A 58-year-old man underwent laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I gastroduodenostomy due to early gastric cancer. During surgery, the perigastric vessels were ligated with Hem-o-Lok clips. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) 6 months later showed a fungating mass at the anastomosis site. Repeat EGD 1 year after LADG showed a Hem-o-Lok clip at the fungating mass lesion. Bec...

analysis of time series data can involve the inversion of large covariance matrices. for theclass of arma (p, q) processes there are no exact explicit expressions for these inverses, except for thema (1) process. in practice, the sample covariance matrix can be very large and inversion can becomputationally time consuming and so approximate explicit expressions for the inverse are desirable.thi...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to validate the Omron HEM-907 blood pressure (BP) measuring device according to the international validation protocol. DESIGN The international validation protocol is divided into two phases: the first phase is performed on 15 selected subjects and if the device passes this phase, 18 more subjects are selected making a total number of 33 subjects on which ...

Amaç: Alkol bağımlılığı alkolü yıkan enzimler ve dopaminerjik, gama aminobutrik asiderjik, glutamaetrjik, opiyat, kolinerjik ve serotonerjik sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerle ilişkilidir. Endojen kannabinoid sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerin de alkol bağımlılığında etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, alkol bağımlılığı ile DRD2 TaqIA, 5-HT1B A-161T ve CNR1 1359 G/A (rs1049353) po...

Complete mortality of one-day old codling moth eggs infesting Red Delicious apples was achieved by fumigation with methyl bromide at 24 g/m3 for 2h at 12.0 ± 0.5°C, followed by 18 d coolstorage at mean fruit pulp temperatures in the range 0.52 1.77°C. Non-fumigated coolstored eggs required a period of 33 d exposure at the same temperatures to achieve complete kill. Fumigation followed by coolst...
