TL;DR: The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown, but a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors is suspected as mentioned in this paper , but the cause of the disease is still undetermined.
Abstract: Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the digestive system that affects children and adults. The cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, but a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors is suspected. Symptoms of Crohn’s disease are usually mouth sores, fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. Patients may also have symptoms outside the digestive system: skin rash, joint pain, red eyes, and liver problems.

Abstract: On rare occasions, patients with Goodpasture’s syndrome (GPS) present with both anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). Concurrent ANCA and anti-GBM disease is rare with a high mortality rate. Here we present a case of both anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) complicated with hyponatremia.
TL;DR: The response to TB care has been hindered by diversion of resources and laboratory capacity for COVID-19, resulting in a decline in the number of reported people with TB from 7.1 million in 2019 to 5.8 million in 2020 as mentioned in this paper .
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global cause of death. However, the response to TB care has been hindered by the diversion of resources and laboratory capacity for COVID-19, resulting in a decline in the number of reported people with TB from 7.1 million in 2019 to 5.8 million in 2020 [1]. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals being evaluated for TB often faced long delays and missed opportunities for diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this paper , the kinetics of bioactive components from Helichrysum arenarium under ultrasound action was investigated, and the authors used a model validation by plotting experimental data and to see if the correlation coefficient fits the experimental data.
Abstract: In this paper, the kinetics of bioactive components from Helichrysum arenarium under ultrasounds action was investigated. The aim of this study was to do model validation by plotting experimental data and to be seen if the correlation coefficient fits the experimental data. The process takes place in two stages: a fast one in the first stage 0–75 min, followed by slow phase from 75-180 min, in the second phase the equilibrium concentration was approached after 80 min. The modelling of kinetics in two phases (fast and slow) is done through the mathematical interpretations of the kinetically controlled process and the diffusion controlled process, also with a separate analysis of the two phases separately and finally they are combined into one process.

It is a proactive exercise to protect the whole nation against menace of corona effect.
TL;DR: The most complex and tough undertaking in order to lower the death rate is the process of predicting a patient's likelihood of survival following breast cancer surgery as mentioned in this paper , which is the most lethal form of cancer that can strike women anywhere in the world.
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most lethal form of cancer that can strike women anywhere in the world. The most complex and tough undertaking in order to lower the death rate is the process of predicting a patient’s likelihood of survival following breast cancer surgery. Due to the fact that this survival prediction is linked to the life of a woman, effective algorithms are required for the purpose of making the prognosis.
TL;DR: The term microbiota dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and refers to a large number of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts and viruses, which coexist in various parts of the human body (intestine, skin, lung, oral cavity) as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors dealt with geomagnetic disturbance storm time (Dst) in relation with the moth (Lepidoptera) species caught by the high efficiency Mészáros-type light-trap in Bečej (Serbia).
Abstract: This study deals with geomagnetic disturbance storm time (Dst) in relation with the moth (Lepidoptera) species caught by the high efficiency Mészáros-type light-trap in Bečej (Serbia). 32 moth species were selected for our calculations, those that were collected by the light-trap on at least 200 nights. The numbers of catching moths by generation were calculated relative catch (RC) values.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors report a case where small fragments of marrow tissue were obtained during an unsuccessful attempt to obtain an adequate trephine (core) biopsy sample that provided material sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis.
Abstract: During bone marrow trephine (core) biopsy procedures for hematological diagnosis, it is not uncommon to obtain only small fragments of bone marrow tissue that are considered to be unsatisfactory for histological evaluation and are often discarded. We report a case where small fragments of marrow tissue were obtained during an unsuccessful attempt to obtain an adequate trephine (core) biopsy sample that provided material sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis.
