Wind turbine control is critical in power generation from wind, thus assuring great efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This has been a subject of intense research, and its advancements are critical to developing even better and efficient wind turbines. This research looks at several passive flow control mechanisms for horizontal wind turbines.

SWTs have the additional advantage of being installed anywhere without considering their surroundings, as they do not need to be located facing the wind direction. The present work introduces various designs of the rotor of the seashell wind turbine to achieve the greatest performance.

A best evidence topic in thoracic surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was in [patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy for myasthenia gravis (MG)] is a [left-sided approach] superior to a [right-sided approach] in terms of [clinical outcome]? Two hundred and fifty-nine papers were found using the reported search. In looking at both procedures, we selected studies with a sizeable number of patients performing or studying both procedures and comparing their outcome.

Spondylodiscitis (SD) is a destructive discovertebral lesion which is uncommon, but well recognised as a complication of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), and also called the Andersson lesion. This prospective study described 24 cases of AS, 12 of them with SD with variable clinical presentation and radiological appearance (SD). Two had multiple lesions, in one patient spondylodiscitis was the presenting symptom of AS.
