Inequality is a pressing issue in many societies and Nigeria in particular and policymakers face the challenge of creating effective policies to address it.This is why people-based policymaking is germane in developing policies that are tailored to the specific needs of different groups.Hence, addressing the root causes of inequality, it is possibl
Use of Marlex mesh with methylmethacrylate to repair large full-thickness defects after subtotal sternectomy caused by chondroma
Background.Sternal benign neoplasms are extremely rare.Chondroma is a benign tumor of cartilage and can be single or multiple.Case report.We presented a case of 28-year-old woman with chondroma of the sternum treated by "en COMBAT WHITE CHOCO RASPBERRY bloc" resection of the tumor (subtotal sternectomy).The chest wall defect was repaired by the pla
Mucosal and Systemic Responses to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Vaccination Determined by Severity of Primary Infection
ABSTRACT With much of the world infected with or vaccinated against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (commonly abbreviated SARS-CoV-2; abbreviated here SARS2), understanding the immune responses to the SARS2 spike (S) protein in different situations is crucial to controlling the pandemic.We studied the clinical, systemic, mucosal, an
VOR - Calibration by an Airborne Integrated Navigation System
A simulation study of a possible application of modern control Keyboard/Mouse Combos theory is presented.The problem is to check and calibrate a VOR-station from a circling aircraft.An accurate position estimate of the circling aircraft is needed in order to calculate the errors in the received VOR-signals.The position estimate is here obtained fro
Human Marrow Stromal Cells Enhance Connexin43 Gap Junction Intercellular Communication in Cultured Astrocytes
Human marrow stromal cells (hMSCs) provide functional benefit in rats subjected to stroke.Astrocytes are coupled into a cellular network via gap junction channels, predominantly composed of connexin-43 (Cx43) proteins.Astrocytes are believed to play a vital role in neuroprotection by providing energy substrates to neurons and by regulating the conc
