Repair of aortico--left ventricular tunnel was accomplished for the first time in the neonatal period. The diagnosis was made with two-dimensional echocardiography. Repair was accomplished using an open-patch aortoplasty technique, which prevented valvular insufficiency, a significant problem in older patients in whom the repair has been attempted.

contraceptive patches have become a frequently used contraceptive method. we present a mathematical model that describes the serum concentration profiles of norelgestromin (ngmn) and ethinylestradiol (ee) released from the contraceptive patch ortho evra®. we propose a simple one-compartment model based on pharmacokinetics data reported in previous studies. the model assumes a time-dependent rel...

Background Evidence is accumulating that, similar to other ventral hernias, umbilical and epigastric hernias must be mesh repaired. The difficulties involved in mesh placement and in meshrelated complications could be the reason many small abdominal hernias are still primary closed. In laparoscopic repair, a mesh is placed intraperitoneally, while the most common procedure is open surgery with ...

Background: Various environmental factors can induce or exaggerate hand eczema. Objective: Evaluation of patch test results in hand eczema patients. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive study 100 patients with hand eczema referred to Loghman Hakim and Booali Hospital in Tehran underwent patch testing with 23 allergens obtained from Hermal company. Results: 240 positive reactions observed i...

Single channel currents in internodes of demyelinated Xenopus axons were measured with the gigaseal patch-clamp technique. Demyelination induced by injected lysolecithin allows the entire internodal axolemma to be accessible to a patch electrode. Four classes of K+ channels in this region were characterized. A Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel [K(Ca)] with a single channel conductance of 235 pS was f...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe the mini-open suture bridge technique with porcine dermal patch augmentation for massive rotator cuff tear and to assess preliminary clinical and radiological results. METHODS Five patients with massive rotator cuff tear for which it was not possible to restore the anatomical footprint underwent mini-open suture bridge repair using a porcine de...

Budding is a good method of propagation in the Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.)., However, success of budding is low due to higher root pressure as well as the presence of phenolic compounds in the xylem sap. This study was conducted to compare various budding methods and cut below budding union on two and three-year-old Persian walnut under field conditions. The experiment was conducted based...

We investigated how Patch Tuesday affects the volume and characteristics of malicious and unwanted traffic as observed by a large IPv4 (/8) darkspace monitor over the first six months of 2012. We did not discover significant changes in overall traffic volume following Patch Tuesday, but we found a significant increase of the number of active hosts sending to our darkspace monitor the day after ...

a-10-year-old girl was referred to our department for multiple hyperpigmented plaques. one  week  previously,  she  had  been  given  one  suppository  of  acetylsalicylic acid  – phenobarbital for fever. twelve hours after the drug intake the child developed pruritic red plaques on the left thigh. six weeks after resolution of the acute reaction, patch tests were performed separately, with phe...
