BackgroundClinical and preclinical studies suggested that certain mutagens occurring as a reaction of creatine, amino acids, and sugar during the high temperature of cooking meat are involved in the pathogenesis of human cancer.Here we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine whether meat mutagens [PhIP, MeIQx, DiMeIQx, total HCA,
Tension pneumothorax (TPX) is a severe chest complication of blunt or penetrating trauma.Immediate decompression is the lifesaving action in patients with TPX.Needle decompression (ND) is frequently used for this purpose, particularly in limited resources setting such as the prehospital arena.Despite the safe Book profile, the blind nature of the p
Shelterbelts (or windbreaks) can effectively improve the microclimate and soil conditions of adjacent farmland and thus increase crop yield.However, the individual contribution of these two factors to yield changes is still unclear since the short-term effect from the microclimate and the accumulated effect from the soil jointly affect crop yield.T

Sparse demixing aims Tank to separate signals that are sparse in some general dictionary, which has wide applications in signal and image processing, such as in super-resolution, image inpainting, robust sparse recovery, source separation, interference cancellation, saturation, and clipping restoration.For sparsity promotion in sparse demixing, the
