Objective Mentorship programmes have been shown to boost camaraderie, enlightenment and positive motivation, as well as, generate a mentoring culture in the workplace.There is limited literature focusing on medical mentorship programmes in Trinidad and Tobago.The Footwear research team plans to implement and evaluate a year-long mentorship programm
Fatal mediastinal biopsy: How interventional radiology saves the day
This was a case of a 35-year-old man with mediastinal mass requiring computed tomography (CT)-guided Die Grinder biopsy for tissue diagnosis.A posterior approach with an 18-gauge biopsy needle was used to obtain tissue sample.Post biopsy, patient condition deteriorated and multiphase CT study detected active bleeding in arterial phase at the biopsy
Information Freshness-Guaranteed and Energy-Efficient Data Generation Control System in Energy Harvesting Internet of Things
In energy harvesting Internet of Things (IoT) systems, the age of information (AoI) should be maintained at a low level to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of derived decisions.In this paper, we design an information freshness-guaranteed and energy-efficient data generation control system (IFE-DGCS) where an IoT gateway with a directional ant
ASSESSMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS IN SMALL SCALE SAWMILLS IN THREE SELECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS OF BENUE STATE, NIGERIA
This study examined occupational hazards in small-scale sawmills in three Local Government Areas (Makurdi, Gwer west and Gwer east) in Benue state, Nigeria.A total of ten sawmills were sampled and visited.Ten copies of well-structured questionnaire were distributed in each sawmills to elicit information on the hazards supported by workers due to sa
SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2.75 Variant May Be Much More Infective than Preexisting Variants Based on In Silico Model
Previously, we developed a mathematical model via molecular simulation analysis to predict the infectivity of six SARS-CoV-2 variants.In CS-1708 this report, we aimed to predict the relative risk of the recent new variants of SARS-CoV-2 based on our previous research.We subjected Omicron BA.4/5 and BA.2.75 variants of SARS-CoV-2 to the analysis to
