Splenic flexure volvulus (SFV) is a very rare condition that is unlikely to be suspected even when a patient has repeated episodes of abdominal pain and dyschezia.We describe the case of SFV diagnosed and treated laparoscopically in the non-volvulus condition.A 14-year-old boy with no medical history had severe left upper abdominal pain and dyschez
Fresnel Diffraction Model for Laser Dazzling Spots of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Cameras
Laser dazzling on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image FLOR-ESSENCE sensors is an effective method in optoelectronic countermeasures.However, previous research mainly focused on the laser dazzling under far fields, with limited studies on situations that the far-field conditions were not satisfied.In this paper, we established a Fre
Online medical education using a Facebook peer-to-peer learning platform during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study exploring learner and tutor acceptability of Facebook as a learning platform
Abstract Background In recent years, higher education institutions have been moving teaching online, accelerated by the pandemic.The Remote Learning Project (RLP), based at the Norwich Medical School (NMS) in the United Kingdom (U.K.), was a peer-to-peer teaching program developed to supplement medical school teaching during the pandemic.The teachi
Comparative Analysis of the Development of Acquired Radioresistance in Canine and Human Mammary Cancer Cell Lines
Research using in vitro canine mammary cancer cell lines and naturally-occurring canine mammary tumors are not only fundamental models used to advance the understanding of cancer in veterinary patients, but are also regarded as excellent translational models of human breast cancer.Human breast cancer is commonly treated with radiotherapy; however,
