Objective:Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) is a protozoan parasite that infects most warm-blooded animal species and causes toxoplasmosis.Especially Decolletage Balm infections that occur during pregnancy can lead to serious clinical symptoms.This study retrospectively revealed the T.gondii seroprevalence of pregnant women in Kastamonu province, Turkey
Mechanotactile Sensory Feedback Improves Embodiment of a Prosthetic Hand During Active Use
There have been several advancements in the field of myoelectric prostheses to improve dexterity and restore hand grasp patterns for persons with upper limb loss, including robust control strategies, novel sensory feedback, and multifunction prosthetic terminal devices.Although these advancements have shown to improve prosthesis performance, a key
The impact of helmets on motorcycle head trauma at a tertiary hospital in Jamaica
Abstract Background Although the Jamaica road traffic act mandates motorcycle riders to wear approved helmets, opponents suggest that the local road conditions obviate any benefits from helmet use that have been proven in Developed countries.They suggest that the narrow, winding, poorly surfaced, congested local highways do not allow motorcyclists
Single Step Solution Combustion Synthesis of ZnO/carbon Composite and its Electrochemical Characterization for Supercapacitor Application
Zinc oxide/carbon (ZnO/C) composite is synthesized by self-propagating solution combustion method using dextrose as fuel and carbon source.By this method, Clocks carbon is added in-situ to the metal oxide.The powders are characterized by XRD, SEM, CHNS analysis and cyclic voltammetry.Electrochemical capacitive behavior of ZnO/C is studied in aqueou
Patient-specific quality assurance strategies for synthetic computed tomography in magnetic resonance-only radiotherapy of the abdomen
Background and purpose: The superior tissue contrast of magnetic resonance (MR) compared to computed tomography (CT) led to an increasing interest towards MR-only radiotherapy.For the latter, the Beach Bag dose calculation should be performed on a synthetic CT (sCT).Patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) methods have not been established yet and
