Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of the APRI and FIB-4 indices in diagnosing cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C, involving 906 participants.
- Individual scores from both indices were tested against standardized cut-off levels, with APRI and FIB-4 showing varying levels of sensitivity and specificity.
- Combining the two methods in a sequential approach improved diagnostic performance, highlighting that using both tools together is more effective for diagnosing cirrhosis than using either one alone.
Cassava starch has acquired many attentions owing to its ability to be developed as thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) where it can be obtained in low cost, making it to be one of alternatives to substitute petroleum-based plastic. An attempt was made to investigate the thermal, mechanical and moisture absorption properties of thermoplastic cassava starch blending with beeswax (TPCS-BW) fabricated using hot moulding compression method in the range of beeswax loading from 0, 2.5, 5 to 10 wt%.

Methods: Trained personnel recorded the names of foods and beverages sold in a local supermarket that contained at least one of the five azo dyes. The occurrence of the azo dyes in the local food supply was computed.
