BACKGROUND Each year, thousands of children worldwide suffer obstetric brachial plexus nerve injuries resulting not only in primary nerve injury, but also in development of secondary muscle and bone deformities of the shoulder. The triangle tilt surgery has been developed and shown to effectively address these deformities. The triangle tilt procedure was initially designed by the lead author (R...

this study focused on triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc) that is characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen receptor (er), progesterone receptor (pr), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her-2). the primary goal of this study was to describe the relation between triple-negative receptor status and survival. this is the first study about triple-negative breast cancer in our ...

on the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a horizontal layer of nanofluid heated from below and salted from above and below is studied both analytically and numerically. the effects of thermophoresis and brownian diffusion parameters are also introduced through buongiorno model in the governing equations. by using linear stability analysis based on perturbation theory and applying normal m...

peripherally inserted venous ports fracture with embolization in patients who received chemotherapy is a serious and rare complication,and few cases have been reported in children. we report a successful endovascular technique using a snare for retrieving broken peripherally inserted venous ports in a child for chemotherapy. catheter fragments may cause complications such as cardiac perforation...

Pelvic exenteration is a radical surgery which includes the en bloc resection of the pelvic organs and followed by surgical reconstruction (Hockel et al., 2006; Diver et al., 2012). The en bloc resection includes internal reproductive organs, rectosigmoid colon, urinary bladder and distal ureters. Pelvic exenteration is classified into 3 types; anterior pelvic exenteration, posterior pelvic exe...

Pelvic fractures are classified according to the stability of the pelvic ring. Unlike stable pelvic fractures, which heal without complications, unstable fractures may lead to pelvic ring deformities, which cause severe complications. An orthopedic surgeon must determine the stability of the pelvic ring by radiography and physical examination of the patient in order to ensure early, prompt trea...
