Blunt chest traumatic coronary artery dissection is an uncommon cause of atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).Injuries of the coronary artery after blunt chest trauma are caused by different mechanisms such as vascular spasm, dissection and intimal tear or rupture of an existing thrombus formation.Chest pain mig

We consider the application of reference-dependent consumer choice theory to traffic assignment on transportation networks.Route choice is modelled based on random utility maximisation with systematic utility embodying loss aversion for the travel time and money expenditure attributes.Stochastic user equilibrium models found in the literature have

Internet traffic is still exhibiting an exponential growth.This exponential growth will certainly be continued given the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE) predictions regarding the number of devices connected to the Internet in the near future.Also, many popular multicast services such as IPTV, distance learning, content dis

Background/Aims: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is an important factor promoting invasive glioma growth.This study was performed to reveal a unique mechanism of glioma cell proliferation and migration.Methods: Human U251 glioma cells were used to screen the optimal GDNF concentration and treatment time to stimulate proliferation

Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier.However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown.Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in vitro mode
