GLUCAGONOMA-ASSOCIATED DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY REFRACTORY TO SOMATOSTATIN ANALOGUE THERAPY


Comparing neutron and X-ray images from NIF implosions

Directly laser driven and X-radiation driven DT filled capsules differ in the relationship between neutron and X-ray images.Shot N110217, a directly driven DT-filled glass micro-balloon provided the first neutron images at the National Ignition Facility.As seen in implosions on the Omega laser, the neutron image can be enclosed inside time integrat

First Order Framework for Gauge k-Vortices

We study vortices in generalized Maxwell-Higgs models, with the inclusion of a quadratic kinetic term with the covariant derivative of the scalar field in the Lagrangian density.We discuss the stressless condition and adaptor show that the presence of analytical solutions helps us to define the model compatible with the existence of first order equ

Unsupervised Image Segmentation on 2D Echocardiogram

Echocardiography is a widely used, non-invasive imaging technique for diagnosing and monitoring heart conditions.However, accurate segmentation of cardiac structures, particularly the left ventricle, remains a complex task due to the inherent variability and noise in echocardiographic images.Current supervised models have achieved state-of-the-art

Treatment of Tendon Injuries in the Servicemember Population across the Spectrum of Pathology: From Exosomes to Bioinductive Scaffolds

Tendon injuries in military servicemembers are one of the most commonly treated nonbattle musculoskeletal injuries (NBMSKIs).Commonly the result of demanding physical training, repetitive loading, and frequent exposures to austere conditions, tendon injuries represent a conspicuous threat to operational readiness.Tendon healing involves a complex s
