inguinal bladder hernia is a rare clinical condition, with 1–3% of all inguinal hernias involving the bladder. any portion of the bladder may herniate, from a small portion or a diverticulum to most of the bladder. we present a 55-year-old male with an intermittent right scrotal mass of 6 months’ duration. the mass lesion protruded through the right inguinal canal before voiding and reduced aft...

CONTEXT Limited data are available to assess whether endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) improves short-term outcomes compared with traditional open repair. OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative outcomes up to 2 years after endovascular or open repair of AAA in a planned interim report of a 9-year trial. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS A randomized, multicenter clinical trial ...

Thermal radiosensitization was studied in two human I-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (JM and MOLT3) with regard to heatirradiation sequence and heating duration. In MOLT3 thermal radiosensitization was maximal when 43.5°C hyperthermia immediately preceded or followed irradiation; at 41.S°C, radiosensitization was maximal with hyperthermia immediately before or up to 3 h after ir...

traumatic peripheral nerve injuries are among most important cause of physical disability among young adults. most partial injuries and some complete injuries recover without operative intervention, with early return of function appearing to be the most significant prognostic factor in these cases. return of function over time depends to a great extent on the underlying neuropathologic conditio...

Abstract The service life prediction of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in marine environment is essential structural repair and health monitoring. In this paper, a numerical model for predicting the first developed which considering time-varying boundary chloride concentration, critical concentration density corrosion current. Based on model, effects water–cement ratio, reinforcement diame...

BACKGROUND Dexamethasone added to local anesthetic for brachial plexus block improves postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, as compared with the use of local anesthetic alone. Dexamethasone is present in non-particulate form in local anesthetic solution, while betamethasone is partially present in particulate form. The particulate betamethasone gradually decays and is expec...

Thermal radiosensitization was studied in two human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (JM and MOLT3) with regard to heat-irradiation sequence and heating duration. In MOLT3 thermal radiosensitization was maximal when 43.5 degrees C hyperthermia immediately preceded or followed irradiation; at 41.5 degrees C, radiosensitization was maximal with hyperthermia immediately before or up ...

Objective: To ruleout whether there was a difference in, recurrence rate, morbidity, and duration of hospital stay between patients undergoing open or laparoscopic ventral hernia surgery. Materials and methods: Cohort study in single-institution was compared prospectively collected from patient cohorts undergoing laparoscopic or open intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair. Literature search was perf...

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the procedure-related morbidity and mortality of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, to investigate the changes in perioperative laboratory values, and to clarify the specific independent predictive factors for mortality and morbidity. We retrospectively evaluated patients who were treated in Jichi Medical University Hospital. Methods: Conse...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to highlight anesthetic and perioperative management and the outcomes of infants with complete atrioventricular (AV) canal defects. DESIGN This retrospective descriptive study included children who underwent staged and primary biventricular repair for complete AV canal defects from 1999 to 2013. SETTING A single-center study at a university affiliat...
