Component-based development (CBD) is a name, with which software development professionals are quite familiar. There are several models which have been proposed for CBD in last few years. They contain good features but there are some improvement possibilities in them. The objective of this paper is to propose a process for CBD and to evaluate the effects of quality parameters on reusability. Th...

Our aim was to determine the effects of carotid body denervation (CBD) on the ventilatory responses to focal acidosis and ibotenic acid (IA) injections into the medullary raphe area of awake, adult goats. Multiple microtubules were chronically implanted into the midline raphe area nuclei either before or after CBD. For up to 15 days after bilateral CBD, arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) (13.3 +/- 1.9 Torr)...

CONTEXT Common bile duct (CBD) injury during cholecystectomy is a significant source of patient morbidity, but its impact on survival is unclear. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the relation between CBD injury and survival and to identify the factors associated with improved survival among Medicare beneficiaries. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Retrospective study using Medicare National Claims Hist...

BACKGROUND The complete degradation of the cellulose requires the synergistic action of endo-β-glucanase, exo-β-glucanase, and β-glucosidase. But endo-β-glucanase and exo-β-glucanase can be recovered by solid-liquid separation in cellulose hydrolysis by their cellulose binding domain (CBD), however, the β-glucosidases cannot be recovered because of most β-glucosidases without the CBD, so additi...

The cannabis constituent cannabidiol (CBD) possesses anxiolytic and antipsychotic properties. We have previously shown that transmembrane domain neuregulin 1 mutant (Nrg1 TM HET) mice display altered neurobehavioural responses to the main psychoactive constituent of cannabis, Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol. Here we investigated whether Nrg1 TM HET mice respond differently to CBD and whether CBD reve...

Background. In order to assess the diagnostic accuracy of linear EUS for evaluating clinically suggestive CBD stones in high-risk groups. Methods. 202 patients with clinically suggestive CBD stones in high-risk groups who underwent linear EUS examination between January 2012 and January 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stone extracti...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The use of routine versus selective intra-operative cholangiogram (IOC) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains an area of debate. In this study, we investigated the routine use of IOC in a single center, to determine whether it confers a reduced risk of common bile duct (CBD) injury and improved patient outcomes. We also identified several preoperative predictiv...

Purpose. The recurrence of CBD stone is still observed in a considerable number of patients. The study was to evaluate the risk factors for recurrence of symptomatic CBD stone in patients who underwent cholecystectomy after the removal of CBD stone. Methods. The medical records of patients who underwent removal of CBD stone with subsequent cholecystectomy were reviewed. The risk factors for the...

The concept of component-based development (CBD) is widely practiced in software (SW) development. CBD is based on reuse of the existing components with the new ones. The objective of this paper is to propose a novel process model for CBD. Importance of repository has also been discussed. A survey has been conducted to evaluate the proposed model. The results of the survey show that proposed pr...

Metastatic breast cancer is typically identified in the bones, lymph nodes, lungs and liver. Rarely does metastatic breast cancer involve the common bile duct (CBD) without direct extension from liver metastasis into the CBD. We present a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the CBD after presenting with obstructive jaundice. Patients with a history of primary breast cancer who pres...
