A Privacy-Preserving, Two-Party, Secure Computation Mechanism for Consensus-Based Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in the Smart Grid.

Consumers in electricity markets are becoming more proactive because of the rapid development of demand-response management and distributed energy resources, which boost the transformation of peer-to-peer (P2P) energy-trading mechanisms. However, in the P2P negotiation process, it is a challenging task to prevent private information from being attacked by malicious agents. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving, two-party, secure computation mechanism for consensus-based P2P energy trading.

Surface-projection-based transperineal cognitive fusion targeted biopsy of the prostate: an original technique with a good cancer detection rate.

Background: To report a new standardized cognitive fusion technique on transperineal targeted biopsy (TB) of prostate, and to evaluate its efficacy for cancer detection combined with systematic biopsy (SB) .

Methods: We present a retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) imaging of the prostate with subsequent transperineal prostate biopsy from January 2016 to December 2018. A free-hand 12-core SB was performed for each patient.

microRNA-16 Via Twist1 Inhibits EMT Induced by PM2.5 Exposure in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Epidemiological study has confirmed that PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm) is associated with the incidence and progression of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and irritable bowel syndrome: a meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies.

Introduction: While several epidemiologic studies have investigated the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it remains unclear. To investigate the relationship between IBS and LUTS, a systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies was carried out.

Evidence Acquisition: Online databases were searched up to December 1st, 2017 for cross-sectional studies that evaluated the association between IBS and the risk of LUTS.
