A (2.4 Kg) female full-term baby admitted with respiratory distress and frothing from the mouth since birth. The infantogram with the nasogastric tube in situ revealed the position of the tube was at T7-T8 vertebral level and there was no gas in the abdomen (Fig. 1). There was no other associated anomaly. At operation, the upper and lower pouches were almost in continuity but there was a 1cm lo...

Background and Objectives: The coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operation has perhaps become one of extensively studied operation in the history of surgery. It has been shown to be highly effective for the relief of ischemic heart diseases, and to have prolonged life in some subsets of patients. Diabetes mellitus is an established independent risk factor for causing significant morbidity ...

Today buildings should be designed for energy efficiency class not less than C. This requires ventilation with heat recovery. On the market, there are different compact recovery units decentralized ventilation. Regenerative ventilators represent a promising area of effective exhaust air They operate cyclically inlet and outlet air. These kinds work in blocked pair(s) – one input output each pai...

It is known that if a 2-universal hash function H is applied to elements of a block source (X1, . . . , XT ), where each item Xi has enough min-entropy conditioned on the previous items, then the output distribution (H,H(X1), . . . , H(XT )) will be “close” to the uniform distribution. We provide improved bounds on how much min-entropy per item is required for this to hold, both when we ask tha...

critically ill patient transfer is potentially risky and may be lead to morbidity and mortality. physicians' skill is very important for safe transport. we want to evaluate the effect of clinical course teaching on the promotion of physicians' abilities in the transport of critically ill patients. in an interventional study, 320 interns, male and female, were taught about patient transfer in tw...

BACKGROUND Blunt chest injury is not uncommon in trauma patients. Haemothorax and pneumothorax may occur in these patients, and some of them will develop retained pleural collections. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become an appropriate method for treating these complications, but the optimal timing for performing the surgery and its effects on outcome are not clearly understoo...

It is currently taught that early decelerations, or type l Dip, are related to the compression of the fetal head in the birth canal, late decelerations, or type 2 Dip, to placental insufficiency and variable decelerations to cord compression. All these patterns are elicited by, and by definition related to, the uterine contractions. With the increasing use of electronic fetal heart rate monitor...

this research is a field study designed to-investigate the complication of patients, who underwent heart valve   surgery and were hospitalized in intensive care unit.   in this research, the field files of those patient who had undergone surgical heart valve operation and were   hospitalized in intensive care units in 1992, have been selected as general research documents.   from the point of t...
