Background: To compare transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle aspiration in the diagnosis of ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Materials and Methods: Design: A retrospective case-controlled study comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Setting: Cl...

Complications of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), among which serious ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death are of major importance, affect many individuals due to the high incidence of MVP itself in the community despite the actual low incidence of these complications. The present study investigated the incidence and distribution of ventricular arrhythmias according to their severity and relatio...

Background: Children with seizure disorder are often treated with sodium valproate (SV) on long-term basis. SV acts mainly through gamma amino butyric acid pathways, reducing the excitatory neurotransmission and modifying the monoamine concentration. Altered monoamine concentration by SV is expected to cause movement disorder and cognitive dysfunction, considered reversible after the withdrawal...

Starting from a fully controlled recruitment system, more employees obtained employment through a more market oriented mechanism. This study applies human capital theory to investigate the impact of this institutional change on TVP wage determination. It is found that education as one of most important human c...

BACKGROUND Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is frequent in patients with mitral valve disease. Untreated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) may cause poor clinical outcomes. The surgical factors involved in annuloplasty for FTR remain controversial. Our objective was to compare effectiveness of different tricuspid annuloplasty (TVP), and reveal the risk factors of recurrence. METHODS We ana...

background: sodium valproate (sv) has been approved for migraine prophylaxis and its intravenous form is used to treat acute migraine attacks. we compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous sv and subcutaneous sumatriptan in managing acute migraine attacks. methods: this double-blind randomized clinical trial divided 90 patients into two groups: one group received 400 mg of intravenous sv a...
