Recent data reported that 21.5% of medical students in the United States of America (USA) are Asian American (AA). With the growing focus on developing medical school wellness programs, authors conducted a sys...
Article
The optimal management of suspected penile fractures post collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) remains indeterminate, with some advocating for observation and others surgical repair. To address this issu...

This paper describes the application of Deep Mixing Method (DMM) for the mitigation of potential hazards induced by natural disasters such as hurricane-induced ground flooding and seismic ground shaking for tw...
Article
The Notch signaling pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of human cancers, including hematopoietic malignancies. Its functions are highly dependent on the specific cellular context. Gain-...
Article
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are highly infectious viruses for which water is an important medium of transmission. In this study, we explored a new in situ capture RT-qPCR (ISC-RT-qPCR) methodology to estimate t...

Chapter
Each improvement of radionuclide imaging modalities (positron emission tomography, PET; single-photon emission computed tomography, SPECT) is dependent upon the development of tumor-specific radiopharmaceutica...
Chapter
Theranostics is a novel concept that refers to the integration of diagnostics with therapeutics in order to generate personalized therapies and is emerging as a promising precise therapeutic paradigm. In oncol...
Article
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane is closely apposed to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM), which facilitates communication between these organelles. These contacts, known as mitochondria-associated ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A driving point dynamic load non destructive test can be used to determine the modal stiffness, damping and mass of a structure. If the constitutive equations of viscoelasticity consist of a combination of tim...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A driving point dynamic load non destructive test can be used to determine a structure’s first modal stiffness and indirectly the material’s coefficient of elasticity. Such a dynamic test will be shown to be t...
Article
Effective prophylaxis and treatment for infections caused by biological threat agents (BTA) rely upon early diagnosis and rapid initiation of therapy. Most methods for identifying pathogens in body fluids and ...
Article
We determined the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with atypical clinical presentations and unexpected elevation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels.
Article
Innate immunity is considered the first line of host defense and microglia presumably play a critical role in mediating potent innate immune responses to traumatic and infectious challenges in the human brain....
Article
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is over expressed in approximately 50–60% of glioblastoma (GBM) tumors, and the most common EGFR mutant, EGFRvIII, is expressed in 24–67% of cases. This study was de...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The organization of a web site is important to help users get the most out of the site. Designing such an organization, however, is a complicated problem. Traditionally, this design is mainly done by hand. To ...
