In this article objective have been made to reviews different geostatistical methods available to estimate and simulate petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability) of the reservoir. Different geostatistical techniques that allow the combination of hard and soft data are taken into account and one refers the main reason to use the geostatistical simulation rather than estimation. Uncert...

objectives the present study aimed to compare the efficacy rate of avfs using two different anastomosis methods; side to side (sts) versus end to side (ets) and to determine whether the different approaches render any preferences or complications. background in candidate patients for permanent hemodialysis or dialysis on a regular basis, an appropriate vascular access has great importance. the ...

The internal mammary artery is the conduit of choice for cardiac revascularization. Atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries may simultaneously involve the subclavian artery. Proximal stenosis in the left subclavian artery may result in recurrent myocardial ischemia in patients with a patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA), due to coronary steal syndrome through the LIMA.

The blood clam Barbatia lima subsp. from Amami-Oshima, Japan, expresses three types of haemoglobins in erythrocytes: a tetramer (alpha 2 beta 2), a homodimer (delta 2) and a polymer consisting of two kinds of chains, a 34 kDa two-domain (2D) globin and a delta chain. This is in sharp contrast to the congeneric clams B. reeveana (a North American species) and B. lima from Kochi, Japan, each cont...
