BACKGROUND: It is impossible to use the routine skeletal parts for gender identification if the skeleton of unknown human remains is obtained in a fragmented and incomplete state. The alternative is to use other parts of the skeleton for gender ident...
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a moderate low-grade chronic inflammatory condition. The cause of low-grade inflammation in obese patients who have clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA) may be the subject of debate in clinical practice. Our aim is to determine w...
OBJECTIVE: Prophylactic central lymph node dissection(CLND) is a controversial issue in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma( PTMC) patients without lymphatic metastasis. Artificial neural network(ANN) has been proposed as an alternative statistical tech...

A marked delay in the electrical repolarization of heart ventricles is characterized by prolongation of the Q-T wave (QT) interval on a surface electrocardiogram. Such a delay can lead to potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia (torsades de p...
Annually, approximately 20 million men are prostate-specific-antigen screened, and 1.3 million undergo an invasive biopsy to diagnose roughly 200,000 new cases, 50% of which end up being indolent. Approximately 30,000 men die of prostate cancer (PCa)...
