Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.We report a case of a patient with iPPFE in whom postural changes improved diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and In Ground Product (Cleaners) exercise tolerance.Chest radiography showed a greater elevation of the diaphragm at maximum expiration in the
Wireless sensor networks rely on sensor devices deployed in an conditioner environment to support sensing and monitoring, including temperature, humidity, motion, and acoustic.Here, we propose a new approach to model physical phenomena and track their evolution by taking advantage of the recent developments of pattern recognition for nonlinear func
Background: Melanocortinergic system represents a known system involved in the central regulation of body weight with the central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons forming a potent anorexigenic network.Polymorphisms in the POMC gene locus are associated with obesity phenotypes.Aim: To assess the contribution of the POMC gene 9-bp insertional polym
Poverty persists in many developing countries, including Nigeria, owing to inadequate infrastructure, unemployment, or poor working conditions, among other factors.Youth poverty and vulnerability to poverty have been identified to prevalent among the young population.Using an endogenous switching probit regression approach, in this study, we evalua
Most street lights currently deployed have constant illumination levels or vary based on a predetermined schedule.However, with advances in lighting controls, intelligent transportation systems, and the efforts of transportation agencies at regional and national levels to better sustain and manage Teas the transportation system by monitoring the ro
