Abstract INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness heparin inhibit development early bacteriuria as a coating for biodegradable ureteral stents. MATERIAL AND METHODS BraidStent®-H stent, whose incorporated by dip coating, was chosen study. Twenty-four swine were randomly divided into two groups: 12 animals underwent unilateral placement and fitted with standard double-j ...

Malignant ureteral obstruction can result in renal dysfunction or urosepsis and can limit the physician's ability to treat the underlying cancer. There are multiple methods to deal with ureteral obstruction including regular polymeric double J stents (DJS), tandem DJS, nephrostomy tubes, and then more specialized products such as solid metal stents (e.g., Resonance Stent, Cook Medical) and poly...

Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is a rare autosomal recessive inheritance disorder of bilirubin metabolism. Herein we reported a complicated but interesting case which is readily resulted in misdiagnosis or an indefinite diagnosis, and this is the first reported familial case of DJS with multiple liver cavernous hemangiomas. A 49-year-old man was referred to our hospital for jaundice and multiple ...

In this paper we introduce the concepts of hyper P -semisimple Ialgebra and Abelian hyper I-algebra and we state and prove some related results. The hyper p-semi simple I-algebras is a generalization of p-semisimple BCI-algebras and a subclass of hyper I-algebras. Specially we show that every Abelian hyper I-algebra is a hyper psemisimple I-algebra and a commutative canonical hypergroup. In fol...

There are many disorders associated with direct hyperbilirubinemia in the neonatal period. These usually need urgent referral to identify treatable diseases. DubinJohnson Syndrome (DJS), which results from impaired hepatic excretory function, is an uncommon cause of neonatal jaundice and is only sporadically reported in neonates. We report here a neonate who presented with direct hyperbilirubin...

Music and online Social Network Sites (SNS) are closely intertwined in popular culture, but we know relatively little about how performers use and take advantage of such social systems. This paper investigates this space by exploring how professional DJs leverage SNS in their work. It adopts a long term mixed-methods ethnographic approach encompassing semi-structured interviews, supported by st...

In this paper we start with a lattice (X,∨,∧) and define, in terms of ∨, a family of crisp hyperoperations tp (one hyperoperation for each p ∈ X). We show that, for every p, the hyperalgebra (X,tp) is a join space and the hyperalgebra (X,tp,∧) is very similar to a hyperlattice. Then we use the hyperoperations tp as p-cuts to introduce an L-fuzzy hyperoperation t and show that (X,t) is an L-fuzz...

in this paper the class of n-ary hypergroups is introduced and several properties are found andexamples are presented. n-ary hypergroups are a generalization of hypergroups in the sense of marty. on theother hand, we can consider n-ary hypergroups as a good generalization of n-ary groups. we define thefundamental relation β* on an n-ary hypergroup h as the smallest equivalence relation such tha...
