Background Multidisciplinary care (MDC) was widely used in multiple chronic illnesses but
the effectiveness of MDC in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) was inconclusive …

We review the experimental synthesis of smooth and rough particles, characterization of
surface roughness, quantification of the pairwise and bulk friction coefficients, and their …

The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors of voice problems for teachers with
voice disorders as compared to teachers without voice disorders. Many studies have …

Despite great advances in therapy over the past decades, ischemic heart disease (IHD)
remains the leading cause of death worldwide because the decrease in mortality after acute …

We report a simple correlation between microstructure and strain-dependent elasticity in
colloidal gels by visualizing the evolution of cluster structure in high strain-rate flows. We …

Teachers have a high percentage of voice problems. For voice disordered teachers,
resonant voice therapy is hypothesized to reduce voice problems. No research has been …

OBJECTIVE—To evaluate whether treatment with insulin is advantageous compared with
oral antidiabetes agents in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes with severe hyperglycemia …

This study reports experimental measurements on the washing ability of quillaja saponin
biosurfactant in kaolin suspensions, which were presorbed with the binary heavy metals of …

To assess the role of particle roughness in the rheological phenomena of concentrated
colloidal suspensions, we develop model colloids with varying surface roughness length …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more at risk for pneumonia than the general
population. Patients with pneumonia are usually treated as outpatients. However, previous …
