Comparative Study of Myocutaneous Latissimus Dorsi Flap Breast Reconstruction With Implant Versus Lipofilling: Complication Rates and Risk Factors

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women globally, and mastectomy often forms a critical part of its treatment. Breast reconstruction is an important aspect of post-mastectomy care, contributing to improved psychological well-being and quality of lif...

Adapting the MasSpec Pen for noninvasive detection of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma

Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OCSCC) is a common and deadly form of head and neck cancer which disproportionately afflicts low- and middle-income communities. Since the majority of OCSCC lesions are visible within the oral cavity, visual exam-guided biopsy remains the stan...

A novel gas detector optimisation method combining 2-of-N voting systems, kinetic theory of gases, and exceedance curves to minimise CFD requirements

In the chemical industry, an effective gas detection system is fundamental to safety and risk management to prevent accidental leaks that can lead to major fires and explosions. However, the computational demands of CFD simulations increase decision-making time in a gas detection...

Metabologenomics-guided bioprospecting of blue amazon microbial resources toward drug discovery

The Brazilian marine territory known as the Blue Amazon represents a vast and underexplored reservoir of microbial diversity with potential for natural product discovery. Here, we applied an integrated metabologenomics approach to investigate two marine actinomycetes, Nocardiopsi...

Probabilistic surrogate modeling for gas foil bearing stability

Abstract In the context of Industry 4.0, improving the reliability and efficiency of rotating machinery remains a relevant challenge, particularly for systems employing Gas Foil Bearings (GFBs). This paper investigates the development of surrogate models based on Bayesian Neural...

Computational and experimental evaluation of bismuth modification in CsPbX3 (X = I− or Br−): Impact on structural and optical properties

In this work, the effects of partial substitution of Pb 2+ by Bi 3+ at the B-site of CsPbI 3 and CsPbBr 3 perovskites on their structural and optical properties were evaluated using an integrated approach combining Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and experimental res...
