influenced by the choice of Astragalus thresholds values.Aim: To determine the SAD threshold values for cardio-metabolic risk factors in Mexican adults; to assess whether parallel and serial SAD testin
Aim: To evaluate the utility of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in sputum smear negative patients with clinical and radiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out in 30 sputum smear negative patients of age group 20 to 70 years, who we
Willow species have been suggested for use in the remediation of contaminated soils due to their high biomass production, fast growth, and high accumulation of heavy metals.The tolerance and accumulation of metals Drain Bags and Pouches may vary among willow species and varieties, and the assessment of this variability is vital for selecting willow
In earlier papers, we presented a binary evolutionary code for the purpose of reproducing the orbital parameters, masses, radii, and location in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram (abbreviated as HRD) of well-observed Algol systems.In subsequent versions, the effects of mass and angular momentum losses and tidal coupling were included in order to prod
ObjectivesThe aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of perampanel (PER) as first add-on and as second Brushes and Scrubbers line monotherapy in subjects with childhood absence epilepsy.MethodsOur sample consisted of 20 patients with childhood absence epilepsy, aged between 8 and 10, already in therapy with a first anti
