ADVANCES IN ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND (EUS)-GUIDED LIVER BIOPSY

Advances in Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Guided Liver Biopsy

Recent years have seen the emergence of endoscopic-ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) as an effective alternative to traditional (percutaneous or transjugular) liver biopsy techniques.Comparative studies have demonstrated that both endoscopic and non-endoscopic approaches are similar in terms of diagnostic adequacy, accuracy, and adverse event

Solving the quartic by conics

Two conic sections C1{C}_{1} and C2{C}_{2} in the Euclidean plane that pass through two given points can generally have two further points of intersection.It is shown how these can be constructed using compass and ruler.The idea is CARRIAGE ROLLER to construct the degenerate conics in the pencil of the two conics C1{C}_{1} and C2{C}_{2}.Their inter

A Refinery Production Scheduling Model with Operation Mode Transition Based on Variable Driven Modelling Approach

Operation mode is widely used in a refinery production process, bringing great convenience to its daily operations.However, the refinery scheduling model with operation mode makes the scheduling model become large and thus difficult to solve.In this article, we present a new refinery scheduling model based on Variable Driven Modelling (VDM) approac

Mode of application of acaricides against the ectoparasitic mite (Varroa destructor) infesting honeybee colonies, determines their efficiencies and residues in honey and beeswax

Objectives: Ensuring adequate treatments for acaricide efficacy to combat mite infestation is a pre-requisite for healthy honeybees and a good yield of hive products.Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of the mode of application on efficiency of two acaricides; Vapcozin-20 (amitraz) and Mavrik 2F (fluvalinate) against Varroa mite infes
