Background: The purpose of this review was to synthesise and determine the age-related change per annum in muscle thickness of the anterior thigh across the adult lifespan.Methods: Electronic databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus and MEDLINE) AquaVac / TigerShark Parts were searched for primary studies that were screened for eligibility.Results: Following

Tissue radiosensitivity plays a critical role in the overall outcome of radiation therapy.Identifying characteristics that predict how a patient may respond to radiotherapy enables clinicians to maximize the therapeutic window.Limited clinical data have suggested a difference Universe in male and female radiotherapy outcomes.Radiotherapy for gastro

Recently, a bit-level image encryption algorithm based on chaotic maps (BCIEA) has been presented.BCIEA consists of diffusion and confusion, and its security performance mainly relies on the dynamic mechanisms introduced during diffusion and confusion, respectively.However, after a careful cryptanalysis, we found that BCIEA has fatal security issue

Tannins are a chemical defense mechanism of plants consumed by herbivores.Variations in salivary physicochemical characteristics such as pH, total protein concentration (TP), and presence of proline-rich proteins (PRPs) in animals have been reported as a mechanism to protect the oral cavity when consuming food with variations in pH and tannins.Vari
