Dysphagia aortica is a rare etiology of dysphagia resulting from extrinsic compression of esophagus by thoracic aortic aneurysm or tortuosity and elongation of thoracic aorta. The clinical findings resemble those of esophageal malignancy or esophageal motility disorders. Therefore, primary diagnosis of dysphagia aortica is very difficult. We, herein, report a case of dysphagia aortica aggravate...

Aflatoxins (AF) and fumonisins (FU) are a major problem faced by poultry farmers, leading to huge economic losses. This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of AF (1 mg/kg of feed) and FU (25 mg/kg of feed), singly or in combination, on the lipid metabolism in commercial layers and investigate the efficacy of a commercial binder (2 kg/t of feed) on reducing the toxic effects of the...

experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. it was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to another....

INTRODUCTION Evidence for the effect of post-operative abdominal binders on post-operative pain, seroma formation, physical function, pulmonary function and increased intra-abdominal pressure among patients after surgery remains largely un-investigated. METHODS A systematic review was conducted. The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched for studies on the use of abdominal binder...

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a significant medical problem; it occurs in ≈6% of healthy elderly in the community, 18% to 54% of nursing home residents and ≤60% in hospitalized elderly. The incidence of OH increases exponentially after the age of 65 years, and its importance is likely to increase as our population ages. OH is not only a cause of disability and impaired quality of life but it ...

Background: In order to augment the postoperative recovery process in patients undergoing laparotomy, various methods have been evaluated past. One such strategy is use of abdominal binder. Objective: We compared efficacy binder emergency laparotomy by objective comparison 6-minute walk test and pain on visual analogue scale. Place study: Departments Surgery both Benazir Bhutto Hospital Distric...

BACKGROUND Desmoid-type fibromatosis is characterized by desmoid tumors, which are benign soft tissue tumors that can be locally aggressive but typically do not metastasize. Desmoid tumors can manifest anywhere in the body, and those in the abdominal cavity account for approximately 30 to 50% of all such tumors. Complete resection with free margins has been the standard treatment, but non-surgi...

Background: Colonoscopy is a well-established endoscopic procedure widely used for screening, diagnosis, and treatment. the examination of large bowel distal part small bowel, using some techniques that allow more frequent cecal intubation, quicker time to cecum, or less pain. One obstacle must be overcome during this looping colonoscope shaft. Objective: The aim work evaluate use simple elasti...

Lanthanum carbonate (LC) is used as a phosphate binder in dialysed patients. Abdominal pain and constipation are known side effects of its use. Furthermore, in radiological studies, LC tablets are seen as intense radio-opaque deposits within the entire gastrointestinal tract-findings which can lead to diagnostic misinterpretations. An elderly patient on peritoneal dialysis and taking LC present...

Binder drainage test is widely used to set an upper limit to the design binder content of porous asphalt. However, the presence of high amount of fine particles in the drained binder may affect the accuracy of the test result. This paper presents a study to characterize the composition and particle size distribution of fine particles accumulated in the drained binder. Fine aggregates and filler...
