Opitz syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which has been well defined; however, the surgical treatment of the anomalies has not been codified. The objective is to review the literature and describe the surgical priorities in the treatment of Opitz syndrome. This report is unique in the fact that it describes a surgical approach to the treatment of the deformities. Better outcomes are achieved w...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1) loaded films on oral wound healing. Two types G-Rb1 films, carboxymethyl cellulose (GCMC) film and hyaluronic acid (GHA) film, were developed. A total 36 Sprague-Dawley rats divided into 3 groups: control, GCMC, GHA. After formation midpalate, control group was left without treatment, whereas experimental groups had attache...

introduction : constipation is one of the most prevalent causes of abdominal pain in pediatrics, with no underlying pathology. it is defined as functional constipation in 95% of cases evaluated. this study was designed to compare the therapeutic effect of polyethylene glycol (peg) and lactulose in treating chronic functional constipation in children. materials and methods: in this randomized, d...

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), a result of rapid cell lysis following tumor therapy, is a well recognized complication during the treatment of rapidly growing tumors. TLS rarely occurs in solid tumors. We present a case report of TLS in a patient with primary retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma. TLS occurred in the patient after four days' combinational chemotherapy with cisplatin, adriamycin, and...

We systematically analyse all publicly available XMM-Newton spectra of radioquiet PG quasars. The soft X-ray excess in these objects is well modelled by an additional, cool, Compton scattering region. However, the remarkably constant temperature derived for this component over the whole sample requires a puzzling fine tuning of the parameters. Instead, we propose that the soft excess is an arti...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor William H. Robinson for providing me an opportunity to work under him. I am deeply indebted to him, for his constant encouragement and able guidance which has helped me to achieve my career objectives. Working under him has been a great learning experience. His insights and wisdom has not only helped me enrich my knowled...

Cancer, Heart disease, arthritis are the most common diseases found in the majority of the populations in recent years. Medical diagnosis is enormously essential but complex task that should be accomplished exactly and proficiently. Although momentous progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, further investigation is still desired. These disease diagnosis are a ch...

Discontinuous transmission based on speech/pause detection represents a valid solution to improve the spectral efficiency of new-generation wireless communication systems. In this context, robust Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithms are required, as traditional solutions present a high misclassification rate in the presence of the background noise typical of mobile environments. This paper...
