conclusions in our conditions, the use of an anatomical landmark-guided procedure was the preferred treatment method due to limited resources and a lack of adequate training. background central venous cannulation is a current and important procedure used in the operating room and intensive care unit. some studies have shown that the application of ultrasound-guided cannulation can improve the s...

Purpose: To evaluate the association between side of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and jugular sigmoid notch areas. Methods: A total 265 patients (111 women 154 men) with a mean age 68.8±11.7 years (range 50 to 90 years) sICH, were retrospectively enrolled. Control group harbored 45 (19 26 68.3±11.9 years). Jugular areas measured on axial plane CT images, for both right left in stu...

Figure 1: The echo-colour doppler and CT show the complications of an extreme endovascular treatment. (A) Occlusion of the right jugular vein, patency of the trunk of the brachiocephalic and subclavian vein and thrombosis of the left jugular vein and the brachiocephalic trunk with residual stenosis of 70%. (B) The extreme treatment and endovascular stenting (CT view). (C) Occlusion of the right...

Category width, as defined by Pettigrew's (1958) Category Width Scale, is a cognitive variable that purportedly reveals individual differences in categorization strategy. Subjects differ in terms of broadness and narrowness of judgments of category width--to what extent they will accept exemplars as good instances of a category. We tested the hypothesis that category width would be related to h...

Populations of introduced species in their new environments are expected to differ from native populations, due to processes such as genetic drift, founder effects and local adaptation, which can often result in rapid phenotypic change. Such processes can also lead to changes in the genetic structure of these populations. This study investigated the populations of Rhododendron ponticum in its i...

in this project, first we introduced a general rule for the design of drying processes and then, we have applied microsoft excel for this purpose. belt dryer is one of the most common dryers in the food industry. in this study, our aim was to process carrot by this dryer. we optimized the target function (total annual cost or tac) and investigated the influence of design variables on this targe...
