background: evidence is accumulating that venous thromboembolism is not limited to coagulation system and immune system seems to be involved in formation and resolution of thrombus. some studies have demonstrated the role of inflammatory factors in deep venous thrombosis (dvt) of limbs; however, there has not been such study in the patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cvst). the purp...

background: central venous (cv) catheters play an essential role in the management of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (icu). cv lines are, however, allied to catheter-associated blood stream infections. bacterial colonization of cv lines is deemed the main cause of catheter-associated infection. the purpose of our study was to compare bacterial colony counts in the catheter s...

conclusions: thus, identifying the hf patients before the flight and providing them proper education about the events that may occur during flight is necessary. results: hf patients are more prone to experience respiratory distress, anxiety, stress, cardiac decompensation, and venous thromboembolism (vte) during air travel. although stable hf patients can tolerate air travel, but those with acu...

results the mean age was 45.6 ± 13.1 (24 to 74 ) years. twenty-two were normal responders [considered as non-organic causes (37.3% of all patients)], 27 were classified as venous leakage, eight had arterial insufficiency and two were mixed type. maximum psv occurred before the fifth minute in 47 patients (92.2%). eight patients completed all phases of erection in the first 5 minutes. we defined...

Bone mineral density reflects an athlete’s cumulative history of energy availability, physical activity, and menstrual status, as well as nutritional and environmental factors. Although sports with high-impact loading are associated with higher bone mineral density than low-impact or non-impact sports, confounding variables are differences in the athletes’ body size and sport-specific training....

conclusions if seizure occurs during the peripartum period, along with providing complete cardiovascular and respiratory support, advanced diagnostic measures are needed and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should be considered as a possible diagnosis. introduction seizure involves less than 1% of pregnancies; however it is associated with increased maternal and fetal complications. cerebral ve...

Whereas entire houses are reported to be built by means of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), automated integration reinforcement is still a vastly unresolved challenge and - undoubtfully crucial requirement for widespread adoption 3DCP in construction practice. The disruptive technology opens up the chance overcome insufficiencies conventional steel its rationalised orthogonal use. This paper disclo...
