The nature of the Vela X-ray ”jet”, recently discovered by Markwardt & Ögelman (1995), is examined. It is suggested that the ”jet” arises along the interface of domelike deformations of the Rayleigh-Taylor unstable shell of the Vela supernova remnant; thereby the ”jet” is interpreted as a part of the general shell of the remnant. The origin of deformations as well as the general structure of th...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect on shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant, and enamel surface of repeated bonding of new brackets on the same tooth using different methods of enamel conditioning. One hundred and thirty-five bovine incisors were used. Brackets were bonded to enamel using one of the following conditioning procedures: (1) 37 per cent phosphoric acid, (2) 37...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical results of 3 posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques according to the time from injury to surgery and remnant PCL status and to evaluate the efficiency of each technique. METHODS The records of 89 patients who underwent primary PCL reconstructions with a posterolateral corner sling were analyzed retrospectiv...

There is eternal discussion on the best surgical method of pancreatoduodenectomy and reconstruction method. Several different methods of pancreatic stump anastomosis exist. The most popular argument taken into account in the discussion is the frequency of early postoperative complications. Relatively fewer papers analyse the late functional outcome of pancreatic surgery and the method of anasto...

The stoichiometric recovery and accompanying changes of subsurface atomic structure of Ar ion sputtered, oxygen deficient a-Fe2O3(0001) are studied with X-ray scattering. Although oxygen annealing up to 735 C results in a stoichiometric top surface layer manifested as a (1 · 1) surface structure, the X-ray scattering reveals the existence of a non-stoichiometric phase in the subsurface region. ...

Only a few case reports of remnant cystic duct carcinoma exist. The presented case of remnant cystic duct carcinoma with invasion to pylorus and bulbus of duodenum leading to gastric outlet obstruction was the first of its kind. We reviewed all cases of remnant cystic duct carcinoma that we found in the literature and summarized its definition, presentation, extent of invasion and clinical outc...

Aim: To investigate the risk factors of gastric remnant cancer. Methods: A search on PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of SCIENCE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang was performed to identify relevant literature published from January 1990 to May 2014. The effect of gastric remnant cancer was estimated by risk ratio (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each study using a fixed effects or random...

OBJECTIVE Anomalies of the urachal remnant are rare. Urachal cysts are usually asymptomatic, however, when they become infected, they can mimic a wide variety of intra-abdominal pathologies. We present two patients in which an urachal cyst was found. METHODS Two male patients 25 and 38 years old respectively underwent laparoscopic resection of an urachal remnant. In one of the cases the urach...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The incidence of gastric remnant carcinoma does not decrease after partial gastrectomy The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and prognosis of gastric remnant carcinoma after treatment. METHODOLOGY Among 412 gastric carcinoma patients who were admitted to our hospital 21 were found to have gastric remnant carcinoma. We analyzed their clinicopathological fe...

The binding of chylomicron remnants rat liver plasma membranes was studied. Liver membranes bound up to 8 times more remnants than they bound chylomicrons. The remnant particle appeared to bind to the membrane as a unit. Remnant binding was greatest to liver plasma membrane; only one third as much binding was observed with whole liver homogenate, and virtually no binding occurred to erythrocyte...
