BACKGROUND Testicular calculus is an extremely rare case with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. To our knowledge, here we report the third case of testicular calculus. A 31-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with painful solid mass in left testis. After diagnostic work-up for a possible testicular tumour, he underwent inguinal orchiectomy and histopathologic examination showed a testicula...

in  cite{gl}, b. gerla and i. leuc{s}tean introduced the notion of similarity on mv-algebra. a similarity mv-algebra is an mv-algebra endowed with a binary operation $s$ that verifies certain additional properties. also, chirtec{s} in cite{c}, study the notion of similarity on l ukasiewicz-moisil algebras. in particular, strong similarity l ukasiewicz-moisil algebras were defined. in this paper...

double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number...

Bi-intuitionistic logic is the conservative extension of intuitionistic logic with a connective dual to implication. It is sometimes presented as a symmetric constructive subsystem of classical logic. In this paper, we compare three sequent calculi for bi-intuitionistic propositional logic: (1) a basic standard-style sequent calculus that restricts the premises of implication-right and exclusio...

In this article, we propose the definition of one parameter matrix Mittag-Leffler functions of fractional nabla calculus and present three different algorithms to construct them. Examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of suggested algorithms.

Bladder calculus following vesical foreign bodies is uncommon. The usual presentation is presence of lower urinary symptoms. Most of these foreign bodies are either left inadvertently after open bladder operations or migrate from adjacent structures. This is a case report of an unusual self inserted foreign body in a female presenting with bladder calculus and diverticulum. Self inserted foreig...

The effect of xamoterol, a beta1 adrenoceptor partial agonist, on resting haemodynamic measurements and exercise tolerance was studied in 10 patients with dyspnoea of effort. All patients had poor left ventricular function due to myocardial infarction with ejection fractions ranging from 15% to 35% (mean 28%). The cardiac index and stroke work index both rose significantly. The mean pulmonary a...

Late complications of head and neck cancer survivors include neck muscle atrophy and soft-tissue fibrosis. We present an autopsy case of neck muscle atrophy and soft-tissue fibrosis (sternocleidomastoid, omohyoid, digastric, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and platysma muscles) within the radiation field after modified radical neck dissection type I and postoperative radiotherapy for floor of mouth...

The relation between quantitative ultrastructural changes of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium and contractile function was studied in patients with chronic aortic stenosis (AS). The volume fractions of myofibrils, sarcoplasm and mitochondria in myocardial cells were determined by electron microscopic morphometry in small LV tissue samples of 19 patients with AS. Interstitial fibrosis was me...
