BACKGROUND Most deceased donor kidney allocation protocols are based on waiting time and do not take into account either recipient's life expectancy. This study investigates whether graft survival is affected by patient life expectancy. METHODS A total of 640 adult kidney transplants were performed. Recipients were divided in group A (patients ≤ 50 years) and group B (patients > 50 years). Th...

Over the last 50 years, the evolution of burn care has led to a significant decrease in mortality. The biggest impact on survival has been the change in the approach to burn surgery. Early excision and grafting has become a standard of care for the majority of patients with deep burns; the survival of a given patient suffering from major burns is invariably linked to the take rate and survival ...

The present investigation was carried out in the fruit nursery, Department of Fruit Science, College Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh w.e.f., June, 2019−July, 2020. In two factors viz., time wedge grafting (mid-June, mid-July, mid-August, mid-September, mid-February mid-March) use polycap (Graft union covered with or without polycap) were studied to standardize ideal ...

The current surgical approach to the uncomplicated bulbar urethral stricture began in 1993 when El-Kasaby et al . [ 1 ] described the repair of anterior urethral strictures using an oral mucosa graft, including eight patients who underwent bulbar urethroplasty. In 1996, Morey and McAninch [ 2 ] fi rst described ventral onlay oral mucosa urethroplasty, suggesting suturing of the oral graft in th...

OBJECTIVE To review the outcome of secondary alveolar bone grafting in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate. DESIGN A surgeon's experience, by retrospective chart review, of 70 consecutive patients at a tertiary care centre. OUTCOME MEASURE Periapical radiographs were taken at least six months after secondary alveolar bone grafting. The Enemark grading system was used to stratify g...

At the end of the experiment, you will receive a show-up fee of NT$100 plus the NTD converted from the “Standard Currency Units” you have earned in the experiment. (“Standard Currency Units” are the experimental currency units used in the experiment.) The amount of “Standard Currency Units” you will receive, which will be different for each participant, depends on your decision, the decision of...

This paper examines the question of sharing of rights and information in the Take-Grant Protection Model by concentrating on the similarities between the two; in order to do this, we state and prove new theorems for each that specifically show the similarities. The proof for one of the original theorems is also provided. These statements of necessary and sufficient conditions are contrasted to ...

Standard procedure for monosegmental anterior spondylodesis often combines anterior stabilization with autologous iliac crest graft. Recent publications defined a minimum size of the graft as a technical specification for this procedure. The cross sectional area of the graft to be transplanted should be at least 23.9% of the cross sectional area of the vertebral bodies to be fused. We investiga...
