peripherally inserted venous ports fracture with embolization in patients who received chemotherapy is a serious and rare complication,and few cases have been reported in children. we report a successful endovascular technique using a snare for retrieving broken peripherally inserted venous ports in a child for chemotherapy. catheter fragments may cause complications such as cardiac perforation...

Sets of attribute implications may have a certain degree of redundancy and the notion of basis appears as a way to characterize the implication set with less redundancy. The most widely accepted is the Duquenne-Guigues basis, strongly based on the notion of pseudo-intents. In this work we propose the minimal generators as an element to remove redundancy in the basis. The main problem is to enum...

This paper deals with the problem of looking for the set of defuzzification method features allowing us to generate the most accurate fuzzy models in combination with each fuzzy implication operator. Hence, we try to find fuzzy inference engines that are appropriate from the practical engineering point of view. To do so, the three basic properties for fuzzy implication operators presented in [C...

BACKGROUND Allergic reactions to antibiotics are common in daily clinical allergy practice. Oral drug provocation tests (ODPT) are used to determine safe alternative antibiotics in addition to diagnostic purposes. In one of our previous studies, we have shown that triple test was a safe, time-saving and cost-effective method for determining safe alternatives for patients with non-steroidal anti...

Dispersion problem has always constrained the development of see-through near-eye displays with diffractive waveguide. Here, we propose a design method and optical systems for achromatic surface microstructure composed with a triple-carved-sub-grating. The triple-carved-sub-grating with specified period is designed based on rigorous coupled wave theory, corresponding to Red, Green and Blue (RGB...

Through the triple–alpha process practically all of the carbon in our universe is synthesized as the ash of helium burning in red giants. The triple–alpha process proceeds trough the ground state of Be and though the 02+–state in C. We investigate the dependence of 02+–state and the production of carbon as a function of the strength of the underlying nucleon–nucleon interaction. This is perform...
