Abstract Background Regular training for mass casualty incidents at physical simulation events is vital for emergency services.The preparation and execution of these simulations consume huge amounts of time, personnel, and money.It is therefore important to gather as much information as possible from each simulation while minimizing any influence o

In most species mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited maternally in an apparently clonal fashion, although how this is achieved remains uncertain.Population genetic studies show not only that individuals can harbor more than one type of mtDNA (heteroplasmy) but that heteroplasmy is common and widespread across a diversity of taxa.Females harboring

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) Fire Table is a condition that causes massive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axonal fibers, leading to visual insufficiency.Several intrinsic and external factors can limit the regenerative ability of RGC after TON, subsequently resulting in RGC death.Hence, it is important to investigate a potentia

Owing to the setting up of new nuclear medicine centers, not only choiceless treatment, such as radioactive iodine therapy, but also an indispensable technique in examination, such as 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG PET/CT), has become available to many patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
