Abstract Background Perineum necrotizing fasciitis, also known as Fournier gangrene (FG), is a rare but highly mortal infectious necrotizing fasciitis with or without involvement of the underlying muscle.Evidence exists that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) combined with a split thickness skin graft (STSG) can help to heal wounds with FG.Howe
Residential Photovoltaic Systems in Norway: Household Knowledge, Preferences and Willingness to Pay
Solar power or photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a leading low-carbon energy technology worldwide, but the deployment of residential PV systems in Norway has lagged behind other Scandinavian countries.Therefore, the Norwegian market provides an opportunity to gain insights on the demand factors that Point determine residential PV adoption.T
Discrete Global Sliding Mode Control for Time-Delay Carbon Fiber Multilayer Diagonal Loom
In order to overcome the disadvantage that the dynamic sliding mode FAST JOINT CARE + surface of the discrete global sliding mode control has a too long evolution time, a quick discrete global sliding mode control method is proposed.A decay function of the dynamic sliding mode surface which can decay to zero in the finite time is constructed.Thereb
A correlation for predicting the abrasive water jet cutting depth for natural stones
The abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting method has been used widely for the cutting and processing of materials because of its cool, damage-free, and precise cutting technique.Nowadays, the use of AWJ cutting in the natural stone industry is increasing.However, the effectiveness of AWJ cutting of natural stones is dependent on the rock properties and
Quality of Life, Toxicity and Unmet Needs in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Survivors
Concerted research efforts over the last three decades have resulted in improved survival and outcomes for patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).The evolution of radiotherapy techniques has facilitated improved dose delivery to target volumes while reducing dose to the surrounding normal tissue, improving both disease control and q
