AIM Aspiration of the abscess cavity versus excision of capsule are still in debate for the capsulated, large, superficially located abscesses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty patients who had large, solitary, capsulated, and superficially located lobar abscesses were analyzed retrospectively to compare the efficiency of two different surgical approaches and their impact on postoperative antibiot...

BACKGROUND Some medical equipment manufacturers and surgeons have asserted that certain types of cannulas and other components of liposuction systems enhance the efficiency of fat aspiration. OBJECTIVE A laboratory experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of each component of a standard liposuction system on the rate of fat aspiration. A clinical investigation of the effectiveness of a ...

OBJECTIVE To determine associations between objective assessments (swallowing function and weight change) and subjective quality-of-life (QOL) measures. DESIGN Observational case series using clinical testing and questionnaires. SETTING University hospital-based tertiary clinical practice. PATIENTS Convenience sample of 5-year survivors of head and neck cancer (62 nonlaryngectomy survivor...

BACKGROUND Good cytological sample is very important for the cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of prepared samples by the combination of aspiration and non- aspiration fine needle biopsy. METHODS In this descriptive - analytical study, sampling was done simultaneously for each patient in fine needle aspiration and non-aspiration biops...

Transbronchial lung biopsy with forceps is a standard procedure in bronchoscopic tissue sampling. Suction catheter aspiration is another technique, but it is not widely known and almost no data exist regarding its diagnostic efficiency. 272 patients were included in a prospective and randomised study between February 2007 and October 2009. All were referred for bronchoscopic evaluation of pulmo...

The present study was undertaken to assess the relative efficiency of three different collection techniques of ovarian biometrics and oocytes grading percent of oocytes in local goats of Andhra Pradesh The mean oocyte recovery from right and left ovary was 1.9 ± 0.28 and 0.8 ± 0.18 in aspiration technique, 2.15 ± 0.31 and 2.9 ± 0.46 in dissection technique and 6.55 ± 0.57 and 4.51 ± 0.46 in sli...

Effective localization of dust sources is possible through the use a dust-removing ventilation complex, which includes aspiration, general and secondary control. Aspiration systems ensure removal dusty air with its subsequent purification utilization trapped dust. The creation vacuum in shelters technological equipment helps to prevent from being knocked out into working area.

Hybridization efficiency of two crossing methods (involving emasculation by hot water or by anther aspiration), was determined in rice. Quantitative comparisons between crossing methods for pure line breeding are scarce and the objectives of this work were to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of emasculation methods, and to determine an adequate temperature for hot water emasculation. H...

Holstein cow ovaries obtained at a slaughterhouse were used to study the influence of the oocyte collection methods (slicing, puncture, aspiration I and II) on recovery efficiency and subsequent in vitro maturation and embryonic development competence of immature oocytes recovered. In the slicing method, the whole ovarian was chopped into small pieces with a surgical blade. In the puncture meth...
