Systemic inflammatory indices as a non-invasive grading modality for endometriosis: a comparative study versus exploratory laparoscopy by Ahmed Sabra Ibrahim Mohammed Sabra, Shreen Naguib Aboelezz Moselhy, Ahmed Kasem Mohamed Zain Eldin

“…Statistical analyses defined high SIRI and NLR as the significant predictors for positive laparoscopy and high serum CA125 and NLR as the most significant predictors for severe EM (stage III-IV) on laparoscopy Conclusion: The intimate relation between EM and inflammation was reflected systematically as high levels of blood cellular components, but indices related to neutrophil especially NLR and SIRI showed highly significant relation to the presence and severity of EM and might be used as routine, cheap and non-invasive screening test before exploratory laparoscopy to guide the decision-making.…”

Multiscale Time-Splitting Strategy for Multiscale Multiphysics Processes of Two-Phase Flow in Fractured Media by Jisheng Kou, Shuyu Sun, Bo Yu

“…We use the multi-scale time schemes for both the pressure and saturation equations; that is, a large time-step size is employed for the matrix domain, along with a small time-step size being applied in the fractures. The total time interval is partitioned into four temporal levels: the first level is used for the pressure in the entire domain, the second level matching rapid changes of the pressure in the fractures, the third level treating the response gap between the pressure and the saturation, and the fourth level applied for the saturation in the fractures. …”
