purpose: to evaluate the success rate of strabismus surgery with both adjustable and non-adjustable suture technique, moreover,also compared the success rate of these methods regardless of cause, type and amount of deviation is aand history of previous surgery. methods: in this study 296 patients were included (fromduring 2003 to 2011). patients divided in two groups; strabismus surgery with ad...

Horizontal cleavage and horizontal oblique meniscal tears have traditionally been treated with partial meniscectomy. Recent research has shown the deleterious long-term effects of meniscectomy in these patients regarding the development of osteoarthritis. Meniscal preservation is thus the preferred method of surgical treatment in patients with these tears. However, traditional repair techniques...

deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the iranian-arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly sanandaj-sirjan belt or zone) is the main concern of this paper. here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of eghlid-deh bid area as affected by the position of zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. the modeled area is located between the zagros thrust...

Fig. 2. Fixing of valved conduit to left ventricular outflow tract with peri-cardial strip. blood and blood products transfusion, which has its own implications and complications. Sometimes it leads to alarming postoperative drainage mandating re-exploration. Many modifications have been suggested to prevent this complication. Bentall and De Bono wrapped the graft with native aneurysm wall, but...

OBJECTIVE To assess the scientific evidence that rapid maxillary expansion (RME) causes Adverse Effects on the midpalatal suture, vertical dimension, dental and periodontal structures in growing subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases were searched for articles dated through December 2011. The quality of the studies was ranked on a 13-point scale in which 1 was the low end of the...

Objective To examine the proposition that a used infant mattress is associated with an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Design Case-control study. Setting Scotland (population 5.1 million, with about 53 000 births a year). Participants 131 infants who died of sudden infant death syndrome between 1 January 1996 and 31 May 2000 and 278 age, season, and obstetric unit matched contro...

Objective- introduce and evaluate modified surgical technique in repair of third grade perinea lacerations in mares. Design- descriptive study. Animals- ten mares. Procedures- The tissue between rectal and vagina mucosa was incised in the way that the lower rectal mucosa was entirely separated from upper vaginal mucosa and a flap was consequently induced in both sides. The septum between rectum...

RATIONALE The lack of measurable single-cell contractility of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (hiPSC-CMs) currently limits the utility of hiPSC-CMs for evaluating contractile performance for both basic research and drug discovery. OBJECTIVE To develop a culture method that rapidly generates contracting single hiPSC-CMs and allows quantification of cell shortening ...

Maldistribution of light is a potential cause of phototherapy failure in the neonate. Differences in light intensity over the surface can be measured with a radiometer as this detects the radiant energy impinging on the incubator mattress. An infant nursed on the front third of the mattress receives less than 40% of the maximal light incident on the centre of the mattress, and consequently degr...
