Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian (SIV) infections are characterized by dramatic alterations in the mucosal CD4 T cell compartment. Though viremia is effectively suppressed, peripheral numbers recover to near healthy levels after highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), some of dysfunctional consequences HIV infection continue persist during therapy. We hypothesized that folli...

The acute compartment syndrome of the forearm is rare and may therefore be easily missed. Although many clinicians will not see such a patient during their entire career, profound knowledge of the symptoms is required to recognize the syndrome in time. Besides immediate identification of the compartment syndrome early surgical treatment is mandatory to avoid its devastating consequences. Then t...

Among the many extensions of classical capacitated vehicle routing problem, multi-compartment problems have been studied extensively only in recent years. Vehicles with multiple compartments enable joint delivery or collection goods differing characteristics separate that would otherwise need transportation single-compartment vehicles. This enables greater flexibility decisions and order assign...

UNLABELLED Because recent reports have questioned the traditional 2-compartment model for calculating tracer clearance after a single intravenous injection, a 3-compartment model was evaluated in this study. METHODS Bayesian statistics were used, which facilitated curve fitting by treating all subjects simultaneously. (99m)Tc-Mercaptoacetyltriglycine clearance data from 154 adults and 109 chi...

The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative complications and traction times in femoroacetabular impingement hip arthroscopy with either a peripheral or central compartment starting point. Sixty patients with femoroacetabular impingement were treated with hip arthroscopy. Thirty patients had a peripheral compartment starting point and 30 had a central compartment starting point. ...
