Background.Although diabetic kidney disease (DKD) could affect up to one-third of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), these patients can develop kidney diseases different from DKD, or these conditions can superimpose on DKD.Several potential predictors of nondiabetic kidney disease (NDKD) have been proposed, but there are no definitive indication

Detection of defective crystal structures can help in refute such defective structures to decrease industrial defects.In our research, we are concerned with Silicon nitride crystals.There are four types of crystal structure classes, namely no-defect structures, pristine crystal structures, defective random displacement crystal structures, and defec

Objective: To assess whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine affects sperm morphokinetics using a computer-assisted semen analyzer and other semen parameters using a sperm chromatin structure assay.Methods: Healthy male volunteers in two Japanese clinics between May 2021 and December 2021 were prospectively analyzed.Participant

The intelligentization, informationization, and internalization of power system infrastructure equipment are the key technologies to achieve the low-carbon transformation of the power system.To tackle the low degree of intelligence and the internet in the monitoring and early warning of mechanical faults of the disconnecting switch, this paper desi

Testing luminizer of the lifetime of hydrostatic transmissions can be done on special testing stands.Some testing stands use a pressure valve connected at the outlet of a pump.When using this design of stands, it is important to keep clear the operating fluid by filters and it is not possible to observe the influence of fluid pollution on the lifet
