Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was introduced to the arsenal of surgical techniques in 1987 and has become the gold standard in treating cholecystolithiasis. In spite of undoubted benefi ts for patients, it is not a complication-free procedure. The type of complications after a classical , i.e. " open " surgery and LC do not differ in a significant way. The difference lies in their prevalenc...

introduction the umbilical cord anomalies directly effect on the life quality of the fetus. it can lead to fetal death or many problems during pregnancy and delivery. early detection of these abnormalities is of particular importance. case presentation we report a case of thin cord syndrome (tcs) in a 30-year-old pregnant woman with suprapubic pain. after termination of pregnancy, histopatholog...

OBJECTIVE To share four Canadian cities' experiences with bed bug infestations and to explore public health roles in managing them. METHODS We summarize presentations from a workshop at the 2010 Canadian Public Health Association Conference which examined the re-emergence of bed bugs in Canada and compared management approaches of municipal and public health authorities in four large Canadian...

Infrared oil spill detection utilizes either temperature or emissivity contrast of native and oil-covered water surfaces. In particular, the thickness dependent radiance contrast due to thin film interference has been studied. Together with detection boundaries derived from the radiative transfer equation, we can explain historically observed daytime contrast reversal and our observations durin...

The electrochemical analysis of tetracycline was investigated using nickel-implanted boron-doped diamond thin film electrode by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry with a flow injection system. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the electrochemical oxidation of tetracycline. Comparison experiments were carried out using as-deposited boron-doped diamond thin film electrode (BDD). Nickel-implant...

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process parameters can be changeable depending on the part geometry due to thermal conductivity differences. The number of studies parameter development for commercial pure titanium (Cp-Ti) with L-PBF is also quite limited in literature. aim this study present a comprehensive production Cp-Ti bulk and thin structures technology. In first phase, right parameters, ...
