Aim: The sigmoid notch additionally known as the mandibular notch is a deep notch setting apart the coronoid process and the condyle.Different morphological variations of sigmoid notch (wide, round and sloping) have been documented in literature as indispensable aids in anthropological and forensic research.The study aimed to assess the morphologic

Many HIV treatment programs in resource-limited settings are plagued by high rates of loss to follow-up (LTFU).Most studies have not distinguished between those who briefly interrupt, but return to care, and those more chronically lost to follow-up.We conducted RTR a retrospective cohort study of 11,397 adults initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART

Vegetable oils extracted from nuts are a useful source of raw materials for the paint industry.Alkyd resins were synthesised with a content of 50 wt% soybean oil.The synthesised alkyd resins were evaluated by Fourier trans- form infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).Particle size was determined using dynamic light sca

A multiscale method is presented to develop a constitutive model for anisotropic soils in a three-dimensional (3D) stress state.A fabric tensor and its evolution, which quantify the particle arrangement at the OATMEAL microscale, are adopted to describe the effects of the inherent and induced anisotropy on the mechanical behaviors at the macroscale

Abstract Background Miyoshi myopathy (MM) is an autosomal recessive distal myopathy characterized by early adult onset.Cardiomyopathy is a major clinical manifestation in other muscular dystrophies and an important prognostic factor.Although dysferlin is highly expressed in cardiac muscle, the effect of dysferlin deficiency in cardiac muscle has no
