introduction: treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) is centered on early recognition and curative surgery with either restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch-anal-anastomosis (ipaa) or colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (ira). in this study we describe the presentation, treatment, and complications of 27 fap patients. method: all patients diagnosed with fap at our center fro...

A passive false twist unit (spiral) has been developed to assist with the handling lowstrength slivers on a high speed-spinning machine with a high-speed feed. In the first trial, a falsetwist simulator device was constructed to determine whether the passive false twist unit can be usedon high speed feeding with different can distance from the feeding device. In the second trial, theeffects of ...
