BACKGROUND Pregnancy in the rudimentary uterine horn is an extremely rare clinical condition. Treatment includes surgical removal of the rudimentary horn. METHODS A rudimentary horn pregnancy was reported that occurred after intrauterine insemination. Similar cases treated with laparoscopic surgery reported in the peer-reviewed journals were reviewed as well. RESULTS Pregnancy in the right ...

BACKGROUND Children of workers exposed to pesticides are at risk of secondary pesticide exposure. We evaluated the potential for lower acetylcholinesterase activity in children cohabiting with fresh-cut flower plantation workers, which would be expected from organophosphate and carbamate insecticide exposure. Parental home surveys were performed and acetylcholinesterase activity was measured in...

Computer Graphics (CG) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have rapidly improved in recent years. It enabled us to develop some useful systems such as air hockey, catch ball, tennis and horseback riding for sports field, surgical simulations and support systems for medical field, calligraphy and flower arrangement for educational field. The good training systems have force feedback for users ...

Rudimentary horn is one of the rarest congenital uterine anomalies and consists of a relatively normal appearing uterus on one side with a rudimentary horn on the other side. It is difficult to diagnose before surgery and hazardous to maternal life as rupture of pregnant horn result in severe hemoperitoneum. Case of rudimentary horn pregnancy is reported in a lady with history of habitual abort...

The ared horn is modeled assuming that Webster's horn equation is satis ed. Any shape can be assumed for the wavefront within the horn. This paper presents a technique for solving Webster's horn equation as follows: The equation is converted to the form of the Schrodinger wave equation used for one-dimensional particle scattering. The horn characteristics can then be obtained directly in terms...

A rectangular pyramidal horn antenna fabricated with tapered dielectric E-plane boundary walls whose inner surface is periodically loaded with thin conducting strips is investigated. For better impedance matching, at the throat region of the horn antenna, 3 cm portion is metallised. The radiation characteristics of this horn antenna are compared with that of an identical conventional horn anten...

We present a new formalism, Horn Disjunctive Linear Relations (Horn DLRs), for reasoning about temporal constraints. We prove that deciding satissabil-ity of sets of Horn DLRs is polynomial by exhibiting an algorithm based upon linear programming. Furthermore , we prove that most other approaches to tractable temporal constraint reasoning can be encoded as Horn DLRs, including the ORD-Horn alge...

A screen for mutations affecting flower formation was carried out and several filamentous flower (fil) alleles were identified. In fil mutants, floral primordia occasionally give rise to pedicels lacking flowers at their ends. This defect is dramatically enhanced in fil rev double mutants, in which every floral primordium produces a flowerless pedicel. These data suggest that the FIL and REV ge...

We searched for bioactive substances involved in flower bud formation of Arabidopsis thaliana. some significantly decreasing HPLC peaks were detected in the extract of flower buds-forming A. thaliana compared with that of the non-flower bud-forming stage. Compound 1, which corresponded to the most decreased HPLC peak, was isolated from aerial parts of A. thaliana. From NmR and ms data, compound...
