INTRODUCTION Evaluation of treatment attempts in postoperative adhesion formation is pivotal for the prevention of several morbidities including infertility, pelvic pain, bowel obstruction, and subsequent intraoperative complications. The purpose of this systemic review was to assess the literature on the rat uterine horn model for adhesion formation and treatment modalities to prevent adhesion...

BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum can be a cofactor in adhesion formation. Pneumoperitoneum with non-humidified gas causes desiccation in the peritoneal cavity which decreases temperature. The effect of desiccation upon adhesion formation is widely accepted. The specific effect of the associated cooling upon adhesion formation remains unexplored, and was addressed specifically in our laparoscopic mou...

Although numerous molecules have been associated with synaptic cell adhesion, there has been little conclusive evidence linking them to specific effects on synapse formation and function. By searching vertebrate sequence databanks, a novel homophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule called SynCAM has been found which is homologous to members of the immunoglobulin-like (Ig) superfamily and in vit...

Objective(s): The ability of bacteria to produce biofilm and adhesion makes them more resistant to antibiotics. The current study aims to evaluate the biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus and to determine the prevalence of adhesion genes, also their correlation with drug resistance.Materials and Methods: A total of 96 MRSA were collected from hospitals of Iran’s western provinces during 2...

conclusions endoscopic keel placement should be done with heavy suture through cricothyroid and thyrohyoid membranes. surgeons should suture the keel to the anterior laryngeal wall with specially designed lichtenberger’s needle-carriers to prevent complications such as keel aspiration, adhesion formation and imposing a second trip under general anesthetics, which put the patient at increased ri...

the adhesion molecules are involved in adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells and other immune cells. not only adhesion molecules have membrane form, but they also have soluble form. in this paper, we attempted to investigate the concen¬tration of soluble adhesion molecules in the type 1 diabetic patients (n = 40) and healthy subjects (n = 10). the results indicated that there was an incre...

Surface roughness of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) printed overhang regions is a major contributor to deteriorated shape accuracy/surface quality. This study investigates the mechanisms behind evolution surface (Ra) in regions. The morphology result combination border track contour, adhesion, warp deformation, and dross formation, which strongly related angle (?). When 0° ? ? 15°, does not af...
