    Abstract: Equations predicting the urinary excretion of a substance of interest have been developed from a deterministic model linking substance-to-creatinine ratio with expected creatinine output for sex and age. Developed predictive equations show ≥ 80% accuracy and ≥ 90% agreement with traditional, established methods recurring to 24 hours urine collectio... Show More

    Abstract: An altered ankle-brachial index (ABI) is an indicator of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Usually the measurement of the systolic pressure in both brachial arteries and pedal pulses is performed with a continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. Recently an oscillometric automated device is available to measure ABI. This instrument is a simple to use, fa... Show More

    Abstract: Background: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the Most common thyroid malignancy disease, and it is more common in females. It happened in any age. Mean age at diagnosis is approximately 40 years old. There is history of neck irradiation in 5–10% patients. And non-neoplastic gland may show nuclear aberrations as a result. There is increased inci... Show More
