Myocardial bridge is a benign congenital anomaly in which a segment of major epicardial coronary arteries descends into the myocardium for a variable distance. Myocardial bridge is most often single and located in the middle part of the left anterior descending artery. The presence of more than one myocardial bridge in coronary arteries is very rare. We present a patient with more than one myoc...

in this paper, evaluation of torsional stiffness in beam and slab bridge deck elements is presented. a beam and slab bridge decks structurally behave as a grillage. a grillage has an efficient transverse load distribution due to transverse asymmetric load. in the case of bridge deck without transverse beams in the span, transverse load distribution depends on the torsional stiffness of longitud...

Recent experimental research has shown that ordinary unbounded steel reinforced elastomeric bearings (SREBs) can be considered as an attractive cost-effective option for the seismic isolation of highway bridges. To further investigate its benefits, the current study is focused on the seismic risk assessment of an optimally designed highway bridge isolated by SREB system. A typical three-span hi...

Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...

IMPORTANCE The risk of bleeding and recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients receiving long-term warfarin sodium therapy for secondary VTE prevention who require temporary interruption of anticoagulant therapy for surgery or invasive diagnostic procedures has not been adequately described. OBJECTIVE To describe the rates of clinically relevant bleeding and recurrent VTE among pat...

OBJECTIVE: This study is to compare the dentin bridge thickness achieved using calcium hydroxide and MTA radiographs. METHODOLOGY: Single blinded randomized controlled trial conducted in Operative Dentistry department at Fatima Jinnah Dental College Hospital, Karachi. A total of 100 premolar molar teeth with class I II cavities were included this study. The participants assigned into two groups...

We introduce a new class of edge labelings for locally finite lattices which we call SB-labelings. We prove for finite lattices which admit an SB-labeling that each open interval has the homotopy type of a ball or of a sphere of some dimension. Natural examples include the weak order, the Tamari lattice, and the finite distributive lattices.
