Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...

Introduction: Gastric drainage disorder is one of the complications of gastric pull-up and esophagectomy after surgery which might lead to esophageal cancer and benign strictures. The aim of this study was to determine the role of pyloromyotomy on gastric drainage. Materials and Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial study, we studied 51 patients in two matched groups...

introduction: the effect of esophageal distension (ed) on gastric motility has been well documented, but a few investigations have been carried out on the effect of ed on gastric secretion. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ed on gastric acid and pepsin secretion and the mechanism(s) involved. methods: male adult wistar rats (200-240 g) were anesthetized with urethane (1.2 ...

Gastric cancer is one of the leading types with an annual death toll 700,000 worldwide. Despite fact that several agents are approved for its treatment, high percentage recurrence and intractability metastatic disease remain a major problem. The identification new targets modalities treatment therefore priority. We have searched literature microRNAs down-regulated in gastric efficacy cancer-rel...

there are occasional reports of using the appendix to replace sections of the ureters, and to our knowledge, only a couple of them were in the left side. we used the appendix as a ureteral substitute in two cases in technically difficult parts, the upper left ureter and the first part of the right ureter. follow-ups of8 years and 6 months in right and left side cases, respectively, are impressi...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Formation of gastric ulcer is a multifactorial process so that vascular changes, mucous secretion, gastric acid and gastrointestinal tract mucous biochemistry are involved in gastric ulcers. Despite therapeutic properties, ibuprofen as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) can cause mucosal lesions in the stomach. In this study, the effect of Matri...

INTRODUCTION A dislodged gastrostomy tube (GT) is a common complaint that requires evaluation in the pediatric emergency department (ED) and, on occasion, will require stoma dilation to successfully replace the GT. The objective of this study was to describe the frequency that stoma dilation is required, the success rate of replacement, complications encountered, and the techniques used to conf...

Thiamine deficiency may cause Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) characterized by ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and confusion. Aside from the triad of cardinal symptoms, selective or predominant impairments bilateral horizontal canals be observed in WE. Here, we report a patient with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-lymphoma complicated an early stage WE due to thiamine manifesting vestibu...

Objective(s): Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α) has been shown to modulate the gastric acid secretion. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) on TGF-α expression in gastric mucosa in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighteen rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (6 per group). To determine the effect of NaHS on gene and protein ...
