An ultrastructurai and immunohistochemical comparison was made between the effects of Dispase II and EDTA on the basement membrane zone of corneal epithelium. The comparison was made on intact corneas as well as on freed epithelial sheets and remnant stromas that had been separated using either the enzyme or chelator. At the ultrastructurai level, incubation with Dispase II disrupted the lamina...

Objective: The current study aimed to determine the efficacy of radioiodine-131 (131I) ablation therapy with thyroid hormone replacement one day before 131I administration in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Methods: This retrospective study included 29 patients who underwent 131I therapies twice for DTC during 6-12 months.  Since all the patients obviously had residual l...

OBJECTIVE To report outcomes of laparoscopic management of patients with ovarian remnant (OR). DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Referral practice and tertiary medical center. PATIENT(S) Sixty-four patients with confirmed OR who underwent laparoscopic treatment between July 1989 and September 2003. INTERVENTION(S) Laparoscopic excision of OR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Technical...

We analyze patterns of remnant discrete symmetries that arise from U(1)N theories by spontaneous breaking. We describe a simple, geometrical way to understand these patterns and provide methods for identifying the discrete symmetries and bringing them to the simplest possible form. Applications in GUT and string model building are briefly discussed. Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]...

one of most challenging problems in neuroradiology is differentiation lesions in brain and another challenging problems is post op. or post radiation/post chemotherapy changes vs recurrence /remnant. on this lecture i am going to show you many cases that on the basis of new technique such as swi, pwi, mrs, cine mri, dti and tractography we can achieve the final diagnosis.

We present numerical simulations of off-center collisions between galaxy clusters made using a new hydrodynamical code based on the piecewise-parabolic method (PPM) and an isolated multigrid potential solver. The current simulations follow only the intracluster gas. We have performed three high-resolution (256× 128) simulations of collisions between equal-mass clusters using a nonuniform grid w...

Biliary pain after cholecystectomy, known as post-cholecystectomy syndrome, is common and has a broad differential diagnosis. Here we present a case of biliary pancreatitis and intermittent biliary pain that was caused by a remnant gallbladder that contained calculi. A 45-year-old man presented for evaluation of abdominal pain. He had undergone cholecystectomy 2 years previously and described i...
