One hundred and sixty-eight cases of cervical conization were performed for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in a 32-month study. The indications for conization were unsatisfactory colposcopic finding, abnormal epithelium that extended into the endocervical canal, a microinvasive cervical cancer, and significant discrepancy among cytology, colposcopy, and/or punch biopsy histology. In t...

AIM To investigated the usefulness of a novel slim type ball-tipped FlushKnife (FlushKnife-BTS) over ball-tipped FlushKnife (FlushKnife-BT) in functional experiments and clinical practice. METHODS In order to evaluate the functionality of FlushKnife-BTS, water aspiration speed, resistance to knife insertion through the scope, and waterjet flushing speed were compared between FlushKnife-BTS an...

Introduction. The use of a complex continuous units in the construction roads will increase labour productivity, improve quality road construction. Therefore, purpose design is to create for roads, mainly automatic mode. In first stage, combination theoretical calculations parameters technology tools and developments right way achieve this goal. To remove stones, bushes, trees from right-of-way...

The operation of the knife-edge viscometer requires knowledge of the interfacial velocity profile in order to determine the viscous traction between the surface film and the knife edge and hence measure the surface shear viscosity of the film. The interfacial velocity profile can be obtained analytically in two limiting regimes. One is the limit of the surface shear viscosity going to infinity,...

The lamina terminalis was severed by a horizontal knife cut through the anterior commissure to determine the effects of a disconnection of the subfornical organ (SFO) on drinking and Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-ir) in the rat brain in response to an intragastric load of hypertonic saline (5 ml/kg of 1.5 M NaCl by gavage). After an initial load, knife-cut rats drank significantly less water t...

A 73-year-old man underwent colonoscopy for recurrent diffuse abdominal pain. Previous colonoscopy, routine laboratory tests, and a fecal occult blood test had all shown normal results. At retrograde ileoscopy, a 25-mm laterally spreading tumor, nongranular pseudodepressed type (LST-NG PD; type 0-IIa-IIc according to the Paris classification), was diagnosed 5cm proximal to the ileocecal valve (...
