BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The loss of resistance to air to identify the epidural space is widely used. However, the accidental perforation of the dura mater is one of the possible complications of this procedure, with an estimated incidence between 1% and 2%. The objective of this report was to describe the case of a patient with intraventricular pneumocephalus after the accidental perforation ...

All-Solid-State Batteries In article number 2300172, Ju Young Kim, Yong Min Lee, and co-workers present a dry pre-lithiation strategy for the graphite/silicon-based diffusion-dependent electrodes (DDEs) by simply introducing Li metal powder in DDE. The added uniformly continuously provides ions to active materials mitigates volume change of DDE during charge/discharge cycles, leading high-perfo...

To evaluate genetic variation of wheat (Triticum aestivum) affected by heat and drought stress on eight Australian wheat genotypes that are parents of Doubled Haploid (HD) mapping populations at the vegetative stage, the water stress experiment was conducted at 65% field capacity in growth room. Heat stress experiment was conducted in the research field under irrigation over summer. Result show...

to evaluate the effects of wheat processing and dietary lipid sources on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics and fatty acids profile in meat of fattening calves, a number of 28 holstein male calves averaging in weight of 296±56kg were randomly allotted in four treatments (7 steers each). the study was conducted in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement (two methods of wheat processing: steam fl...

this study was carried out to examine the effects of kaolin spray for reducing the adverse effects of high radiation and temperature, especially on fruit sunburn in apple. treatments were four concentration of kaolin (0, 2, 4, and 6%) and two important and commercial apple cultivars in fars province; ‘golden delicious’ and ‘starking delicious’. trees physiological parameters, fruit sunburn and ...

the cultivar khavaran has come out of the national potato breeding program started in 2001 and continued for ten years in the seed and plant improvement institute karaj, iran. the breeding methodology has initiated by selection among germplasm consisting an open pollination of the clone 397097-13. the khavaran release included single plant selection, visual assessment, preliminary observation n...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and zeolit on the yield, yield componentsand relative leaf water content of sorghum, a field experiment was conducted in split plot in time andspace based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in research station of shahidbahonar university of kerman in 2011. irrigation regimes (100, 80, 60 and 40% of field ...

During the last seven decades many materials have been experimentally tried as dural substitutes, and many have been discarded after being clinically introduced. In recent years, satisfactory results from Orlan (Huertas, 1955), Vinyon 'N' (Teng and Feigin, 1955; Teng, 1961), and homologous dura mater (Crawford, 1957; Campbell, Bassett, and Robertson, 1958) as dural substitutes have been reporte...
