INTRODUCTION: Herniated Nucleus Pulposus is displacement of disc material beyond the intervertebral disc normal margins resulting in pain, weakness or numbness following the myptomal or dermatomal distribution. We present a patient with severe L4/L5 herniated nucleus pulposis who presented with “postural kyphoscoliosis” CASE REPORT: Mr YMC, a 2

Telemedicine is one of the most emerging technologies of applied medical sciences. Medical information related to patients is transmitted and stored for references and consultations. Medical images occupy huge space; in order to transmit these images may delay the process of image transmission in critical times. Image compression techniques provide

However, this method is time-consuming, cost intensive, and does not lead to information on the originality of honey. This study aims to classify raw stingless bee honeys by bee species origins as a potential classifier using the NMR-LCMS-based meta

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been synthesized via a straightforward hydrothermal route. Calcium oxide and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate were used as calcium and phosphate precursors. The precursors were refluxed in distilled water at 90–100 °C and dried overnight until the calcium phosphate powder was formed. CPC was then produced by mixin
