Background. The upper anterior abdominal wall is a very unusual location for an ectopic pregnancy making optimal management uncertain. Case. We report the case of a 26-year-old gravida 4, para 1, aborta 2 with a rising quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin level following a negative diagnostic laparoscopic examination. She was subsequently diagnosed with an abdominal wall ectopic pregnancy ...

Introduction. Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is recognized as a plaque destabilizing factor, due to the myriad proatherosclerotic effects of red blood cells (RBCs) [1]. A high resolution, fatand flow-suppressed, T1-weighted MRI sequence (MRIPH) has been shown to detect IPH due to the T1-shortening effects of methemoglobin. Presence of MRIPH positive signal predicts future ischemic events in both ...

The unsteady flow evolution in a porous chamber with surface mass injection simulating propellant burning in a nozzleless solid rocket motor has been investigated by means of a large-eddy simulation (LES) technique. Of particular importance is the turbulence-transition mechanism in injection-driven compressible flows with high injection rates in a chamber closed at one end and connected to a di...

• Experiments of the spreading a liquid film generated by high pressurized spray impacting wall. The pressure, distance to wall, time injection and temperature are varied. radius follows t 1 / 2 evolution during spreading. results from balance between radial pressure gradient viscous friction inside film. Once is shut down, relaxation observed due dissipation momentum n-decane induced impingeme...

Orthotopic bladder cancer xenografts are essential for testing novel therapies and molecular manipulations of cell lines in vivo. Current xenografts rely on tumor cell inoculation by intravesical instillation or direct injection into the bladder wall. Instillation is limited by the lack of cell lines that are tumorigenic when delivered in this manner. The invasive model inflicts morbidity on th...

Specific chemical modification of group A polysaccharide antigen to the A-variant structure was demonstrated in the lymphoid organs of mice by autoradiography by use of radioantibodies specific for these structures. Both antigenic moieties persisted and were still discerned 10 weeks after injection of the group A cell wall. In rabbit skin, the group A specificity was altered after a prolonged p...

The major technical drawback of percutaneous vertebroplasty is the potential for neural compromise from leakage of polymethylmethaorylate into epidural or perivertebral veins. We have combined the procedure of intrathecal injection of contrast medium with vertebroplasty to better delineate spinal canal encroachment during injection when the posterior vertebral wall is compromised by myeloma.

s of papers 37 158 Effect of intra-abdominal injection of lipopolysaccharide or muramyl dipeptide on the acute phase response in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). E.A. Koutsos* and K.C. Klasing, University of California, Davis, California. Experiments were conducted in Japanese quail to determine the effect of repeated injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the cell wall of the ...

in this study digital image correlation (dic) technique combined with a high speed video system was used to predict movement of particles in a water model. comparing with particle-image velocimetry (piv) technique, it provides a low cost alternative approach to visualize flow fields and was successfully employed to predict the movement of particles in a water model at different submergence dept...
