Abstract Precocious puberty accepted when secondary sexual characteristics developed before the age of 8 in girls and 9 in boys. One of its causes is severe hypothyroidism. Severe hypothyroidism may rarely result in precocious puberty and the pathophysiology of it is uncertain yet. Fortunately, the puberty is reversible with the thyroid…

Background — Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a form of peripheral vascular diseases (PVD), in which there is partial or total blockage of blood supply to a limb, usually the leg, leading to impaired blood flow and ischemia in the tissue. When PAD advances, such as in diabetic patients, it may reach…

Background — Acute pain and agitation are common presentations that must be addressed in the prehospital setting by paramedics. Opioids are most frequently used to control acute pain but are highly addictive and patients can develop dependence even from short term use. For sedation, many different medications such as benzodiazepines and haloperidol…

Opinion — The vision of the Neurocritical patient has certainly changed in recent decades. This has allowed us better results in our patients from survival to the quality-quantity of sequelae. What have been the reasons for this change, from our perspective? 1. We have managed to better categorize the risk from the…

Abstract Gastric schwannomas are unusual and account for only 0.2% of all gastric tumors. Given their rarity and the absence of randomized trials, the diagnostic and therapeutic burden of these tumors remains difficult. Like the latter, and despite multimodal treatment, their prognosis remains unfavorable. …

Abstract More and more Predominantly Base alloys are used instead the expensive dental alloys containing high concentration in noble metals. Among these PB alloys the ones based on cobalt and chromium are rather interesting since they bring high mechanical resistance, and do not risk induce any nickel release in mouth. Their…

Abstract The article shows the role of the establishment of a method of surveillance-monitoring of ecological processes in Russia’s fisheries lakes and names examples of ecological-fishery variability of lakes in the south of the West Siberian Plain, influenced by climate change dynamics. …

Abstract Uranium is characterized by low activity. It is generally accepted that the biological (mainly carcinogenic) danger of using shells containing depleted uranium is associated with the toxicity of uranium dust. However, when a projectile collides with an object at high speed (1.6km/s or more), the half-life of uranium nuclei decreases…

Mini-Review — Titanium and its alloys are the most used metallic materials for the manufacture of orthopedic and dental prostheses due to their similarities to human bone. Among these properties, the hardness and Young’s modulus stand out, besides being chemically inert and presenting low corrosion potential in biological environments [1]. …
