BACKGROUND In both in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), selection of the most competent embryo(s) for transfer is generally based on morphological criteria. However, many women fail to achieve a pregnancy after transfer of good quality embryos. One of the presumed causes is that such morphologically normal embryos show an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneu...

A retrospective review of the American Association for Surgery Trauma PROspective Observational Vascular Injury Treatment (AAST-PROOVIT) registry from November 2013 to January 2019. Of 460 patients 19 institutions, 402 were treated with autologous vein grafts (AVGs) and 58 prosthetic interposition (PGs) (45 polytetrafluorethylene grafts, 5 Dacron, 8 other). The PG group was more severely injure...

Compared to general population, pathological gamblers are 3.4 times more likely to attempt suicide. Our objective was to identify specific profiles of problem gamblers (PGs) with suicidal risk according to sociodemographic, clinical and gambling characteristics. The PGs cohort, called "EVALJEU" , consists in the inclusion of any new PG seeking treatment in our Department. Patients underwent a s...

We synthesized and evaluated biodegradable and elastomeric polyesters (poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS)) using polycondensation between glycerol and sebacic acid to form a cross-linked network structure without using exogenous catalysts. Synthesized materials possess good mechanical properties, elasticity, and surface erosion biodegradation behavior. The tensile strength of the PGS was as high as ...

Materials and methods Observational retrospective study. We enrolled 76 patients (65 females and 11 males) present in our database since 2003, with diagnosis of JIS. Mean age at first diagnosis was 6.37± 1.4. We considered as main indirect clinical sign of PGS the quick height growth (more than 5 cm in six months) while Risser test 1, menarche and sharp growth slowing down (2 cm in six months) ...

Remodeling of large and small arteries contributes to the development and complications of hypertension. Artery structural changes in chronic sustained hypertension include vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) modifications. Extracellular constituents such as proteoglycans (PGs), may modulate vascular stiffness and VSMC growth and differentiation. We ...

<p class="abstract">Type I posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) is a rare and challenging entity that defined by the presence of scar band separate from interarytenoid mucosa. This case reports child who developed PGS-I secondary to prolonged intubation submitted an endoscopic approach. 11-year-old boy presented with 4 years complaint stridor triggered physical efforts sleep. He had history m...

Liquid crystal (LC) circular polarization gratings (PGs), also known as Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) phase deflectors, are diffractive waveplates with linearly changed optical anisotropy axes. Due to the high diffraction efficiency, selectivity character, and simple fabrication process, photoalignment LC PGs have been widely studied developed especially in management beam split. In this review paper...
