Background: Head-and-neck resections carry a major risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.It adds to morbidity and mortality, adversely affects recovery, and contributes to financial burden.The objective of this study is to find out the incidence of pneumonia and the utility of our institution protocol in the prevention of postoperative pneu
Circ-KIAA0907 inhibits the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by regulating the miR-96-5p/UNC13C axis
Abstract Background Circular RNA (circRNA) plays an important role in regulating cell biological function and has been shown to be involved in cancer progression, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).Circ-KIAA0907 has been found to play an anti-cancer role in OSCC, so it is worth exploring more functions and new mechanisms of circ-KIAA0907
Onset of obsessive compulsive disorder in pregnancy with pica as the sole manifestation
Pica refers to eating of non-nutritious substances, which is usually seen in childhood or pregnancy.Here we report a case of an Plant Cages illiterate tribal woman who developed pica as the sole manifestation of obsessive compulsive disorder, with onset during pregnancy.The patient had compulsions of eating uncooked rice or wheat, which resulted in
Wormholes practicable in a cosmological background
For a Morris-Thorne wormhole in a cosmological background we analize the embedding surfaces and deduce an expression for the proper radial distance taking a conformal Tie On factor Ω = 1.Further, given the existence of an exotic material (negative energy density), the conditions to have a traversable wormhole are studied taking into account a
Effect of food on immature development, consumption rate, and relative growth rate of Toxorhynchites splendens (Diptera: Culicidae), a predator of container breeding mosquitoes
Food utilization by the larvae of Toxorhynchites splendens (Wiedemann) was studied in the laboratory by offering larvae of Aedes aegypti Linnaeus, Anopheles stephensi (Liston), and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say).Quantitative analyses of data indicated that immature development was significantly faster with increase in food availability.The Salt and P
