Using Machine Learning for Non-Invasive Detection of Kidney Stones Based on Laboratory Test Results: A Case Study from a Saudi Arabian Hospital.

Kidney stone disease is a widespread urological disorder affecting millions globally. Timely diagnosis is crucial to avoid severe complications. Traditionally, renal stones are detected using computed tomography (CT), which, despite its effectiveness, is costly, resource-intensive, exposes patients to unnecessary radiation, and often results in delays due to radiology report wait times.

A rare primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumour with laparoscopic resection: a case report.

Introduction: Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumours (PHNETs) are a rare form of hepatic neoplasms, and it is difficult to differentiate them from common hepatic malignancies in routine imaging studies.

Presentation Of The Case: We describe the case of a 60-year-old Indian male patient with a tentative preoperative diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nevertheless, the definitive post-operative diagnosis was made by Histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment, which revealed a grade II neuroendocrine tumour (NET) of moderate differentiation.

They were obtained at different time periods (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, and 48 h) at 25 °C.

A synthetic ancestral kinesin-13 depolymerizes microtubules faster than any natural depolymerizing kinesin.

The activity of a kinesin is largely determined by the approximately 350 residue motor domain, and this region alone is sufficient to classify a kinesin as a member of a particular family. The kinesin-13 family are a group of microtubule depolymerizing kinesins and are vital regulators of microtubule length. Kinesin-13s are critical to spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitotic and meiotic cell division and play crucial roles in cilium length control and neuronal development.

Impact of WO-Nanoparticles on Silicone Rubber for Radiation Protection Efficiency.

Silicone rubbers are a good choice for shielding materials because of having elastic and attenuating properties as well as cost-effectiveness. Thus, the aim of this study was to prepare ground-breaking silicone rubber samples by adding WO-nanoparticles and testing the performance of their radiation shielding ability against Cs-137, Co-60, and Am-241 gamma energy. Increasing the concentration of WO nanoparticles in silicone rubber (SR) led to decreasing the half-value layer (HVL) and mean free path (MFP) values determined for the samples tested.

Determination of U and K Radionuclide Concentrations in Some Granite Rocks by Gamma Spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis.

Uranium-238 (U) and potassium-40 (K) are important naturally occurring radionuclides. Gamma spectroscopy is a direct, non-destructive method used to determine radionuclide concentrations, but it suffers from the interference of gamma lines. K gamma spectroscopy is affected by background interference, which leads to a reduction in the minimum detectable activity.

A Study on the Gamma Radiation Protection Effectiveness of Nano/Micro-MgO-Reinforced Novel Silicon Rubber for Medical Applications.

In this work, we examined novel polymer composites for use in radiation protection applications. These prepared polymers are non-toxic compared with lead and show potential to be used as protective gear in different medical applications where low-energy photons are utilized. We prepared silicon rubber (SR) with different concentrations of micro- and nano-sized MgO.

Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratios in Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Inflammation plays a role in the etiopathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A retrospective case-control study was conducted to assess the significance of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a systemic inflammatory indicator in dry AMD. Clinical diagnosis and complete blood count (CBC) results were extracted from medical records for patients with dry AMD and age/sex-matched controls.

Effect of Gamma Irradiation on the Structural, Optical, Electrical, and Ferroelectric Characterizations of Bismuth-Modified Barium Titanate Ceramics.

Materials with ferroelectric properties, low bandgap energies, high polarization, low loss, and thermal stability are essential for future solar-cell applications. Researchers have attempted to obtain such materials by using several approaches. In this vein, a novel approach is reported in this work using gamma ray irradiation.

Structural and Magnetic Phase Transitions in BiFeMnO Solid Solution Driven by Temperature.

The crystal structure and magnetic state of the (1 − x)BiFeO3-(x)BiMnO3 solid solution has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction using lab-based and synchrotron radiation facilities, magnetization measurements, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Dopant concentration increases lead to the room-temperature structural transitions from the polar-active rhombohedral phase to the antipolar orthorhombic phase, and then to the monoclinic phase accompanied by the formation of two-phase regions consisting of the adjacent structural phases in the concentration ranges 0.25 < x1 < 0.

Absorption and desorption of hydrogen in TiCrMnFeRE: experiments, characterization and analytical interpretation using statistical physics treatment.

In this work, the absorption and desorption isotherms of hydrogen on TiCrMnFeRE (RE = La, Ce, Ho) metals were collected at three temperatures under the same experimental conditions. This was carried out in order to determine the rare earth effect on the hydrogen storage performance of the TiCrMnFe metal. The equilibrium data showing the hydrogen absorbed/released amounts per unit of absorbent mass have provided useful details to describe the absorption/desorption processes.
