investigating the frequency of traumatic nasal bone fracture in patients with and without old septal deviation and possible deviation. prospective study of 105 patients with nose trauma conducted and cases were divided into two groups: a study group 35 patients with nasal fracture and a control group of 70 patients without nasal fracture. diagnosis of septal condition was made by anterior rhino...

Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...

The move to the cloud brings a number of new security challenges, but the application remains your last line of defense. Engineers are extremely well poised to perform tasks critical for securing the application—provided that certain key obstacles are overcome. Cloud Shifts the Burden of Security to Development

Penetration testing entails attacking a system to identify and report insecurity, but doing so without harming the system nor encroaching on the dignity of those affected by it. To improve the interaction between penetration testers and their processes and technology, we need to understand the factors that affect decisions they make with ethical import. This paper presents four ethical hazards ...

Filamentous fungi grow as extending and branching tubular cells (hyphae) that generate radially symmetric colonies. As colonies expand, hyphal tips at the periphery avoid each other to allow maximum coverage of the medium, while hyphal tips at the colony center actively fuse to generate an interconnected network of hyphae that allows the bulk movement of cytoplasm toward the colony edge [1]. Hy...

INTRODUCTION Ultrasonography of the penis is readily available to the urologist and gives good anatomic detail of soft tissue structures. It has not been widely utilized in the assessment of Peyronie's disease (PD). AIMS To describe the sonographic characteristics of the penis in PD and the relationship between clinical and sonographic features. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled p...

Dedicated γ-cameras based on pixelated scintillators have long been used for breast tumor imaging. Intercrystal scattering (ICS) increases the background counting rate and degrades the image quality when small crystal pixels are used. Because of the small size of applied collimators, scattered radiation and septal penetration are high, and therefore collimator characteristics must be carefully ...
