Abstract Background The intent of this study was to examine and compare the ability to detect change of two patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments that use a computerized adaptive test (CAT) approach to measurement.The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Physical Function scale is a generic PRO, while the Osteoar
Introduction.The only curative therapeutic approach for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is surgery.Laparoscopic surgery for RCC has become an established surgical procedure with equivalent cancer-free survival rate, following the same surgical oncological principles as open surgery.Metastatic RCC of the gallbladder Trailer Adapter is a rare phenomenon.H
Gorillas play important roles in the sustainability of biodiversity and in the cultures of Indigenous communities, offering unique biological behaviors and contributing to forest regeneration.Grauer’s gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri) is one of the flagship species of biodiversity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.In this study, we carried out
Exosomes are vesicles involved in intercellular communication.Their membrane structure and core content is largely dependent on the cell of origin.Exosomes have been investigated both for their biological roles and their possible use as disease biomarkers Mud Flaps and drug carriers.These potential technological applications require the rigorous ch
Autonomous driving has recently been in considerable progress, and many algorithms have been suggested to control the motions of driverless cars.The model predictive controller (MPC) is one of the efficient approaches by which the speed and direction of the near future of an automobile could be predicted and controlled.Even though the MPC is of eno
