INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic duodenal atresia repair is an advanced procedure performed in select pediatric surgical centers. Recently, sub-6mm endosurgical staplers have been introduced, facilitating and accelerating the creation of intracorporeal intestinal anastomoses. PRESENTATION OF CASE We performed a laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy in a one-day-old child with duodenal atresia due to annul...

Shell, head, nozzle, dan penyangga bejana tekan berdasarkan hasil perhitungan manual banyak digunakan di pabrik petrokimia, energi (pembangkit listrik), minyak gas (pabrik gas), sektor industri sebagai utuh. Analisis ini bertujuan untuk memahami kode-kode yang dalam desain vertikal sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan lapangan. Tujuan, nilai estetika, lingkungan kerja semuanya harus dipertimbangkan saat...

The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for periodontal disease progression by individual characteristics at baseline among elderly people over a 2-year period. Subjects were selected from 4542 people aged 70years residing in Niigata who were in good general health and who did not require special care for their daily activities. Gender, smoking and alcohol drinking habits were ob...

Computer tomographic colonography, combined with computer-aided detection, is a promising emerging technique for colonic polyp analysis. We present a complete pipeline for polyp flagging based on a simple segmentation technique that enhances polyps, a multi-scale candidate polyp delineation, and new texture and geometric features that consider both the information in the candidate polyp locatio...

Xanthine oxidase is a member of molybdoenzyme family and has catalytic role in purine degradation, metabolizing hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid with the generation of superoxides. In the present study, microtitre plate based colorimetric assay was used to screen the xanthine oxidase producing microorganisms from the soil treated with hypoxanthine with different concentrations (2mM, 4mM, ...

Scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) was first presented by R. H. Webb (R. H. Webb, et al, 1987) in 1987, which is the same as a scanning laser microscope except that human eye is used as the objective lens and retina is usually the sample being imaged. With its high contrast real-time imaging and axial sectioning capability, SLO has many advantages and applications in retina imaging (Austin. Ro...

McCarthy에 의해 하악골의 길이 신장을 위한 골신장술 (Distraction Osteogenesis)이 사용된 이후, 반안면왜소증 (hemifacial microsomia)등 하악골뿐 아니라, 상악골을 포 함한 중안면골의 전진, 임플란트 식립을 위한 치조골 증강 술, transport distraction을 이용한 악골의 재건 등 다양 한 방면에서 골신장술이 응용되어 왔다. 구순구개열과 동반된 상악골의 열성장은 구순구개열 환자 의 22�27%에서 수술을 통한 상악골의 전방이동이 필요하 다고 보고되어 왔다. 악교정수술을 통한 상악골의 전 진술이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 상악의 반흔으로 인해 6mm 이상의 상악골 전진은 한계를 가지는 것으로 여겨 진다. 이러한 한계점으로 인해 전치부의 반대교합을 해소할...

PURPOSE To investigate the hemodynamic and ventilatory changes associated with the creation of an experimental bronchopleural fistula (BPF) treated by mechanical ventilation and thoracic drainage with or without a water seal. METHODS Six large white pigs weighing 25 kg each which, after general anesthesia, underwent endotracheal intubation (6mm), and mechanically ventilation. Through a left t...

Computer tomographic colonography, combined with computer-aided detection, is a promising emerging technique for colonic polyp analysis. We present a complete pipeline for polyp detection, starting with a simple colon segmentation technique that enhances polyps, followed by an adaptive-scale candidate polyp delineation and classification based on new texture and geometric features that consider...
