Abstract Background Nepal is one of the largest suppliers of labour to countries where there is a demand for cheap and low skilled workers.In the recent years the Gulf countries have collectively become the main destinations for international migration.This paper aims to explore the health problems and accidents experienced by a sample of Nepalese
Strength development and hydration products of alkali-activated Pisha sandstone geopolymer cement
Pisha sandstone (PS) is a unique geological structure in the Yellow River basin in China and is a general term for a rock interlayer composed of sandstone, sand shale, and muddy sandstone.The collapsibility of PS results in a high erosion rate and poor vegetation due to its low diagenetic potential and weak structural strength.This study showed tha
Region-of-Interest Aware 3D ResNet for Classification of COVID-19 Chest Computerised Tomography Scans
Coronavirus disease 2019, commonly known as COVID-19, is an extremely contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).Computerised Tomography (CT) scans based diagnosis and SWEET CORN progression analysis of COVID-19 have recently received academic interest.Most algorithms include two-stage analysis where a
Preliminary evaluation of FAPI-04-PET/CT for differentiating recurrence and post-treatment changes in high-grade gliomas
Fibroblast-activated protein (FAP) expression in glial Toys cells is attributed to FAP-positive foci on tumor vessels and neoplastic cells.Preclinical and pilot studies have shown FAP expression in high-grade gliomas.We aimed at comparing PET imaging with FAP-inhibitor (FAPI-PET) with current standard, i.e., fluoro-ethyl tyrosine (FET) PET in post-
Using lot quality-assurance sampling and area sampling to identify priority areas for trachoma control: Viet Nam
OBJECTIVE: To report on the use of lot quality-assurance sampling (LQAS) surveys undertaken within an area-sampling framework to identify priority areas for intervention with trachoma control activities in Viet Nam.METHODS: The LQAS survey method for the rapid assessment of Toys the prevalence of active trachoma was adapted for use in Viet Nam with
