cerebral venous thrombosis, including thrombosis of cerebral veins and major dural sinuses, is an uncommon disorder in the general population. however, it has a higher frequency among patients younger than 40 years of age, patients with thrombophilia, pregnant patients or those receiving hormonal contraceptive therapy or has foreign body such as catheter in their veins or arterial system. in th...

An experiment was conducted to assess how hatchability performance of eggs is affected by line and age female broiler breeders. Response variables analyzed were hatchability, infertility, pipping (i.e., pipped shell but not emerged), embryonic mortality (1st, 2nd, 3rd wk), malposition. The trials involved a total 2,880 fertile from two breeder lines (Ross 308 Cobb 500) at different ages (30 50 ...

BACKGROUND Natrelle 410 silicone breast implants are approved in the United States for breast augmentation, reconstruction, and revision. METHODS In two ongoing, prospective, multicenter 10-year studies, 17,656 subjects received Natrelle 410 implants for augmentation (n = 5059), revision-augmentation (n = 2632), reconstruction (n = 7502), or revision-reconstruction (n = 2463). Capsular contra...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate distinguishing the right/left side of the fetus, cardiac axis and position according to the standardized Cordes technique in 20 cases with cardiac malposition. METHODS We studied retrospectively 1536 cases whose fetal echocardiographic examinations were performed between 1999 and 2006 in prenatal cardiology unit. Among these, cardiac malposition...

A rare malposition of central venous catheter in the left superior intercostal vein is described. The diagnostic features and the possible ways to prevent this complication are discussed.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical findings and outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with marginal entropion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with impairment of the natural square-shaped eyelid margin morphology, anterior migration of mucocutaneous junction and mild lid inversion toward the ocular surface were diagnosed as having marginal entropion. Patients with shortened fornices, cic...

BACKGROUND Quadriceps-sparing (QS) approach is considered to be the most minimally invasive surgery for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We perform this meta-analysis to evaluate whether malalignment and malposition are more biased towards the QS approach compared to the traditional medial parapatellar (MP) approach, which is still controversial. METHODS According to the PRISMA guidelines, a co...
