چکیده
Endoscopic extraction of sharp and or irregularly shaped foreign bodies (SIFB) impacted in the esophagus poses a challenge to the endoscopist. It may be hazardous and is known to be associated 1,2,3 with a higher risk of esophageal perforation . This hazard may be amplified in the face of inadequate equipment, a situation prevalent in resource-limited settings of developing countries. Some impacted SIFB may sometimes have to be extracted by an external approach to minimize complication; this entails an esophagostomy or a laparotomy. Endoscopy however, is the most widely used method of extraction due to its relative ease, lower morbidity and lower complication rates.

متن کاملBackward Bifurcation Analysis of Epidemic Model with Partial Immunity
This paper presents a two stage SIS epidemic model in animal population with bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in African buffalo as a guiding example. The proposed model is rigorously analyzed. The analysis reveals that the model exhibits the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, where a stable disease-free equilibrium (DFE) coexists with a stable endemic equilibrium (EE) when the associated reproductio...

Here, we report an 10-year-old male that presented after having seizures with a history of Chiari 1 malformation, autism spectrum disorder and ADHD with moderate mental retardation and speech delay. This case highlights the fact that autism spectrum diso...
متن کاملWeighted G-Multi-Degree Reduction of Bézier Curves
In this paper, weighted G-multi-degree reduction of Bézier curves is considered. The degree reduction of a given Bézier curve of degree n is used to write it as a Bézier curve of degree m,m < n. Exact degree reduction is not possible, and, therefore, approximation methods are used. The weight function w(t) = 2t(1 − t), t ∈ [0, 1] is used with the L2-norm in multidegree reduction with G-continui...
