BACKGROUND Conflicting results are reported about the contribution of maternal, obstetric and fetal characteristics to postpartum fecal incontinence (FI), which is hampering prevention and management of FI. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review identifying delivery-related etiological factors for postpartum FI. Search strategy. Literature searches of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, DocOnline and r...

A rupture of intracranial aneurysms may cause serious cerebral diseases such as cerebral stroke. Since it is hard to recover completely from stroke, finding unruptured aneurysms and medical and/or surgical treatment before rupture are efficient to patients. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), an imaging protocol using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can provide detailed section images of ce...

OBJECTIVE To measure the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) in dogs with congenital patellar luxation using magnetic resonance (MR) methods. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS Thirty-eight client-owned dogs. METHODS Thirty-eight dogs were examined and placed into the following groups based on the degree of patellar instability: normal, grade I, grade II, and grade III. MR images of ...

The costume fabric is woven on the basis of tandoor sarja braids. Such textures are superficial in body. When washing a suit sewn from surface tissue body, process using it only body coverings eroded and thinned, resulting rupture. This article presents results research improving quality, particular, increasing resistance to abrasion cotton fabrics such as cloth. It noted that depends indicator...

Abstract The major social and political shifts undergone by the south eastern Iberian Peninsula, specifically Granada, Spain, between fourteenth seventeenth centuries brought about clear changes in ceramic repertoire. This work analyzes these through comparative analysis of three archaeological sites: Castle Moclín, Palace Abencerrajes, Fortress Lanjarón. These sites present a transitional sequ...

OBJECTIVES Preterm neonates are at increased risk of sepsis compared with those born at term. We investigated immune status at birth and early neonatal life in very preterm neonates and its association with short-term outcomes. METHODS Prospective observational study conducted at a university hospital recruiting 113 preterm neonates (23-32 weeks) and 78 controls. Monocyte major histocompatibi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to establish whether individuals with a family history of >/=2 first-degree relatives with intracranial aneurysm should be offered screening for aneurysm. METHODS We derived 3 theoretical models and calculated the outcomes of screening with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) followed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) if MRA was pos...

BACKBROUND AND PURPOSE The flow diverting effect of a low-wall coverage stent remains controversial. We evaluted patients who underwent stenting for small aneurysms with a low but potential risk of growth and reviewed related literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 9 small aneurysms among 19 unruptured intracranial aneurysms from eight patients who underwent stenting. The patients had ...
