Background: Obesity is a global epidemic.Laparoscopic greater curvature plication [LGCP] is a restrictive surgical procedure described for the first time on 1981 by Wilkinson.Fundectomy is a selective resection of the acid-producing segment of the stomach, with removal of peptide hormone-producing cells [the oxyntic mucosa] as a consequence of PPLR
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy and a major cause of end-stage renal disease in children.The main forms, juvenile and adult NPH, are characterized by tubulointerstitial fibrosis whereas the infantile form is more severe and characterized by cysts.NPH is caused by mutations in over 20 different genes, most of which encode
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.Variations in these conditions are Kit Purificante largely responsible for health inequities, the differences in health status or distribution of health resources within a population.Despite recent increases in attention to SDOH in research and c
This study aims to study some morphological and reproductional characteristics in eleven species of two genera belonging to the family of Asparagaceae, which are Bellevalia Lapeyrouse, 1808 and Ornithogalum Linnaeus, 1753 and the Sea Vegetables species are: Bellevalia chrisii Yildirim and Sahin, 2014; Bellevalia flexuosa Boissier, 1854; Bellevalia
This chapter presents a reliability study for an offshore jacket structure with emphasis on the features of nonconventional modeling.Firstly, a random set model is formulated for modeling the random waves in an ocean site.Then, a jacket structure is investigated in a pushover analysis to identify the critical wave direction and key Kit Purificante
