On Relativistic Astrophysics.

In this paper we have attempted to discuss the relation of massive highly condensed objects to astrolysics in general, rather than only to the radio-source problem. Because situations in which general lativistic effects play a dominant role...

Problems in Astrophysics

Astronomy and Astrophysics

A star is by definition a celestial object, bound by self-gravity, in which thermal energy is produced from a nonthermal source (nuclear reactions) and is radiated outward from the object’s surface to its surroundings. We shall extend this ...

Fundamentals of Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics

This book deals with neutrino physics and astrophysics — a field in which some of the most exciting recent developments in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology took place. The book discusses all the topics vital to the understandin...

Adverse skin reactions to antiepileptic drugs - a review

Introduction and objective: Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is frequently used all around the world. Just like in the course of all the drugs administration, side effects may appear, including characteristic side effects presentin...

Continuous positive airway pressure for children with undifferentiated respiratory distress in Ghana: an open-label, cluster, crossover trial

Background: In low-income and middle-income countries, invasive mechanical ventilation is often not available for children at risk of death from respiratory failure. We aimed to determine if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a for...

Effect of Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet on Maternal Iron Related Biochemical Parameters during Pregnancy and Gestational Weight Gain

Gestation is a crucial life stage for both women and offspring, and outcomes are affected by many environmental factors, including diet. The Mediterranean dietary pattern (MD) is considered a healthy eating pattern that can provide the nutr...

A Predictive Model Based on the Gut Microbiota Improves the Diagnostic Effect in Patients With Cholangiocarcinoma

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant hepatic tumor with a poor prognosis, which needs early diagnosis urgently. The gut microbiota has been shown to play a crucial role in the progression of liver cancer. Here, we explored a gut microbio...

Protocol for a mixed methods process evaluation for a randomised controlled trial to improve shared decision-making about, and uptake of, osteoporosis medicines: the iFraP study [version 3; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Background High quality shared decision-making (SDM) conversations involve people with or at risk of osteoporosis and clinicians working together to decide, where appropriate, which evidence-based medicines best fit the person’s life, belie...

Seroprevalence and risk factors of porcine cysticercosis in Mpwapwa district, eastern-Central Tanzania

Porcine cysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of Taenia species, poses significant health and economic challenges in low and lower-middle-income regions. This study assessed the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with the transm...

Prevalence of gastric varices in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper GI bleed at Shifa International hospital: an insidious threat

Abstract Introduction Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a serious condition occurring as a result of chronic liver disease. Amongst its various complications, acute variceal bleeding is the most feared, which presents as esophageal, gastroesophageal,...

Plasma Exchange for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: An International Survey of Patient PreferencesPlain Language Summary

Rationale & Objective: We sought to elicit patient preferences regarding the use of plasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and its tradeoffs of risk of kidney failure and risk of serious infec...
