1. Efficacy of cabergoline therapy in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas: A single center clinical experience
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the response to cabergoline (CBG) treatment in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA). Subjects and methods: Retrospective, single tertiary care center study. A total of 44 patients were treated with 3 mg/week of CBG, 32 after surgical treatment (transsphenoidal surgery [TSS] in 27 and TC in 5 patients) and

2. The BigFLUX Magnetic Matrix Technology
Abstract The Magnetic separation of ultra-fine ore particles has always posed a challenge to the JONES/WHIMS process. Despite many advances in this technology, no effective improvement has been made to its core component: The Magnetic Matrix. The current approach to separate ultra-fine particles teaches that the gap of the matrix and its teeth size must be s

3. Deep learning model-assisted detection of kidney stones on computed tomography
ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the success of a deep learning model in detecting kidney stones in different planes according to stone size on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) images. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 455 patients who underwent CT scanning for kidney stones between January 2016 and

4. Pretreatment and Enzymatic Saccharification of Water Hyacinth, Sugarcane Bagasse, Maize Straw, and Green Coconut Shell Using an Organosolv Method with Glycerol and FeCl3
A method to pretreatment of biomasses using glycerol as a green solvent was developed. Optimization of organosolv pretreatment was performed using a 23 factorial design, investigating synergism among the variables particle size (from < 0.85 to > 2.0 mm), FeCl3 concentration (0.025-0.175 mol L-1), and temperature (160-220 °C). Although the effects of the var

5. Thermal, structural and optical properties of magnetic BiFeO3 micron-particles synthesized by coprecipitation method: heterogeneous photocatalysis study under white LED irradiation
Abstract Bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3 (BFO) prepared via a coprecipitation method, was used as an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) using a white light-emitting diode (LED-50 W) lamp. The as-prepared material was characterized by TGA, XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and UV-vis-DRS techniques. The effects of experimental key parameters such as

6. Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalytic degradation of phenazine dye over CeO2 (CP-2) nanoscale powder
Abstract A heterogeneous Fenton-like process was explored for oxidation of phenazine dye using ceria polishing material (CP-2). XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-vis DRS, and pHPZC techniques were applied to characterize the catalyst features. The performance of the heterogeneous Fenton-like process was investigated under various parameters (reaction time, pH, H2O2 concent

7. Postchemotherapy retroperitoneal residual mass resection for germ cell testicular tumors: a single-center experience
SUMMARY Objective: Postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) plays an important role in the management of advanced germ cell testicular tumors. Bilateral template lymph node dissection is considered a standard treatment in postchemotherapy residual masses; however, modified unilateral templates have gained acceptance in patients with

8. Effects of the addition of graphene on the compressive strength of geopolymeric mortar developed from k-feldspar mining waste
Abstract Contemporary organizations are showing a growing interest in the reuse of solid waste from industrial processes with the intention of reducing environmental impacts and reducing costs. The mining activity is one of the main waste generators in Brazil. In parallel, geopolymeric materials have been gaining prominence in studies that make it a possible

9. The safety and efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy against psychotic symptomatology: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a third-wave psychological intervention that has attracted considerable clinical and research attention. A previous meta-analysis of ACT trials in psychosis reported a large effect size of ACT against overall psychotic symptomatology. However, there were critical methodological issues in the review that

10. Structural Study of Wheat Gliadin in Different Solvents by Spectroscopic Techniques
Physicochemical properties of gliadin in different solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), H2O, and aqueous ethanol) and pH (9.8, 6.8, and 1.2) were investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential (ZP), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Gliadin-DMSO and gliadin-deionized water (H2O) (pH 9.8) s
