The extravascular milieu around laser-induced experimental subretinal neovascularization (SRN) was studied during the evolution of the neovascular membrane from its early leaky stage to its late involuted stage. When the first signs of visible leakage appeared on angiography, newly formed vessels were spread in the subretinal space around the break in Bruch's membrane, fluid was accumulating in...

A 57-year-old man was admitted because of abdominal pain and vomiting; he had a history of right inguinal hernia and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Physical examination revealed mild abdominal distention, no incision scar, abdominal tenderness, minimal bowel sounds, a tender and bruised scrotum, and an irreducible hernia. Abdominal radiography revealed abnormal small intestinal air fluid levels, and...

Background: Mammalian spermatozoa are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which leads to structural damage to the sperm cell, the enzymatic leakage from spermatozoa accompanied by lowered motility and metabolism. Catalase, an enzyme that detoxify hydrogen peroxide and reduce the enzyme leakage from sperm cell Materials and Methods: For this study, buffalo bull testicles (20 pairs) were pi...

In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the value of sequential determinations of pelvic drainage in the identification of increased risk of anastomotic leakage (AL) after anterior resection for rectal cancer with a double stapling technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2011, data for the daily postoperative pH of pelvic drainage fluid in 753 consecutive patients with rectal cancer ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is known to cause orthostatic headache. Spontaneous CSF leakage occurs under several conditions, such as lumbar puncture, spinal surgery, and fracture of the spine. Intrasacral meningocele is an anomaly caused by an abnormal prolongation of the meninges in the sacral spinal canal. Typical symptoms of this anomaly are low back pain, bladder dysfunction, and scia...

Radionuclide Cisternography (RNC) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). In the current report, we present two patients who underwent RNC for suspected CSF leakage. Both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and RNC for evaluation. We describe a simple method to increase the ...
