Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Delayed recognition of sepsis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Monocyte distribution width (MDW) represents the width of a set of monocyte volume values, which increases as infections progress in severity. This study evaluated the diagnostic and p

The interest in halal cosmetics has acquired significant force in the new-fashioned era. The decisive moments focused on increasing demand are expanding the Muslim populace and consumers’ interest in uncontaminated, hygienic, and pure applications to human body cosmetics.

Testing the structural integrity of pipelines is a crucial maintenance task in the oil and gas industry. This structural integrity could be compromised by corrosions that occur in the pipeline wall. They could cause catastrophic accidents and are very hard to detect due to the presence of insulation and cladding around the pipeline. This corrosion

There is increased usage of flexible electronics recently in various applications such as wearable devices, flexible displays and sensors. Studies on the durability of conductive metal traces under cyclic mechanical loading is crucial since these conductors will be subjected to repeated bending. In this work, the mechanical and electrical behavior

Introduction: Wilms’t tumour is the commonest renal tumour in children. With a predisposition of forming tumour thrombus in blood vessels, tumour extension into renal veins and inferior vena cava (IVC) has been reported in up to 10% of cases. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to promote intracaval tumour regression, however in cases of pers
