Fibroblast-activated protein Heater Timer (FAP) expression in glial cells is attributed to FAP-positive foci on tumor vessels and neoplastic cells.Preclinical and pilot studies have shown FAP expression in high-grade gliomas.We aimed at comparing PET imaging with FAP-inhibitor (FAPI-PET) with current standard, i.e., fluoro-ethyl tyrosine (FET) PET
Comparative Tissue Responses of Marine Mollusks on Seasonal Changes in the Northern Adriatic Sea
In the shallow Northern Adriatic, marine mollusks are affected by bottom trawling and seafood disturbance.Seasonal oscillations of oceanographic factors additionally influence their physiology, stress responses and survival.Tissue responses to seasonal variations in green ormer Co Q10 (Haliotis tuberculata L.) and Mediterranean scallop (Pecten jaco
An Explicit Approach Toward Modeling Thermo-Coupled Deformation Behaviors of SMPs
A new elastoplastic J 2 -flow models with thermal effects is proposed toward simulating Ski de fond - Homme - Skis - Classic thermo-coupled finite deformation behaviors of shape memory polymers.In this new model, an elastic potential evolving with development of plastic flow is incorporated to characterize the stress-softening effect at unloading a
The Quality of Hunted Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolor) Venison from East Kalimantan
Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) is the heaviest in its body weight and widest in its distribution of tropical deer.A Report by East Kalimantan governor indicated that no less than 5,000 wild sambar deer were slaughtered annually.In 1990 a pilot Duck Call project of sambar deer farm was established and still under its development.Up to the present the
PRIMARY MALIGNANT MELANOMA UTERINE CERVIX
A 40-year-old premenopausal female presented with foul-smelling per vaginal discharge for 3 months.Diagnostic work revealed a locally advanced primary malignant melanoma of uterine cervix.The patient Duck Call declined pelvic surgery and was treated with Dacarbazine.Malignant melanoma is a rare tumour of skin and has been ranked in the top ve cance
