PREVENTION OF SALIVARY GLAND DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH RADIOIODINE FOR DIFFERENTIATED THYROID CANCER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

IntroductionSalivary gland dysfunction (e.g., sialadenitis and xerostomia) is the most common complication of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Several methods have been used to reduce/prevent this adverse effect.We aimed to systematically review the effectiveness of non-pharmacological SWING ARM SET and pharm

We use topological data analysis to investigate the three dimensional spatial structure of the locus of afferent neuron terminals in crickets Acheta domesticus.Each afferent neuron innervates a filiform hair positioned on a cercus: a protruding appendage at the rear of the animal.The hairs transduce air motion to the neuron signal that is used by a

In recent years, deep learning methods have shown significant potential in soil moisture modeling.However, a prominent limitation of deep learning approaches has been the absence of physical mechanisms.To address this challenge, this study introduces two novel loss functions designed around physical mechanisms to guide deep learning models in captu

Accurate and reliable relative gene expression analysis via the Reverse Transcription-quantitative Real Time PCR (RT-qPCR) method strongly depends on employing several stable reference genes as normalizers.Utilization of the Utensils reference genes without analyzing their expression stability under each experimental condition causes RT-qPCR analys
