From the study it is observed that population with positive hormone receptors (ER/PR +) and living in the urban areas is experiencing survival rate.
Peri-operative macroscopic margin assessment with standard intraoperative specimen radiography (IOSR) results in improved re-excision rates in excised breast tissue specimens but is limited. This study sought to improve the intraoperative margin assessment on standard IOSR techniques by utilizing noninvasive X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of breast tissue specimens to compare margins in three-dimensional with two-dimensional IOSR.

Patients with impalpable breast carcinoma, or suspected breast carcinoma, who were eligible for breast-conserving surgery were recruited. Margins were assessed within each specimen using standard IOSR, micro-CT, and histology techniques.

Six malignant and three benign lesions were included for the analysis in this study. Micro-CT identified the same positive margin as IOSR in 3 out of 6 malignancies. However, margin status identified by micro-CT was concordant with pathological assessment in only one specimen. In comparison, margin assessment by IOSR correctly correlated with pathological margin status in three malignant specimens.

The use of micro-CT imaging in this study did not improve margin assessment in impalpable breast specimens when compared to standard specimen radiography (SR) assessment. However, future improvements in sample preparation and CT image acquisition processes may enhance the potential of micro-CT as a valuable imaging tool for improving margin assessment.

Women in developing countries usually delay in presenting their symptoms as a part of the early diagnosis program. This study was conducted for analyzing the reason of patient's delay and its relation with socioeconomic and health conditions, knowledge, and women's belief about breast cancer (BC).

This study used a cross-sectional design in the early detection center in Kurdistan (North Iraq). Women were interviewed about socioeconomic and health background, knowledge, and belief about BC.

The median of patient delay in the BC symptomatic women in this study was higher (30 days) as compared with developed countries. Patient delay was longer in women who were widows, had a barely self-perceived economic status, and had chronic diseases. There was a significant relationship of patient delay with women's health motivation and perceived barrier to seeking medical care.

Health promotion program should emphasize on the women's motivation about early diagnosis and seeking to early detection.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), a type I transmembrane protein of the epithelial tissues and known cell adhesion molecule, has been demonstrated to have critical role in carcinogenesis. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Aloxistatin.html In breast cancer, EpCAM expression has been associated with poor prognosis. The expression pattern of EpCAM across molecular subtypes of breast carcinoma has been studied in patients reporting to a South Indian multispecialty tertiary care hospital. The prognostic significance of EpCAM expression pattern and probable response to therapy has also been addressed.

EpCAM expression was assessed by immunohistochemical studies on 200 breast carcinoma tissue samples of different molecular subtypes, including luminal A, luminal B, Her2Neu, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The expression was scored using the standard scoring system. A correlation was drawn with detailed clinicopathologic annotation and available outcomes data to analyze the influence of EpCAM on prognosis.

EpCAM expression varied significantly in the different intrinsic subtypes of breast carcinoma. Differential expression was also established with different grades of breast carcinoma with varying levels of differentiation. We observed strong EpCAM expression in TNBC among other subtypes.

The differential expression of EpCAM among intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer and the correlation of EpCAM expression with high-grade breast carcinoma shown in the study have important implications in understanding the role of EpCAM and might form the basis for developing targeted therapies in breast cancer in the future.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in Indian females. The irradiation of internal mammary lymph nodal area (IMLN) is recommended by latest guidelines and literature, even in patients with N1 nodal disease, but it is not routinely done in many institutes due to the risk of late lung and heart toxicities. The incidence of isolated IMLN recurrence <1%. The incidental radiation therapy (RT) dose to axillary lymph nodal area (ALN) could result in lower local recurrences according to literature. The aim of this study is to assess the incidental IMLN area RT dose in patients treated with forward planning intensity-modulated RT (FIF-IMRT).

The aim of our study is to evaluate the RT dose received by IMLN area incidentally in FIF-IMRT and is a single-institute dosimetric study. The patients planned for RT after breast conservation surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (MRM) were evaluated for IMLN incidental dose.

The mean doses to IMLN area (D
) were comparable to literature for both BCS and MRM patients. All other dose parameters (D95, D90) in our study were slightly lower but comparable to literature for the FIF-IMRT planning. Interestingly, the incidental IMLN RT doses in our study are in the same range as the incidental ALN RT doses studied in the literature (48%-68%).

The IMLN area receives a major amount of incidental radiation dose during conformal RT by FIF-IMRT and higher doses for MRM than BCS. This RT dose is not in the therapeutic range but is comparable to the incidental dose to ALN area reported in the literature.

The new mutants, namely, the slr1-d7 and slr1-d8 lines, are valuable semi-dominant dwarf alleles with potential application value for molecule breeding using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in rice.Seventy-eight graviera cheese samples produced in five different regions of Greece were characterized and discriminated according to geographical origin. For the above purpose, pH, titratable acidity (TA), NaCl, proteins, fat on a dry weight basis, ash, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds, and minerals were determined. Both multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were applied to experimental data to achieve sample geographical discrimination. The results showed that the combination of fatty acid composition plus minerals provided a correct classification rate of 89.7%. The value for the combination of fatty acid compositions plus conventional quality parameters was 94.9% and for the combination of minerals plus conventional quality parameters was 97.4%. When cheeses of the above five geographical origins were combined with previously studied graviera cheeses from six other geographical origins collected during the same seasons in Greece, the respective values for the discrimination of geographical origin of all eleven origins were 89.3% for conventional quality parameters plus minerals; 94.0% for conventional quality parameters plus fatty acids; 94.1% for minerals plus fatty acids; and 95.2% for conventional quality parameters plus minerals plus fatty acids. Such high correct classification rates demonstrate the robustness of the developed statistical model.The rare genus Ducrosia (Apiaceae family) consists of six species, which are mainly native to Asia, specifically to Iran and Iraq. The aerial parts of D. anethifolia, as the most common species, have been traditionally consumed to relieve headache, backache and colic pain, and have also been used as an anxiolytic, an antidepressant, and for treating insomnia. The antispasmodic and carminative effects of D. assadii, and the analgesic activity of D. flabellifolia, along with the insecticidal activities and use as a remedy of skin infections of D. ismaelis, have been previously documented. Among the 49 non-volatile secondary metabolites identified from D. anethifolia and D. ismaelis, 17 linear furanocoumarins and 8 flavonoids have been characterized. The essential oil compositions of four species, including D. anethifolia, D. assadii, D. flabellifolia and D. ismaelis, have been analyzed, whereby aldehyde hydrocarbons, including decanal (10.1‒74.0%) and dodecanal (7.2‒33.41%), and α-pinene (4.0‒70.3%), were identified as the main aroma constituents. From the species of the genus, the bioactivities of D. anethifolia, as well as D. ismaelis, D. assadii and D. flabellifolia, have been previously investigated. Except one clinical trial, all the pharmacological data are derived from preclinical tests, predominantly focusing on antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities in vitro, and neuroprotective, antidiabetic and analgesic effects in vivo. Considering the vast ethnobotanical uses of the plants in Iranian folk medicine, the phytochemical and pharmacological analysis of un-investigated species might be promising. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/epacadostat-incb024360.html Furthermore, due to extensive consumption of the Ducrosia genus, more scientific data are needed to support the safety and efficacy of these plants.The development of alloplastic resorbable materials can revolutionize the field of implantation technology in regenerative medicine. Additional opportunities to colonize the three-dimensionally (3D) printed constructs with the patient's own cells prior to implantation can improve the regeneration process but requires optimization of cultivation protocols. Human platelet lysate (hPL) has already proven to be a suitable replacement for fetal calf serum (FCS) in 2D and 3D cell cultures. In this study, we investigated the in vitro biocompatibility of the printed RESOMER® Filament LG D1.75 materials as well as the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultivated on 3D printed constructs under the influence of different medium supplements (FCS, human serum (HS) and hPL). Additionally, the in vitro degradation of the material was studied over six months. We demonstrated that LG D1.75 is biocompatible and has no in vitro cytotoxic effects on hMSCs. Furthermore, hMSCs grown on the constructs could be differentiated into osteoblasts, especially supported by supplementation with hPL. Over six months under physiological in vitro conditions, a distinct degradation was observed, which, however, had no influence on the biocompatibility of the material. Thus, the overall suitability of the material LG D1.75 to produce 3D printed, resorbable bone implants and the promising use of hPL in the xeno-free cultivation of human MSCs on such implants for autologous transplantation have been demonstrated.Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is an advanced machining method which removes metal by a series of recurring electrical discharges between an electrode and a conductive workpiece, submerged in a dielectric fluid. Even though EDM techniques are widely used to cut hard materials, low efficiency and high tool wear remain remarkable challenges in this process. Various studies, such as mixing different powders to dielectric fluids, are progressing to improve their efficiency. This paper reviews advances in the powder-mixed EDM process. Furthermore, studies about various powders used for the process and its comparison are carried out. This review looks at the objectives of achieving a more efficient metal removal rate, reduction in tool wear, and improved surface quality of the powder-mixed EDM process. Moreover, this paper helps researchers select suitable powders which are exhibiting better results and identifying different aspects of powder-mixed dielectric fluid of EDM.One of the primary current astrobiological goals is to understand the limits of microbial resistance to extraterrestrial conditions. Much attention is paid to ionizing radiation, since it can prevent the preservation and spread of life outside the Earth. The aim of this research was to study the impact of accelerated He ions (150 MeV/n, up to 1 kGy) as a component of the galactic cosmic rays on the black fungus C. antarcticus when mixed with Antarctic sandstones-the substratum of its natural habitat-and two Martian regolith simulants, which mimics two different evolutionary stages of Mars. The high dose of 1 kGy was used to assess the effect of dose accumulation in dormant cells within minerals, under long-term irradiation estimated on a geological time scale. The data obtained suggests that viable Earth-like microorganisms can be preserved in the dormant state in the near-surface scenario for approximately 322,000 and 110,000 Earth years within Martian regolith that mimic early and present Mars environmental conditions, respectively.

23% inhibition at 1000 µg/ml. The outcomes of the present study indicated that the HWE possesses a potential antidiabetic activity both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, it can be used as a nontoxic complementary drug in the controlling of diabetes and related complications, thus providing scientific authentication of its use as an antidiabetic agent. © 2020 The Author(s).Renin angiotensin system (RAS) is an endocrine system widely known for its physiological roles in electrolyte homeostasis, body fluid volume regulation and cardiovascular control in peripheral circulation. However, brain RAS is an independent form of RAS expressed locally in the brain, which is known to be involved in brain functions and disorders. There is strong evidence for a major involvement of excessive brain angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)/Angiotensin II (Ang II)/Angiotensin type-1 receptor (AT-1R) axis in increased activation of oxidative stress, apoptosis and neuroinflammation causing neurodegeneration in several brain disorders. Numerous studies have demonstrated strong neuroprotective effects by blocking AT1R in these brain disorders. Additionally, the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Angiotensin (1-7)/Mas receptor (MASR), is another axis of brain RAS which counteracts the damaging effects of ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis on neurons in the brain. Thus, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and activation of ACE2/Angiotensin (1-7)/MASR axis may serve as an exciting and novel method for neuroprotection in several neurodegenerative diseases. Here in this review article, we discuss the expression of RAS in the brain and highlight how altered RAS level may cause neurodegeneration. Understanding the pathophysiology of RAS and their links to neurodegeneration has enormous potential to identify potentially effective pharmacological tools to treat neurodegenerative diseases in the brain. © 2020 The Authors.Objective The study aims at discussing the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotides on protecting hemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. Method Male mice aged 4-5 weeks and weighing about 22-35 g in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital are divided into three groups sham group, collagenase intracerebral hemorrhage model (cICH + Vehicle) group and collagenase nicotinamide mononucleotide (cICH + NMN) group. Then, the intervention therapy research is carried out. After 24 h, the neurological function, brain edema, hematoma volume, body weight, hemorrhage volume, RNA expression level, apoptosis, inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in surrounding tissues of mice are analyzed comprehensively. Results Compared with the other two groups, nicotinamide mononucleotides in MCAO model have significant effects on improving neurological function, brain edema, inflammatory factors, body weight and cell apoptosis in mice, but have no significant effect on hemorrhage volume and hematoma volume in mice. Conclusion Nicotinamide mononucleotides can significantly improve the collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model in mice under MCAO model, and they can protect the brain tissue of mice from RNA level to tissue cell level or mouse body weight and volume level. © 2019 The Author(s).This study investigated the in vitro antioxidant, proapoptotic and anti-proliferative activity of phycocyanin extracted from Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) algae extract loaded on albumin nanoparticle (ULANP). The characterization of ULANP profile was done by using FTIR and its cytotoxicity was investigated by using MTT assay against HepG2 and MCF7 cell lines. The proapoptotic markers caspase 8 & 9 were measured. Analysis of ULANP by FTIR showed the characteristic band (2100 cm-1 ~3700 cm-1) that is indicated primarily by -COO, -CO and conjugated double bond. These bonds showed the spectral band at peaks of 2985 cm-1 and 2860 cm-1, 2986 cm-1 respectively. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/NVP-BHG712.html The antioxidant potential and radical scavenging property of ULANP was also appreciable as compared to the vitamin C and gallic acid. The antiproliferative assay carried out by WST-1 suggests that ULANP was effective against both HepG2 (93.17%) and MCF7 (91.3%). Caspase-8 and -9 were significantly elevated (p  less then  0.001) in both the cell lines of breast and liver cancer. It was concluded that ULANP induced anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities on liver and breast cancer. It is promising as a novel antitumor activity for further investigation the mechanistic pathways mediated this action. © 2020 The Author.A fast and simple technique is proposed for the detection and quantitative determination of six non-polar pesticides including pyrethroids (cypermethrin, deltamethrin), organochlorines (hexachlorobenzene, α-hexachlorocyclohexane) and organophosphorus (chlorpyrifos, fenitrothion) accumulated in fat tissues of local cattle, sheep and goats. Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry detection (GC-MS) adapted to cleanup procedures based on solid-phase extraction from QuEChERS method was adopted. The work was performed for quantitative affirmation of most customarily used pesticides in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region of Iraq and also the impact of boiling (100 °C, 30 min) and broiling (176 °C, 20 min) on chosen pesticides was evaluated. Among the results of 150 fat samples presented, the dominant compound in cattle samples was hexachlorobenzene (0.236 mg kg-1); while, in sheep and goats it was deltamethrin (0.248 and 0.122 mg kg-1 respectively). Boiling reduced pesticide concentration significantly (P  less then  0.05) and the most reduced group was pyrethroids in both techniques. Good responses for the six analytes were obtained at validation level of 0.01-0.1 mg kg-1. The linear coefficient was between 0.9997 and 0.9999 and limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) ranged 0.0052-0.014 mg kg-1 and 0.015-0.044 mg kg-1 respectively. Acceptable recoveries (81.5-98.6%) and relative standard deviation (0.3-9.3%) were obtained in different spiked levels. The validation results confirmed that the proposed GC-MS technique can be utilized as a dependable screening apparatus for the quantitative screening of studied pesticides in fat tissues with accuracy and sensitivity, if deployed along with solid-phase extraction based QuEChERS method. © 2019 The Author(s).

An issue of major policy interest in the U.S. military has been interpersonal violence (IPV), especially relative to the frequent and lengthy deployments of U.S. service members to Iraq and Afghanistan. Lacking, however, are estimates of perpetrators of IPV, in particular, for reservists who have been 30% of the ground combat force. In the present study, Army National Guard soldiers (N = 4,567 in 50 company-sized units) responded to questions about deployment and combat, IPV, and suicidal behaviors. Over a tenth (12.2%) of the soldiers reported having done any aggressive behaviors toward significant others or children during postdeployment. More lengthy and repeated deployments were associated with perpetration of IPV. Having killed or wounded someone and having experienced some form of combat trauma were much more strongly associated with IPV perpetration. Suicidal behaviors were associated with having committed IPV, with the greatest risk associated with suicide attempts. Findings are discussed in terms of underlying mechanisms of both IPV perpetration and suicidal behaviors.Individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) evidenced high levels of aggression both before and after the onset of opioid misuse. Continued aggression after abstinence suggested that abstinence alone may be inadequate. The present study investigated dispositional mindfulness in relation to aggressive attitudes, and verbal and physical aggression, by reviewing medical records of 163 adults in residential treatment for OUD. Results of hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for age and alcohol/drug use and problems, revealed a negative relationship between dispositional mindfulness and both aggressive attitudes and verbal aggression. Although dispositional mindfulness negatively related to physical aggression at the bivariate level, only alcohol use and problems related to physical aggression in regression analyses. Mindfulness-based treatments may be a useful avenue for targeting aggression within this population.
Previous studies have shown that mindfulness is associated with fewer cyberbullying behaviors in adolescents. The present study investigated the ways in which mindfulness is related to cyberbullying in Chinese adolescents by considering the role of empathy and perceived social support.

A total of 1,390 Chinese high school students were recruited for this study. Adolescents' self-reports of mindfulness, cyberbullying, empathy, and perceived social support were used in the analyses.

The results showed our model fitted the data well [χ

= 2.413, CFI = 0.968, TLI = 0.958, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.059 (0.040-0.078)], and revealed empathy and perceived social support partially mediate the relationship between mindfulness and cyberbullying.

The results of this study indicate adolescents' mindfulness plays a crucial role on the likelihood of cyberbullying as well as empathy and perceived social support. Improving the mindfulness skills of adolescents should be considered by teachers and parents seeking to decrease cyberbullying.

Fewer efforts have been made from a positive theoretical framework, and no systematic evidence has been provided. This manuscript describes a literature review and meta-analysis on the relationship between victimization experiences and well-being in adulthood. A literature review was performed, and 27 studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review 16 for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis yielded a medium and significant overall effect size (r = -0.309, p less then .001), which indicated that greater victimization experiences partly explain lower well-being outcomes. A set of theoretical and methodological issues are discussed, specifically considering the conceptualization of victimization and well-being as well as the studies design, sample characteristics, measures, and data analysis. Derived from this integrative discussion, some recommendations are also provided for future research.In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, military healthcare teams were deployed to London to assist the London Ambulance Service t transfer ventilated patients between medical facilities. This paper describes the preparation and activity of these military teams, records the lessons identified (LI) and reviews the complications encountered'. The teams each had two members. A consultant or registrar in emergency medicine (EM) and pre-hospitalemergency medicine (PHEM)E or anaesthesia and an emergency nurse or paramedic. Following a period of training, the teams undertook 52 transfers over a 14-day period. LI centred around minimising both interruption to ventilation and risk of aerosolisation of infectious particles and thus the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to the treating clinicians. Three patient-related complications (6% of all transfers) were identified. This was the first occasion on which the Defence Medical Services (DMS) were the main focus of a large-scale clinical military aid to the civil authorities. It demonstrated that DMS personnel have the flexibility to deliver a novel effect and the ability to seamlessly and rapidly integrate with a civilian organisation. It highlighted some clinical lessons that may be useful for future prehospital emergency care taskings where patients may have a transmissible respiratory pathogen. It also showed that clinicians from different backgrounds are able to safely undertake secondary transfer of ventilated patients. This approacmay enhance flexibility in future operational patient care pathways.To investigate the heterogeneity of decidual stromal cells (DSCs) and their functional alterations during delivery, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing analysis to characterize the transcriptomic profiles of DSCs before and after labor onset. According to their transcriptomic profiles, DSCs (6382 cells) were clustered into five subgroups with different functions. Similar to stromal cells, cells in cluster 1 were involved in cell substrate adhesion. On the other hand, cells in clusters 2 and 3 were enriched in signal transduction-related genes. Labor onset led to significant alterations in many pathways, including the activator protein 1 pathway (all clusters), as well as in the response to lipopolysaccharide (clusters 1-3). The downregulated genes were involved in coagulation, ATP synthesis, and oxygen homeostasis, possibly reflecting the oxygen and energy balance during delivery. Our findings highlight that peripartum DSCs are heterogeneous and play multiple roles in labor.

https://wifidb.science/wiki/20_Ft_Tunnel_Container_Whats_The_Only_Thing_Nobody_Is_Talking_About Shipping Container

Also known as double door shipping containers, tunnel containers have two cargo doors at each end. This makes them ideal for items that are large.

The 2013 KOBE Biennale saw the designers Masakazu Shirane and Saya Miyazaki design an amazing container tunnel. It is the first instance of Zipper Architecture, where the surfaces are able to open and close as windows.

Easy Loading and Unloading

It's essential that your cargo is secured regardless of whether you're using a box for shipping to store items or transport them. Otherwise, you're at risk of damage to your possessions and the possibility of your shipment falling during transit. Utilize load securing material to keep your items in place to avoid these problems. This includes load bars, straps as well as plywood bracing, and dunnage bags.

Tunnel containers are the most practical for storing and transporting cargo. They are easy to access. They have double doors at both ends. This makes it simple to load or unload items. This makes them a great option for loading vehicles such as motorbikes and snowmobiles.

Tunnel containers are popular for storing heavy machinery and equipment. Dual entry points make it much easier to get your equipment in and out of the container without having to reverse a vehicle or tractor. They're also great for onsite storage since they can be altered with an opening down the middle to make two functional units out of one container.



In addition to having the standard double doors on both ends of the walls, tunnel containers have an additional door in the side (long) wall. This allows them to have the same access as storage containers with an open side, but at a cost that is lower.

Tunnel containers can also be equipped with side windows and lighting. This lets them function as a storage area or office. This kind of alteration is very cost effective when you have a lot of equipment to store.

Tunnel shipping containers can also be fitted with a refrigeration system, which is an effective way to preserve temperature-sensitive goods. These containers are also known as refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers. They can be utilized in a variety of applications that include cold storage and food distribution.

Enhanced Security

When it comes to storing valuable or sensitive items, security is of the most crucial importance. Shipping containers are designed to be extremely secured, but there are additional features that can improve security. These modification options include steel window bars, alarm systems, and surveillance cameras. These options can be put in both inside and outside the container making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access.

In addition to these security features, a tunnel container can be fitted with high-security locks. This secures the door and stops the entry of anyone who is not authorized. A locking box can be used to guard the lock, increasing security by preventing tampering. A crossbar lock can also be added that extends across the doors of the container and makes it harder to break them open.

Shipping container tunnels are also extremely versatile and can be modified to satisfy a variety of requirements. They can be used as an office or workshop and provide a safe environment for workers who are in stressful situations. In addition, they can be adapted to accommodate a wide range of machinery and equipment. They can also be fitted with a ventilation system and fork pockets, allowing them to be easily moved on large industrial forklifts.

Contrary to the standard ISO shipping containers, which have doors on one side, tunnel container features double cargo doors at both ends. This allows for quick and efficient access which is crucial when storing large vehicles and other equipment. These characteristics make tunnel shipping containers an ideal option for those who require the highest degree of flexibility and efficiency.

These units were previously used as ballistic shelters for workers who were working in hostile environments. Particularly, they were transported to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a constant reality. The container for shipping ballistics was designed and built by local engineers in collaboration with workers to provide a secure haven from their workstations. The containers also made it simple to access emergency supplies. The ballistic containers were made of high-quality Corten steel, known for its exceptional durability.

Versatility

A tunnel shipping container is a specially designed container that has double cargo doors on both ends of the unit. These containers are also referred to as double-door containers or tunnel boxes. They permit easy access to the container's interior from either end. This makes them more flexible and usability. These specialized storage units can be used as tunnels, or can be modified from standard containers. The solid part of the standard container is removed, and new double doors are welded to the container to create two-way access for the interior.

Tunnel containers are a popular way to store large machinery or equipment. With access to your cargo from both sides of the container, you can easily load or unload large equipment without needing to back up your vehicle and risk losing your cargo. The dual-end doors also allow for a simple rotation of your stored items, which is essential in high-frequency applications like steel or construction work.

In addition to being extremely versatile, tunnel containers are also very cost-effective. They are typically less expensive than traditional storage options and they're perfect for intermodal transport, as they can be easily transported by flatbed trucks or trains. They can also be outfitted with sophisticated security systems or ventilation systems according to your requirements.

Security is also enhanced due to the dual-end doors that are found on tunnel containers. They let you check your stored items from both sides. This can reduce the possibility of theft and loss. This feature is particularly useful when it comes to storing expensive equipment or other materials.

Tunnel shipping containers aren't just functional but also long-lasting and durable. They are constructed from sturdy corten steel, which is believed to be among the strongest and most long-lasting metals in the world. The steel-framed containers are designed to withstand the rigors of ocean travel and a lifetime of use.

A tunnel container is the perfect solution for secure storage at home or in your business. They're not only robust and affordable, they are also versatile enough to turn into a charming living room or a cozy home-office. These shipping containers are stylish and modern, and will enhance the aesthetics of any home or business.

Cost-Effectiveness

Comparatively to traditional shipping, tunnel containers come with several benefits that can help businesses save money. They don't require a crane which is a significant advantage. This is a significant savings for businesses that have to lease cranes on a continuous basis for loading and unloading cargo. Another advantage is that they can be elevated above conventional containers. This can save space in storage yards and reduces shipping costs. They are also a good option for businesses that require storage or transportation of large machinery.

Contrary to traditional shipping containers that are used for shipping, the tunnel container features double doors at both ends. This design makes it much easier to get items into storage than containers with only one door. It also assists in speeding the handling of containers and improve efficiency at the port. This helps reduce delays and other costs that are associated with container arrangement on ships.

A tunnel container is a good choice for transporting equipment and machinery. Our customers have used tunnel containers to transport everything from generators to water treatment plants to tents and awnings for roadshows. The double-end access also facilitates faster and more efficient loading of equipment and supplies into the units.

They are available in new 'one trip' condition and can be customised for various uses. For instance, you could convert a tunnel container to a portable security office by adding a turnstile or a manual secure entry checkpoint. You can also turn them into food and retail stalls for events or markets.

Tunnel containers are also a great solution to store plant equipment and offer easy, secure access to employees. Some companies have turned tunnel containers into offices, allowing workers to stay in the workplace while saving money. They can also be easily transported to the next location of a trade show or road show, reducing time and expense on set up. They can also be equipped with a retractable roofing system to provide additional protection against weather-related hazards.
