BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine if the workers of an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), which recycles scrap, had higher mortality and morbidity due to possible exposure to pollutants at work. EAFs do not...

Complex structures in polar smectic systems can be studied within framework of discrete phenomenological models. Considered interactions are usually described by nonlinear trigonometric functions that do not allow for a straightforward search for solutions. The review of three methods...

We present a theoretical analysis of static and dynamic properties of freely suspended films of the smectic-C*alpha phase in an external electric field, applied along the smectic layers. The analysis is performed within the "clock" model, where the interactions...

The unwinding of the short pitch helical smectic-C*alpha structure in an external electric field is studied within a discrete phenomenological model. It is found that the pitch increases quasicontinuously at low electric fields and is commensurate with the smectic...

BACKGROUND: Radical prostatectomy (RP) represents an important acquired risk factor for the development of primary inguinal hernias (IH) with an estimated incidence rates of 15.9% within the first 2 years after surgery. The prostatectomy-related preperitoneal fibrotic reaction can make...

The GIM2 phase III trial demonstrated the benefit of dose-dense chemotherapy in node-positive early breast cancer (eBC). To better define the dose-dense effect in the hormone receptor-positive subgroup, we evaluated its benefit through a composite measure of recurrence risk....
