This report summarizes the results of 64 percutaneous catheter drainage of abdominal abscesses and fluid collections in 56 patients. Aspiration and drainage was guided with computed tomography in 34 patients and with ultrasound in 30 patients. Success rate was 90%. Infected collections were successfully drained in 94% and noninfected collections in 72% . Partial success was achieved in two...

Introduction: In a retrospective study, we evaluated the frequency, clinical presentation, and management of lymphocele in kidney transplant recipients operated on in a single center. Materials and Methods: Between September 1984 and June 2005, we had 2147 kidney transplantations from living donors. During the follow-up period, ultrasonography was performed in symptomatic patients and those wit...

in this paper, we introduce a class of $j$-quasipolar rings. let $r$ be a ring with identity. an element $a$ of a ring $r$ is called {it weakly $j$-quasipolar} if there exists $p^2 = pin comm^2(a)$ such that $a + p$ or $a-p$ are contained in $j(r)$ and the ring $r$ is called {it weakly $j$-quasipolar} if every element of $r$ is weakly $j$-quasipolar. we give many characterizations and investiga...

original paper   the mass-transfer media plays a significant role on the performance of a packed tower. in this paper three counter-current single-stage packed towers at laboratory scale, randomly packed with two different sizes of two types of packing material were experimentally tested to study the role of the packing on the performance of them in the removal of sulfuric acid mists. gas sampl...

A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$, is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in$L$. $f$-ring $mathcal{R}(L_{ tau})$ is equal to the set $${fin Frm(mathcal{P}(mathbb R), L): f(mathfrak{O}(mathbb R))subseteq tau} .$$ In this paper, for every complemented element $ain L$ with $a, a'...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). METHODS Twenty-four patients who were scheduled to undergo single-port VATS for SSP were studied. The medical records of the patients were retrospectively reviewed. The mean follow-up duration was 26.1±19.8 months....

in this paper, we investigate various kinds of extensions of twin-good rings. moreover, we prove that every element of an abelian neat ring r is twin-good if and only if r has no factor ring isomorphic to z2  or z3. the main result of [24] states some conditions that any right self-injective ring r is twin-good. we extend this result to any regular baer ring r by proving that every element of a...

Sand coverings account for a large part of the cost of a project. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of different coatings for filtration of underground drains and reduce the cost of cornfield farms. The experiments were carried out in farm in Salman Farsi. The subsoil drainage was fitted to each test piece with a length of 120 meters, a diameter of 100 mm, and a distance ...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic drainage to multiple basins (MLBD) is frequently observed in patients with primary melanoma located in the trunk. Conflicting data regarding the prognostic impact of MLBD are reported. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS We reviewed our case series of 352 patients with trunk melanoma to evaluate the pattern of basin drainage and to analyse whether different basin drainages may have dif...
