INTRODUCTION Injuries of the diaphragm were first described in 1541 by Sennertus and the initial repair was performed by Riolfi in 1886. Posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia in adults is usually caused by blunt trauma and may remain asymptomatic and undiagnosed for many years. Right-sided tears are significantly less likely than left-sided tears because of the protective effect of the liver. They...

OBJECTIVES To compares the effectiveness and impact of high inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) versus low IMA ligation on 5-year survival, lymph node yield rates, and peri-operative morbidity and mortality.  METHODS The databases of Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), the Web of Science, EBSCO and MEDLINE were searched using MeSH terms 'colorectal cancer', 'inferior mesenteric arte...

BACKGROUND One cause of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax includes overlooking bullae during a previous surgery for pneumothorax; and the identification of the culprit lesions is necessary for prevention of recurrence. CASE PRESENTATION A 28-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of spontaneous right-sided pneumothorax. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, which did ...

the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the use of polypropylene mesh and glycerol preserved bovine pericardium (gbp) to repaire abdominal wall defects in 24 clinically healthy mongrel dogs using inlay and underlay techniques. twenty four healthy mongrel dogs were used in this study. the animals were divided into two main groups according to the type of the prosthetic material used. each ...

A retrospective study aimed to analyze our experience in 46 patients with blunt traumatic diaphragmatic rupture (BTDR) admitted to our tertiary hospital from 1995 to 2007. Charts, chest roentgenograms (CXR), and computed tomography (CT) scans were carefully reviewed. The mean age was 36.5+/-10.1 years, 36 (78.3%) were males. The etiology was a traffic accident in 36 (78.3%) patients. BTDR was l...

Purpose A three-dimensional (3D) printed custom-fit respirator mask has been proposed as a promising solution to alleviate mask-related injuries and supply shortages during COVID-19. However, creating computer-aided design (CAD) model for each is currently manual process thereby not scalable pandemic crisis. This paper aims develop novel reduce overall cost time, thus enabling the mass customis...

BACKGROUND Post pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula represents the most serious complication in thoracic surgery. Delayed fistula following tri modality treatment for mesothelioma is a serious problem regarding diagnosis and treatment. Surgical repair of the bronchial stump through a lateral thoracotomy is a dangerous attempt due to mediastinal fibrothorax and the risk of pulmonary artery stum...

A one-sided ideal of a ring has the insertion of factors property (or simply, IFP) if implies r for . We say a one-sided ideal of has the weakly IFP if for each , implies , for some non-negative integer . We give some examples of ideals which have the weakly IFP but have not the IFP. Connections between ideals of which have the IFP and related ideals of some ring extensions a...
