A rare case of epiploic appendages infarction within an incisional hernia: a usual complain of unusual cause
Abstract Epiploic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon condition caused by infarction of epiploic appendages “small fat outpouchings present on the outside of the colon wall” because of torsion or thrombosis of the main draining vein. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as diverticulitis or appendicitis. Lab tests usually are normal, and the diagnosis is mainly by computerized […]
Is the β3-Adrenoceptor a Valid Target for the Treatment of Obesity and/or Type 2 Diabetes?
Abstract β3-Adrenoceptors mediate several functions in rodents that could be beneficial for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. This includes promotion of insulin release from the pancreas, cellular glucose uptake, lipolysis, and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. In combination, they lead to a reduction of body weight in several rodent models including ob/ob […]

Moving Object Detection Based on Clustering and Event-Based Camera
Abstract The Moving object detection as a problem in computer vision, has the attention of researchers for its need of different applications. Event cameras are used to support moving object detection missions depending on the event camera efficiently capturing the events of moving objects compared to classic cameras. In this paper, we proposed a model […]
Factors Influencing Mobile Payment Adoption and Its Role in Promoting Financial Inclusion: An Integrated Reflective Model with Theory of Planned Behavior
Abstract This paper investigates the factors influencing mobile payment adoption and its contribution to financial inclusion, which seems sparse and lacking in the literature. Over 75% of Palestinian adults are excluded from financial services by banks and other non-bank financial institutions, so mobile payment is expected to bridge this gap. A quantitative approach was employed […]
Attitudes toward the Integration of Radiographers into the First-Line Interpretation of Imaging Using the Red Dot System
Abstract To apply the radiation protection optimization concept, the current study compares the average doses utilized to produce the most popular CT scans of neck and cervical spine at the Al-Makkased Hospital in Jerusalem and its affiliated medical facilities around the world. The study employs a hybrid research methodology concept. The current study compares the […]
Efficient Method to Message-Image Cryptography Using Reordered Image-Key
Color image may be secret or holding secret data, also secret messages may be so confidential. To protect these data, we have to use a simple and efficient method. In this research a method of data encryption-decryption will be presented. The suggested method will use a complicated PK to apply image encryption/decryption using XORing operation, […]
