PURPOSE To review the functional outcome and local recurrence rate of 29 patients who underwent segmental excision or intralesional curettage with adjuvant therapy for giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone. METHODS Records of 17 men and 12 women (mean age, 30.17 years) who underwent segmental excision (n=18) or intralesional curettage followed by adjuvant therapy (n=11) for GCT of the femur (n=13),...

BACKGROUND Aggressive curettage has been well established for the treatment of giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the bone. The purpose of this study was to review our experience and evaluate the role of different implant materials in patients with GCTs of the extremities after aggressive curettage. METHODS A total of 119 patients with GCTs of the long bone were treated at the First Affiliated Hospi...

Treatment options of aneurysmal bone cysts include complete resection, curettage, curettage with bone grafting, selective arterial embolization (as a primary treatment or preoperative adjuvant therapy), and percutaneous injection of fibrosing agent. Treatment in pelvic locations is difficult because of the relative inaccessibility of the lesions, the proximity of the lesions to neurovascular st...

Background: Abnormal uterine Bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common gynecological disorders. Dilatation and curettage is a diagnostic procedure in the management of AUB. Definite treatments such as hysterectomy may be applied based on the results of dilatation and curettage. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of dilatation and curettage. Materials and method...

PURPOSE To evaluate the different surgical techniques used in the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone and their effect on the rate of local recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of fifty-two patients with giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bones treated at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University between 1998 and 2002. All patients were evaluated by clinical examina...

In this paper, the transient refrigerant gas flow in a two-cylinder rolling piston type rotary compressor is simulated using STAR-CD, a general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Three models with different suction piping systems are calculated respectively, one is two suction pipes were connected from accumulator to each cylinder separately (separate suction piping system), the other...

The temperature of the flue-gas in the post combustion zone of a waste to energy (WTE) plant has to be maintained within a fairly narrow range of values, the minimum of which is prescribed by the European Waste Directive 2000/76/CE, whereas the maximum value must be such as to ensure the preservation of the materials and the energy efficiency of the plant. A high degree of accuracy in measuring...

Primary focal hyperhidrosis is a common disorder for which treatment is often a therapeutic challenge. A systematic review of current literature on the various treatment modalities for primary focal hyperhidrosis was performed and a step-by-step approach for the different types of primary focal hyperhidrosis (axillary, palmar, plantar and craniofacial) was established. Non-surgical treatments (...

OBJECTIVE Studies from the USA have reported the efficacy and high acceptability of surgical abortion using manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) under local anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of surgical abortion using MVA under local anaesthesia for termination of pregnancy up to 63 days' gestation, within a UK National Health Service setting...

a numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. the continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity. the results show that at constant inlet and...
