Background: Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal provides valuable information for diagnosing heart diseases. However, its applications in quantitative analyses of heart function are limited because the interpretation of this signal is difficult. A key step in quantitative PCG is the identification of the first and second sounds (S1 and S2) in this signal....

We have previously reported that during future space missions the risk of severe COVID-19 infection will be a cardinal issue that needs careful attention. Our studies show that even with the most reliable pre-mission screening and quarantine strategies, astronauts with a latent (hidden, inactive, or dormant) SARS-CoV-2 infection might be sent to sp...

Background: Surgery and radiotherapy are two main modalities of breast cancer treatment. However, surgery affects the tumor microenvironment negatively and promotes the growth of possible malignant cells remaining in the tumor bed. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) on the tumor micro...
