PURPOSE OF REVIEW Several advances have been made in recent years to improve outcome for patients with coronary artery disease. One of the most debated topics regarding surgical treatment with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is graft selection. This review aims to present the current status and scientific evidence for bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting. RECENT FINDINGS ...

abstract background and objectives: patients are oriented towards spirituality after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). the aim of this study was to explore the patients’ spiritual experiences after cabg. methods: this qualitative study was conducted using hermeneutic phenomenology. 11 participants (7 males and 4 females) were interviewed in tehran heart center hospital in 2013 using maxim...

A unicameral bone cyst (UBC) may require surgery if its location increases the risk for pathologic fracture, or if it is painful or increasing in size. This case series demonstrates that curettage and grafting with a bone graft substitute alone can result in healing of the UBC. Three children with UBC and pathological fractures were treated with curettage and grafting using bone graft substitut...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate the efficacy and safety of single-stage posterior debridement bone grafting for treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis with kyphotic deformity (LSTKD). Methods: From June 2010 to June 2013, 48 patients were enrolled in this study. Total 27 and 21 patients underwent single-stage posterior and anterior instrumentation and fusion respectively, co...

Background: Commercial cultivation of bitter gourd is affected by biotic stresses like mosaic disease, fusarium wilt and root-knot nematode as well abiotic stress drought. Grafting with resistant rootstocks can be a tool to control these problems. In vegetable production, grafting exploited commercially in many parts the world. The cultivated area grafted solanaceae cucubitaceae plants has incr...

In this study, to reproduce natural chestnut genotypes, the fruit characteristics of Düzce region determined by local people are good in a healthy way, compatible with Marigoule (C. sativa × C. crenata) hybrid varieties resistant branch cancer and root rot was investigated. 24 different genotypes were used. As grafting method, most commonly used tongue grafting, split chip budding side method A...

The aim of this study was to describe the scheme, surgical procedures, and clinical outcomes for the early repair of deep wounds of the posterior talocrural region in extensively burned patients with a method combining a superficial temporal fascia free flap with thin split-skin grafting. From January 2013 to February 2016, 9 extensively burned patients with deep tissue defects of the posterior...

By measuring the changes in phytohormones and related enzyme activities of Malus ‘Huabiao’ scions different rootstocks during healing process grafting, this study aims to analyze effects on physiological metabolism grafting site, thereby providing reference for selection M. rootstocks. The live seedlings 1-0 hupehensis, robusta baccata were chosen as rootstocks, grafted with these spring by pas...

Graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto nonwoven polypropylene (PP) fabric was carried out by a preirradiation method using a Co gamma radiation source. Results showed that 2.2'-Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), its concentration was 0.2%, was very important during the grafting polymerization without removal of polymerization inhibitor of AA. The most favorable grafting polymerization conditions...

We report the histological findings of a reconstructed calcar region four years after femoral impaction bone grafting using metal wire mesh for a case with massive defect of the proximal part of the femur. Thin cortical bone was formed just beneath the metal wire mesh and viable trabecular bone containing a small amount of granulation tissue was observed even at the bone-cement interface. Almos...
