purpose : to evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions (lris) for corneal astigmatism correction during phacoemulsification methods : 24 eyes of 24 patients with the mean age of 65.71 years (range: 55 to 83 years) with senile cataracts and mean corneal astigmatism of 1.9±0.83 diopters (d) (range: 1.5 to 3.5 d) were included in this study. all lris were performed during phaco...

tragacanth gum is one of the most important medicinal and industrial productsof rangelands and is obtained from the incision of gum tragacanth-producing astragalusincluding astragalus keyserlingii. the conservation of astragalus species in rangelandshas a special place in terms of economic profit and soil conservation. the increase in priceof gum tragacanth in recent years and more attention of...

background surgery, as the main approach in higher stages of gynecomastia, has different techniques regarding the staging of the disease. the more the grade of gynecomastia, the more complicated the used surgical techniques, conventionally. this study assessed the success rate of the simplest surgical technique in higher grades of gynecology as well as the satisfaction rate in patients and surg...

OBJECTIVES Pulmonary artery sling (PA sling) is frequently associated with tracheal and/or bronchial stenosis. Most PA sling patients receive left pulmonary artery (LPA) re-implantation and tracheoplasty under the cardiopulmonary bypass, but the postoperative complications of tracheoplasty remain a great challenge. In this study, we reviewed 14 PA sling children who received surgery in our hosp...

OBJECTIVE Diaphragm pacing by phrenic nerve (PN) stimulation is currently used for patients with central respiratory paralysis to be weaned from mechanical ventilation. Electrodes are inserted either through bilateral thoracotomy or through four ports laparoscopy. The aim of this experimental work is to demonstrate the feasibility of trans-mediastinal bilateral implantation of PN electrodes usi...

Background: Primary tracheal tumors are very rare, surgical treatment is the first choice, and extent of resection anastomosis determined by location, shape size pathological result tumor. With rapid development minimally invasive techniques instruments in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, but surgery usually considered to be most challenging complex thoracic which requires not only extraor...

We studied prospectively the effects of the technique of tracheal extubation on arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) in 120 ASA I-III children, mean age 5.3 (range 0.25-16.9) yr. At completion of surgery, tracheal extubation was performed when spontaneous ventilation had resumed, children were fully awake and SpO2 was 99-100%. Children were allocated randomly to receive a single lung i...

Cancer complicates approximately 0.1% of all pregnancies. Primary tracheal carcinoma is one of very rarely seen tumors and the rate of its being seen makes up approximately % 0.2 of all tumors of respiratory tract. The patient, 28 years old, who has 28-weeks-pregnant, was diagnosed with primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma. Patient was made operation as thoracotomy and tracheal tumor was remo...

PURPOSE Tracheal restenosis due to excessive granulation tissue around a silicone stent requires repeated bronchoscopic interventions in patients with post-tuberculosis tracheal stenosis (PTTS). The current study was conducted to identify the risk factors for granulation tissue formation after silicone stenting in PTTS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted betwee...

The ability to instill live agents, cells, or chemicals directly into the lung without injuring or killing the mice is an important tool in lung cancer research. Although there are a number of methods that have been published showing how to intubate mice for pulmonary function measurements, none are without potential problems for rapid tracheal instillation in large cohorts of mice. In the pres...
