MATERIALS AND METHODS The technique uses a breast expander following mastectomy, which is then filled regularly until the desired expansion is reached (Fig. 1); the expander is then deflated by approximately 100–150 cc of saline to allow the same or slightly greater amount of purified adipose tissue to be transferred to the mammary region; with an approximately 6-month interval in between sessi...

according to the few studies in active rest interval between the resistance exercises sets, it can’t be explicitly commented about the effect of it on performance in consecutive sets. purpose: the purpose of the current study was to compare different active and passive rest interval durations (3 and 4 minutes) on the numbers of repetition of bench press with 50 and 75 percent of 1rm in untraine...

conclusions in samples stored in plastic syringes, overestimation of pao2 levels should be noted if samples cooled before analysis. in samples stored in plastic syringes, it is not necessary to store samples in iced water when analysis delayed up to one hour. results pao2 of the samples stored at 0°c was increased significantly after 60 minutes (p = 0.007). the paco2 of the samples kept for 30 ...

AIM To assess the efficacy of the procedural consolidation concept (PCC) at reducing the number of sessions of general anesthesia necessary for treating children with epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
