Intratonsillar abscess (ITA) is a rare clinical phenomenon in pediatric and adult populations. Even though it is rather uncommon, ITA should be included in the differential diagnosis of tonsillitis, peritonsillitis, and peritonsillar abscess. A computed tomography (CT) scan serves as a diagnostic tool for confirming the presence of an ITA. Needle a

Although over 90 independent risk variants have been identified for Parkinson's disease using genome-wide association studies, most studies have been performed in just one population at a time. Here we performed a large-scale multi-ancestry meta-analysis of Parkinson's disease with 49,049 cases, 18,785 proxy cases and 2,458,063 controls inc

This study investigates the design of a stirred batch reactor with scale-up for the degumming of crude palm oil (CPO) using phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted in a triple-neck round vessel, followed by a scale-up to a larger-scale flat-bottom stirred tank reactor. Traditional scale-up methods using geometric simila
