A surgically treated case of the nutcracker phenomenon is reported. Severe left flank pain and gross hematuria were relieved by direct renocaval reimplantation. We proposed the diagnostic criteria of the nutcracker phenomenon causing severe flank pain and/or renal hematuria.

Sprague-Dawley rats (Rattus norvegicus) were observed in a familiar environment. In Experiment 1 a leader entered a clean chamber, and an opposite-sex follower entered the chamber next. Both sexes began to flank mark after several sessions. Males flank marked more, and females locomoted more, but both sexes urine marked and investigated objects equally often. Leaders and followers did not diffe...

In this research work a series of tests were conducted in order to determine flank wear and cutting force FY on hard AISI 440 C martensitic stainless steel and SCM 440 alloy steels. The operating parameters are cutting speed, feed rate and a constant depth of cut to investigate the flank wear and cutting force. No cutting fluid was used during the turning process. The cutting tool used was CBN ...

Psychophysical length and width spatial interactions associated with a line target were measured in normal observers dichoptically and in observers with naturally acquired amblyopia to investigate the neural locus of end-stopped perceptive fields. Results show (1) interocular transfer of psychophysical end-stopping, flank-inhibition, and length and width summation; and (2) severe, but significa...

In this article, a novel method for calculating the amount of flank wear that occurs during turning nickel-based superalloy Monel K500 is presented. order to determine how much worn-out insert has sustained, technique known as Modified MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) was applied it. particular piece research, algorithm referred Flank Net. When data generated by Flank-Net and analysed t...

Accepted 20 August 1997 A 54-year-old noninsulin-dependent diabetic woman presented with fever and left flank pain of one-month duration. She denied haematuria, gravelluria or oliguria. At presentation, she was febrile (body temperature 39°C), drowsy and dehydrated. Her pulse was 100 beats/min and blood pressure 100/70 mmHg. An indistinct tender mass was palpable in her left lumbar region. Othe...
