INTRODUCTION Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a particular lesion in traumatology that may be neglected. Thus, the diagnosis may be delayed for a few days to several months and only be made following a complication. The left diaphragmatic cupola is the most touched. Tension fecopneumothorax following diaphragmatic hernia perforation in the pleural cavity is a rare but particularly severe ...

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs in apparently healthy young people with an incidence of 12.5 cases per 100000 per year [1]. Attempts to develop standardised care guidelines for this condition have been severely hampered by a lack of high-quality clinical research into this condition. The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) concluded in 2001 that “insufficient data exist.....

In recent years, developed societies have largely adopted smart systems operating on the basis of information extracted from data. For infrastructure systems as well, structural health monitoring (SHM) has long advocated a data-driven scheme for facilitating the operation and maintenance of infrastructure. In materializing such a goal, this paper demonstrates the procedures and outcomes of a SH...

The geometries of metal clusters and supramolecular architectures that contain nine metal atoms are analyzed within the framework of continuous shape measures (CShM). The most common polyhedra in nine coordinate complexes, the capped square antiprism and the tricapped trigonal prism, are also found among these families of compounds, even if much more scarcely. In addition, a variety of new shap...

Abstract Jarosite sludge coming from the hydrometallurgical zinc production route is a hazardous material, which currently neutralized and landfilled by so-called Jarofix® process. The present study aims to assess mechanical metallurgical properties of briquettes made jarosite powder with blast furnace sludges, acting as reductant recover iron oxide in form pig produce an inert slag, increasing...

BACKGROUND Despite the introduction of minimally invasive approaches for various benign uterine problems, hysterectomy is often still performed abdominally, but the vaginal route should be used whenever possible. The aim of this study was to identify the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics of women undergoing vaginal hysterectomy in the absence of uterine prolapse. ...

Grounded theory proposes that abstract concepts (e.g., power) are represented by perceptions of vertical space (e.g., up is powerful; down is powerless). We used this theory to examine predictions made by evolutionary psychologists who suggest that desirable males are those who have status and resources (i.e., powerful) while desirable females are those who are youthful and faithful (i.e., powe...
