Surgical husbandry practices carried out on farm animals in many management systems are: castration, docking, disbudding, dehorning, spaying, ear notching, ear tagging, brandinghot, branding-freeze, mulesing, teeth grinding, teeth clipping, tusk grinding, nose ringing, tail nicking, beak trimming. The management of farm animals is based on the ability to control them and many aspects of their e...

BACKGROUND Early repolarisation (ER) is commonly seen on electrocardiograms (ECG). Recent reports have described the relationship between ER and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The prevalence and significance of ER have not been studied in black Africans. METHOD We matched clinical and ECG records of subjects over 18 years of age who consulted a cardiac unit in two medical centres of Douala, Came...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether electrocardiographic characteristics of ventricular arrhythmias distinguish patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) from those with right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (RVOT-VT). BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmias in RVOT-VT and ARVD/C-VT patients can share a left bundle branch block/...

In-house PLT (Powerline Telecommunication) enables new and highly convenient networking functions without the need for additional cables on mains-powered devices. Since wireless networks are not able to reach sufficient throughput between different rooms or even floors, PLC is considered to be the ideal backbone home network medium, providing complementary and seamless interaction with wireless...

We have analyzed the genesis of physical signs in a case of prolapsing left atrial myxoma by simultaneous phono-, apex- and M-mode echocardiography. Our findings confirm a direct relationship of tumor movements with notching in the upstroke of the apexcardiogram and with the protodiastolic "tumor plop."

We appreciate the comments Schachar made on human accommodative ciliary muscle configuration. We agree with the author that the ciliary muscle image in our Figure 2B1 appears to show notching of the anterior radial muscle fibers in the accommodative eye. This observation may be interpreted as the movement of the anterior radial muscle fibers. We thank the author for bringing up this important i...

The article presents specialized software methods for reducing stress concentration. Objects of study are cylindrical test specimens subjected to axial loading. Notching with different shapes and sizes on the were formed reduce stresses in endangered areas. geometric parameters notches identified through built-in modules ANSYS software. An analysis performed show influence acting fatigue limit ...

Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty is used in massive rotator cuff tears, it also proximal humerus fractures and revision. In this study, we aimed to examine the early radiological clinical results of patients undergoing with different diagnoses. Between 2010 2013, was applied 10 (4 men, 6 women) diagnosis arthropathy due tear (n: 7), multi-fragmentary fracture 2) hemiarthroplasty revision ...

During the early stages of orthodontic treatment, the self-ligating system is more efficient because a reduction of friction in the interface archwire-bracket occurs. The friction is determined by three components: friction, binding and notching; it depends on the critical contact angle defined, for each pair of wire and brackets, where they contact in two diametrically opposite slotâ€TMs points.
