This cross-sectional prospective cohort study investigates the clinical prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) in Lebanon. It is first its kind Using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, patients initially underwent symptoms evaluation. Following this, participants received comprehensive ocular examinations, including Tear Film Break-Up Time (TBUT), surface staining, Schirmer’s test, and assessment Meibomian gland quality expressibility. Our findings indicate a high DED, with...
PURPOSE Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that palliative care (PC) can improve quality of life and survival for outpatients with advanced cancer, but there are limited population-based data on the value inpatient PC. We assessed PC as a component high-value among nationally representative sample inpatients metastatic cancer identified hospitalization characteristics significantly associated high costs. METHODS Hospitalizations patients 18 years older primary diagnosis from...
Surgical resection is the cornerstone of curative treatment for retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS), aiming complete excision, yet complexity RPS with its proximity to vital structures continues lead high local recurrence rates after surgery alone. Thus, role radiotherapy (RT) be refined improve control, which remains an important goal prevent recurrence. The recently completed global randomized trial evaluate and without preoperative RT - STRASS1, did not demonstrate a significant overall...
Cryptography is used to protect information content communicated over a network from being accessed by adversaries. This achieved transforming (encrypting) plain text before transmission in such way so that its contents can only be disclosed upon application of reverse transformation (decryption). Transformations often involve some key the process. paper focuses on estimating security symmetric cryptography algorithms based solving nonlinear equations using numerical methods. Security...
Since smart phones are equipped with built-in accelerometers they can be used for self-monitoring of physical activity which is an important health behavior and predictor functioning, especially in older adults. The objective this study to investigate the validity a phone-based monitoring application adults aged below above 65 years old. Ten (mean 33, standard deviation 13.7) ten or 76, 5.5) were asked monitor their daily phone ActiGraph GT3X 7 consecutive days. Spearman correlations between...
The study of signals propagation inside porous media is an important field especially in the biomedical research related to compact bones. purpose this paper determine a mathematical formulation global coefficients transmission and reflection nondestructive ultrasonic waves any bi-phase medium. Local on interface medium will be determined based boundary conditions. behavior different developed so that we can derive new takes interior phenomena into consideration. Results are found...
6640 Background: Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that palliative care can improve both quality of life and survival for outpatients with advanced cancer, but there is limited population-based data on the value inpatient care. We assessed as a component high-value among nationally representative sample inpatients metastatic cancer. further identified care, patient, hospital characteristics significantly associated high costs. Methods: This study analyzed hospitalizations...
