Informal education via social media plays a crucial role in modern learning, offering self-directed and community-driven opportunities to gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes beyond traditional educational settings. These platforms provide access to a broad range of learning materials, such as tutorials, blogs, forums, and interactive content, making education more accessible and tailored to individual interests and needs. However, challenges like information overload and the spread of misinformation highlight the importance of digital literacy in ensuring users can critically evaluate the credibility of information.

Methods: In this report, we describe the case of a 22-year-old pregnant patient who presented with apparent loss of foetal movement at 38 weeks' gestation.
COVID-19 is a pandemic respiratory illness. The disease spreads from human to human and is caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we formulate a mathematical model of COVID-19 and discuss the disease free state and endemic equilibrium of the model.

With help of sensitivity analysis of the reproduction number the most sensitive parameters regarding transmission of infection are found.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIn this work we focus on the eradication of the COVID-19 infection with the help of almost Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs), using mathematical modelling. First the basic reproduction number is investigated. Then, on the basis of sensitivity test of , the most active/sensitive parameters are presented in detail.

Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study assessed all consecutive patients with type 1a endoleak and pre-existing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) treated with fenestrated Anaconda stent grafts. Ten patients (9 males; mean age 78 y) with mean follow-up of 22.
Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (p-NETs) are an important disease entity and comprise of peptide-secreting tumours often with a functional syndrome. Accounting for a small percentage of all pancreatic tumours, they have a good overall survival rate when diagnosed early, with surgery being curative. The role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of these tumours is evident.

September 2019
Phytoremediation is an important technique to remove heavy metals from contaminated soils due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The present study was conducted to assess the synergistic role of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and citric acid (CA) in improving the phyto-extraction of chromium (Cr) by sunflower. Sunflower plants were grown in soil, spiked with different concentrations of Cr (0, 5, 10, 20 mg kg).

To do this, first, a model formulation is presented to support these strategies, with quantifications of transmission and intervention parameters. To understand the nature of the initial transmission of the disease, the reproduction number [Formula: see text] is obtained by using the next-generation method.

The threshold condition R0 for initial transmission of infection is obtained by next generation method. Biological sense of the threshold condition is investigated and discussed in detail.
