The cost of definitive therapy was compared in 25 patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways in 1990 and 25 patients who underwent surgical ablation of accessory pathways in 1989. In the radiofrequency group, 23 of 25 patients had a single accessory pathway and the remaining 2 patients each had 2 accessory pathways. In the surgical group, 20 patients had a sin...

Introduction Accessory renal arteries play a significant role in kidney and abdominal aorta surgery, and renovascular hypertension. In the published literature, the frequency varies considerably, depending on the size of the sample, the method of examination and the ethnic group. Materials and Methods The aim of this study is to determine the general frequency of accessory renal arteries, the...

accessory thing is a thing that stands in a dependency relationship with the principal thing. an accessory thing ordinarily serves the economic or other purposes of the principal thing and shares its legal fate in case of transfer or encumbrance. there are some questions? different opinions about the meaning of it and the is it a contractual subject or not? and may it be determined by implicit ...

What determines male mating rate? New research is highlighting the potential importance of variation in reproductive organ size in determining the limits of male mating frequency and reproductive success. The accessory glands provide the material required to synthesise the spermatophore in which the sperm, produced by the testes, are packaged. Male mating rate is both phenotypically and genetic...

A case of synchronous carcinoma of the accessory mammary gland and primary breast lymphoma with subsequent rectal carcinoma has not been reported previously. We present a very rare case of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the left breast diagnosed simultaneously with invasive lobular carcinoma of the left axillary accessory mammary gland and rectal adenocarcinoma. An 82-year-old Japanese woman p...

Evidence of an atriofascicular accessory pathway has not been reported previously. In the patient presented in this case report, an electrophysiology study demonstrated a constant left bundle branch block QRS configuration despite varying degrees of ventricular preexcitation, in association with a constant artrioventricular interval during incremental atrial pacing and programmed atrial stimula...

We herein describe a case of accessory parotid gland tumor, including diagnosis and surgical approach. The accessory parotid gland is salivary tissue separated from the main parotid gland and lying on masseter muscle. It has secondary duct empting into the Stensen's duct. The accessory parotid gland exists in 21-61 % of individuals. However, the appearance of an accessory parotid tumor is rare,...

The color red has special meaning in mating-relevant contexts. Wearing red can enhance perceptions of women's attractiveness and desirability as a potential romantic partner. Building on recent findings, the present study examined whether women's (N = 74) choice to display the color red is influenced by the attractiveness of an expected opposite-sex interaction partner. Results indicated that f...

varicocele is one of the most common causes of primary male infertility. pilea microphylla (pm) is being used as folk medicine. this study was aimed to investigate the effects of pm in a rat model of varicocele. a total of 30 male wistar rats were divided into control, sham, varicocele, accessory varicocele and pm-treated groups. after 10 weeks of varicocele induction, sperm parameters and chro...

The functional role of cell surface Ia antigens has been studied for in vitro antibody responses, using as a probe the ability of anti-Ia reagents to inhibit these responses. A hybridoma monoclonal anti-Ia reagent specific for a product of I-Ak (Ia.17) profoundly inhibited in vitro antibody responses to TNP-KLH by spleen cells of the I-Ak but not I-Ab haplotype. This inhibition by anti-I-Ak pro...
