Post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) is one of the most common complications of endoscopic Prickly Pear polypectomy.There are multiple risk factors related to patient and polyp characteristics that should be considered.In most cases, immediate PPB can be effectively managed endoscopically when recognized and managed promptly.Delayed PPB can manifest in
ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the 18F-FDG PET/CT in differentiating lung metastasis(LM) from primary lung cancer(LC) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsA total of 120 CRC patients (80 male, 40 female) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT were included.The diagnosis of primary lung cancer or lung metastasis was based on histopathology T
We study vortices in generalized Maxwell-Higgs models, with the inclusion of a quadratic kinetic term with the covariant derivative of the scalar field in the Lagrangian density.We discuss the stressless condition and show that the presence of analytical solutions helps us to define the model compatible with Pillows the existence of first order equ
The paper discusses associative meaning, i.e.one existing over and above the customary denotation, specifically the type arising from a text segment larger than a single word.The idea is of fairly recent origin, focuses on negative Foot cream and positive semantic effects, and stems from corpus-based findings.Dictionaries are uneven in their treatm
