background: dialysis patients frequently have coronary artery disease but are regarded as high risk patients for coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods: between february 2002 and september 2006, seventeen dialysis-dependent patients underwent isolated cabg at our center. cabg was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) for all the patients. all cases had been maintained on hemodia...

We show that an instanton with high charge can provoke the creation of extra curvature on space holds it. Geometrically, this corresponds to a new surgery operation, which we name grafting. Curvature around sphere increases by grafting when decays.

This study investigated the chemical grafting of a single-layer poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) film. The effect of the grafting parameters (grafting time, grafting temperature, and concentration of fatty acid chloride) on the hydrophobicity of the film surface and the film solubility were evaluated. The PVOH substrate film (cold-water soluble at 20°C) was manufactured by flat extrusion and had a th...

: a new fibrous adsorbent was prepared by grafting acrylic acid /acryl amide (aa/aam) co-monomers onto poly(ethylene terephtalat) (pet) fibers. the resulting sorbent has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermo gravimetric analysis (tga), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and determination of trace...

In a series of Polynesian pearls collected after short cultivation periods, early post-grafting mineral deposits were characterized by high resolution synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence with unprecedented accuracy. Morphological patterns and elemental composition are correlated through simultaneous imaging processes. Evidence that aragonite calcite occur in neighboring units during the earlie...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate air layering, cutting, and grafting, with different indolebutyric acid (IBA) rates, for the vegetative propagation Eugenia involucrata. Air layering carried out two consecutive years five IBA rates. Cutting tested woody herbaceous cuttings, using four in three seasons. grafting methods – cleft graft splice were For trials experimental designs ...

heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (hit) is an antibody mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy which is classified into two subtypes, hit i which is non-immune, spontaneously reversible thrombocytopenia and; hit ii which is an autoimmune-mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy. in this case report, we described a 65-year old male patient with hit ii after coronary artery bypass grafting. ...

LetX be a closed oriented hyperbolic surface and γ a simple closed geodesic, which is short on X. We show that the iterated grafting grtγgrsγX is close to the grafting ray gr(s+T )γX in the Teichmüller metric, where the bounds depend on the length of γ only. Using this result, we show that the holonomy lifts gr2πγgrtγX of a grafting ray all lie in a r-tube around the ray grtγX and the rays grtγ...

This paper extends recent work on decision tree grafting. Grafting is an inductive process that adds nodes to inferred decision trees. This process is demonstrated to frequently improve predictive accuracy. Superficial analysis might suggest that decision tree grafting is the direct reverse of pruning. To the contrary, it is argued that the two processes are complementary. This is because, like...

We reviewed retrospectively the outcome of the treatment by impaction grafting of periprosthetic femoral fractures around loose stems in 106 patients with Vancouver type-B2 and type-B3 fractures. Eighty-nine patients had a cemented revision with impaction grafting and a long or short stem. The remaining 17 had cemented revision without impaction grafting. Fractures treated by impaction grafting...
