Urethral stents whips were initially developed for the management of urethral strictures and obstructive voiding disorders in select patients.Urethral stent complications are common and may require stent explantation, which is often quite challenging.We present our experience with endoscopic removal of an encrusted UroLume proximal urethral stent i
Scoliosis in Goldenhar syndrome with curve reversal during brace treatment: a case report
Abstract Background Goldenhar syndrome sometimes displays progressive scoliosis and other spinal deformities that require treatment.However, few reports exist on scoliosis correction in Goldenhar syndrome.We described the rare radiological outcomes of a patient with Goldenhar syndrome who received DETOX PWD brace treatment for scoliosis.Case presen
Mitochondrial genome sequences illuminate maternal lineages of conservation concern in a rare carnivore
Abstract Background Science-based wildlife management relies on genetic information to infer population connectivity and identify conservation units.The most commonly used genetic marker for characterizing animal biodiversity and identifying maternal lineages is the mitochondrial genome.Mitochondrial genotyping figures prominently in conservation a
Tamoxifen from chemotherapy to antiviral drug: Possible activity against COVID-19
Tamoxifen (TAM) is the oldest and the most-prescribed selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).It is a member of the triphenylethylene group.TAM has been used to treat breast cancer that spreads to other parts of the human body; it is also utilized to decreasing the chances of breast cancer developing in high-risk patients.Recently, some studie
On degenerate reaction-diffusion epidemic models with mass action or standard incidence mechanism
In this paper, we consider reaction-diffusion epidemic models with mass action or standard incidence mechanism and study the whips impact of limiting population movement on disease transmissions.We set either the dispersal rate of the susceptible or infected people to zero and study the corresponding degenerate reaction-diffusion model.Our main app
