The i-Laparotrainer

چکیده
We designed a simple model to illustrate posterior nasal packing to inexperienced trainees in a classroom environment. The plunger and the smaller end of a 20ml syringe, which is cut off, are discarded. The hollow syringe represents the nasal cavity. A Foley catheter is inserted from one end until it exits at the other end, representing the catheter’s tip seen in the oropharynx. While pulling the catheter, the balloon is infl ated until it rests against the syringe, corresponding to the posterior choana. The anterior end of the catheter is then secured with an umbilical clamp (Fig 1).

Investigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats
Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...
متن کاملThe Impact of Immune Response on HTLV-I in HTLV-I-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP)
Human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus which is associated with adult T cells leukaemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals. It is not clear why a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals develop HAM/TSP and majority remains lifelong carriers. It seems that the interaction between the v...
متن کاملThe total graph of a commutative semiring with respect to proper ideals
Let $I$ be a proper ideal of a commutative semiring $R$ and let $P(I)$ be the set of all elements of $R$ that are not prime to $I$. In this paper, we investigate the total graph of $R$ with respect to $I$, denoted by $T(Gamma_{I} (R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y in R$, the vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x + y in P(I)...
متن کاملOn $I$-statistical and $I$-lacunary statistical convergence of order $alpha$
In this paper, following a very recent and new approach, we further generalize recently introduced summability methods, namely, $I$-statistical convergence and $I$-lacunary statistical convergence (which extend the important summability methods, statistical convergence and lacunary statistical convergence using ideals of $mathbb{N}$) and introduce the notions of $I$-statis...
متن کاملComparison of Absorbed Fraction of Gamma and Beta Rays of I-124 and I-131radio-Isotopes in Thyroid Gland with Monte Carlo Simulation
I131 is a famous radio-iodine isotope in use for diagnosis and treatment of hyper functioning and cancerous thyroid gland. It is a nuclear reactor product; however nuclear reactor may be unavailable in some areas. Replacement by I-124 may be possible, another iodine isotope producible by cyclotron; a system more available than reactor. Here absorbed fraction of Gamma and Beta rays of...
