The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT) in the preoperative staging of gastric cancer, prospectively comparing CT findings with pathological findings at surgery, in a single-center study. A total of 19 consecutive patients with primary cancer recruited between March and July 2014 were submitted to preoperative MDCT staging according to a standard protocol. All diagnostic procedures were performed by dedicated radiologists who were unaware of the final pathological results. Subsequently, 16 patients underwent surgical treatment and 15 were finally included in the study. The primary tumor was detected at CT in all 15 cases. CT results for T staging were in agreement with pathological findings in 12 of 15 cases, with overall accuracy of 80%. Stage-specific sensibility was high for advanced stages (sensibility for T1, T3, and T4 resulted 60%, 85.7%, and 100%, respectively), while earlier stages showed higher specificity (specificity for T1, T3, and T4 resulted 100%, 75%, and 91.7%, respectively). Overall N staging accuracy was 86.7%, with 13 of 15 patients correctly staged. Stage-specific sensibility was 75% for N0 and 100% for N3, while specificity was 100% for N0 and lower for advanced stages. Accuracy for peritoneal involvement was 100%. Our findings show a good performance of the diagnostic protocol performed with MDCT tested in this study.

A Comparison of Methods Used to Determine the Oleic/Linoleic Acid Ratio in Cultivated Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil and food crop. It is also a cheap source of protein, a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, and a component of many food products. The fatty acid composition of peanuts has become increasingly important with the realization that oleic acid content significantly affects the development of rancidity. And oil content of peanuts significantly affects flavor and shelf-life. Early generation screening of breeding lines for high oleic acid content greatly increases the efficiency of developing new peanut varieties. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of methods used to classify individual peanut seed as high oleic or not high oleic. Three hundred and seventy-four (374) seeds, spanning twenty-three (23) genotypes varying in oil composition (i.e. high oleic (H) or normal/not high oleic (NH) inclusive of all four peanut market-types (runner, Spanish, Valencia and Virginia), were individually tested ...

Location Optimization of a Coal Power Plant to Balance Costs against Plant’s Emission Exposure

Fuel and its delivery cost comprise the biggest expense in coal power plant operations. Delivery of electricity from generation to consumers requires investment in power lines and transmission grids. Placing a coal power plant or multiple power plants near dense population centers can lower transmission costs. If a coalmine is nearby, transportation costs can also be reduced. However, emissions from coal plants play a key role in worsening health crises in many countries. And coal upon combustion produces CO 2 , SO 2 , NO x , CO, Metallic and Particle Matter (PM10 & PM2.5). The presence of these chemical compounds in the atmosphere in close vicinity to humans, livestock, and agriculture carries detrimental health consequences. The goal of the research was to develop a methodology to minimize the public’s exposure to harmful emissions from coal power plants while maintaining minimal operational costs related to electric distribution losses and coal logistics. The objective was...

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Continuous Use of a Home-Use High-Frequency Facial Treatment Appliance

At present, many home-use beauty devices are available in the market. In particular, many products developed for facial treatment use light, e.g., a flash lamp or a light-emitting diode (LED). In this study, the safety of 4 weeks’ continuous use of NEWA TM , a high-frequency facial treatment appliance, every alternate day at home was verified, and its efficacy was evaluated in Japanese individuals with healthy skin aged 30 years or older who complained of sagging of the facial skin.  Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin levels, erythema levels, sebum secretion levels, skin color changes and wrinkle improvement in the facial skin were measured before the appliance began to be used (study baseline), at 2 and 4 weeks after it had begun to be used, and at 2 weeks after completion of the 4-week treatment period (6 weeks from the study baseline). In addition, data obtained by subjective evaluation by the subjects themselves on a visual analog scale (VAS) were also analyzed. Fur...
