a 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. at microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. we found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis

the intraoperative care of pheochromocytomas can be difficult and lead to serious complications. we present a case of a 46 year-old female undergoing laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma, who was scheduled for surgery with phenoxybenzamine and amlodipin. under general anesthesia cardiovascular stability was achieved by peritumoral infiltration of lidocaine during resection.

study of the spatial variability of infiltration characteristics is essential to estimating infiltration parameters on a local scale. the objectives of the present study were to scale the parameters of a philip two-term model for infiltration and survey the variability of infiltration characteristics geostatistically using wastewater in the bajgah catchment. infiltration was measured at 30 poin...

OBJECTIVE Post-tonsillectomy pain is believed to be mediated by noxious stimulation of C-fiber afferents located in the peritonsillary space, and local anesthetic infiltration to this area may decrease pain by blocking the sensory pathways and thus preventing the nociceptive impulses. We aimed to compare the effects of different concentrations of preincisional peritonsillar levobupivacaine (0.2...

abstract- to study the effect of tree roots on increasing water infiltration in soil and also to determine and assess the coefficients of different infiltration models, some infiltration tests were performed in three tree plantation areas in badjgah, fars province with different soil textures (clay loam for pear plantation, sandy loam for grape plantation, loamy sand for pine trees). in each pl...

interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. to protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. as main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. ecologically, functional parameters such as stab...

bioretention or rain garden is a preferable low impact development (lid) approach due to its characteristics which reflect natural water cycle processes. however, this system is still little understood and quite complicated in terms of design and implementation due to many technical considerations. hence, this paper gives a review of the challenges and developments for the use of bioretention f...

study of soil quality indicators were considered as a useful method in the land use management. changing the land use affect soil hydrological processes such as water infiltration process. spatial variation of water infiltration in soil plays a very important role in hydrologic processes. variability of this process is affected by the inherent and non-inherent characters of the lands. in order ...

conclusions both methods lia and sfnb provided excellent pain relief and lower morphine consumption following tka. lia is a surgeon-controlled analgesic technique, which can be used to enhance patients’ satisfaction and reduce the pain in the very early postoperative period by surgeon independently. results group i had significantly lower morphine consumption in the first postoperative day (10 ...
