Large bone defect treatment represents a great challenge due to the difficulty of functional and esthetic reconstruction. Tissue-engineered bone grafts created by in vitro manipulation of bioscaffolds, seed cells, and growth factors have been considered potential treatments for bone defect reconstruction. However, a significant gap remains between experimental successes and clinical translation...

patients and methods previously recorded data of 231 patients who underwent surgical closure of vsd between january 2009 and january 2012 at the rajaie cardiovascular medical and research center were retrospectively reviewed. vsd surgical repair was performed using continues suturing technique in group a patients (n = 163, 70.6%) and interrupted suturing technique in group b patients (n = 68, 2...

allows us to do a " 10x " on Root Cause Analysis (RCA). It is a 10x in terms of the time it takes to perform root cause analysis and a 10x in terms of the coverage on the defect stream. These productivity enhancements are achieved by raising the level of abstraction and systematizing the analysis methodology. The impact of this productivity boost is far-reaching in its business impact with repo...

background: congenital heart disease (chd) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. this study was performed to determine the live birth incidence of chd by ethnicity and sex in gorgan, northern iran. methods: in this longitudinal, hospital-based study, 18162 live births in dezyani hospital in gorgan, north of iran, were screened for chd, from 2007 through 2009. clinical examination, ...

background: closure of patent ductus arteriosus (pda), ventricular septal defect (vsd) and atrial septal defect (asd) can be done surgically or by device. this study was designed to compare the total cost of surgical or device closures of pda, asd or vsd for iranian patients. methods: this is a cross-sectional study, conducted from january 1, 2005 until january 1, 2006 in two large heart center...

this is a case presentation of a 26-year-old woman with a moderate-sized atrial septal secundum defect (17mm) who underwent catheterism, during which an amplatzer septal occluder number 26 was inserted successfully. on the second postoperative day, she deteriorated and a clinical examination showed a typical tamponade. after a percutaneous aspiration of the pericardial cavity and transient impr...

This study proposes a scheme for high-order subharmonic injection locking in tunnel diode oscillator lattice loop. The loop supports rotary pulse resulting from mutual synchronization between the component oscillators. A topological defect form of dislocation is observed to rotate within direction opposite that background pulse. mutually synchronized with In addition, velocity considerably slow...

Abstract In the present study, we have analyzed electronic properties and formation energy of SbS 2 monolayer with Frenkel Schottky defects using first principle calculations. The variation in properties, such as band structure Density States (DOS) for defects, has been observed this paper. Monolayer show metallic behaviour, whereas defect shows a small direct indirect bandgap 24 meV 8 meV, res...

OBJECTIVE To examine the incidence of raised pulmonary artery pressure and resistance in adults with isolated atrial septal defect within the oval fossa (so called secundum defect) or sinus venosus defect. DESIGN A historical, retrospective, unrandomised study. SETTING A tertiary referral centre. METHODS Cardiac catheterisation was performed in all patients, with measurement of pulmonary ...
