ankylosing spondylitis (as) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease. phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a severe form of deep vein thrombosis characterized by swelling, pain, and bluish discoloration. treatment delay may cause venous gangrene, tissue ischemia, limb loss or death. here, we present an as case who presented with phlegmasia cerulea dolens and treated by catheter-directed thrombolysis.

E-commerce development is described in literature with reference to divergent points of views having many insufficiencies. In order to palliate these limits, this paper proposes a new construct, namely floors, corresponding to growing development levels. This construct permits e-commerce development influencing factors analysis. This paper proposes a model specifying factors influencing e-comme...

This paper examines the requirements for eLearning Object Metadata, in order to appropriately support pedagogic and economic goals as well as service oriented architectures like the Grid. The standard IEEE LOM is being tested against these requirements. In conclusion, it can be said that while current eLearning practices are well supported by the standard, the main insufficiencies concern a) th...

The purpose of this presentation is to report our experiences with tracheal fenestration in the treatment of pulmonary insufficiencies, covering a period of four and one half years. Since the first human application of this procedure on January 30, 1956, tracheal fenestration with effective tracheobronchial aspirations and self-aspirations proved to be of distinct help in the management of even...

Extracorporeal CO2 removal devices (ECCO2R) can be used in clinics to decarboxylate blood externally for patients suffering from pulmonary insufficiencies like acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this work, we propose a model of the respiratory system coupled with such a device to analyze the decrease of CO2 partial pressure in the blood as a function of the blood flow through the device. T...
