Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy, which was first described by Tomas Kearn in 1958. Diagnostic symptoms of this condition include retinitis pigmentosa, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and one or more of the following factors: cardiac conduction system diseases, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with protein content above 100 mg/dL. The nature of thi...

radiological findings of 20 patients with scleroderma have been described. we had cornmon and uncommon roentgen signs of scleroderma similar to other series and one case with mid esophagus narrowing which we think have not been reported previously.

nethertons syndrome consists of the combination of ichthyosis, eczema, and abnormal hair and presents within the first 10 days of life with erythroderma. other reported features are short stature, mental retardation, and seizures. allergy to nuts and fish is also common amongst patients. mutations in the spink5 gene on 5q are reported in patients with nethertons syndrome. to the best of our kno...

crestal bone loss is a biological complication in implant dentistry. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of progressive and conventional loading on crestal bone height and bone density around single osseointegrated implants in the posterior maxilla by a longitudinal radiographic assessment technique.twenty micro thread implants were placed in 10 patients (two implants per patient). ...

The  study  aims  to  investigate  the  progressive  collapse  behaviour  of  RCC  building  under extreme  loading  events  such  as  gas  explosion  in  kitchen,  terroristic  attack,  vehicular collisions  and  accidental  overloads.  The  behavioural  changes  have  been  investigated  and node displacements  are computed when the building is subjected to sudden collapse of the  load beari...

Radiosity is a powerful method for solving the global illumination problem in the case of purely diffuse light reflexions. The progressive refinement algorithm provides interactivity during computation by displaying intermediate images, and overshooting methods increases the convergence rate of progressive radiosity. However, computation times remain very important. Parallelising these algorith...

The aim of the study was to evaluate risk factors for long-term mortality and progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) after cardiac surgery in patients with normal preoperative renal function and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). From April 2009 to December 2012, we prospectively enrolled 3245 cardiac surgery patients of our hospital. The primary endpoints included survival rates and th...
