In 60 mothers with normal placental function, the relative merits of right and left lateral tilt during Caesarean section were assessed. Maternal-foetal biochemical values and relationships were generally more satisfactory with the left lateral position. The incidence of hypotension (revealed aorto-caval occlusion) before and after induction of anaesthesia, was significantly greater (P less tha...

The non-commutative analytic Toeplitz algebra is the wot–closed algebra generated by the left regular representation of the free semigroup on n generators. We obtain a distance formula to an arbitrary wotclosed right ideal and thereby show that the quotient is completely isometrically isomorphic to the compression of the algebra to the orthogonal complement of the range of the ideal. This is us...

Background: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities associated with liver cirrhosis may result in intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to use contrast enhanced echocardiography to detect intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis candidates for liver transplantation. Methods: One hundred and two adult patients underwent contrast e...

In this paper, we use the left(right) stabilizers of a BCKalgebra (X, &lowast, 0) and produce two basis for two different topologies. Then we show that the generated topological spaces by these basis are Bair, connected, locally connected and separable. Also we study the other properties of these topological spaces.

Introduction: Topographic anatomy of the tendons and ligaments in healthy cases provides a normal atlas to diagnose abnormalities. The aim of this study was to provide ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the Anatoly donkey. Methods: The metacarpal regions of 6 healthy Anatoly donkeys were prepared for ultrasonography and divided to 6 levels (1a, 1b...

The response delay to left target stimuli preceded by right-side cues, first described by Posner et al. [J. Neurosci. 4 (1984) 1863-1874] appears to be a stable marker of right-parietal injury. However, only few studies compared patients' performance to age-matched controls. Furthermore, only few studies compared visual and auditory stimuli in this task. Therefore, two groups of right-hemispher...

Previous fMRI studies suggest that faces are represented holistically in human face processing regions. On the other hand, behavioral studies have also shown that some facial features are more salient than others for face recognition: the neural basis of this feature-salience hierarchy is not known. We used fMRI-adaptation together with a behavioral discrimination task and an ideal observer ana...
