Complete esophageal obstruction is a rare complication of endoscopic variceal banding, with only 6 cases in the English literature since the introduction of endoscopic variceal banding in 1986. We report a case of complete esophageal obstruction following esophageal banding due to entrapment of part of a sliding hiatal hernia. To our knowledge, our case is one of few with esophageal obstruction...

Hemorrhoidal banding is an office procedure for the treatment of grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids. It has been shown to be a safe and relatively effective way to treat minimally symptomatic hemorrhoids without a formal operation. Risks associated with hemorrhoidal banding have been well described and range from bleeding, urinary retention, recurrence and, rarely, sepsis or death. The overall r...

We obtained banding and recovery data from the B ird Banding Laboratory (operated by the B iological Resources Division of the US Geological Survey) for adults from 129 avian species that had been continuously banded for > 24 years. Data were partitioned by gender, banding period (winter versus summer), and by states /provinces. Data sets were initially screened for adequacy based on speci® c c...

The revision of main and alternative banding sequences in chromosome I (AB) have been made for all 14 species of the Chironomus plumosus (Linnaeus, 1758) group. New version of mapping had been suggested for 14 out of 22 banding sequences of arm A. Mapping of 18 banding sequences in arm B have been made for the first time according to Maximova-Shobanov system. Phylogenetic relationships of the b...

The fourth case of spontaneous closure of a ventricular septal defect in a patient having prior pulmonary artery banding is reported. Statistics to date indicate that yenfricular septal defects in patients who require banding may close with lesser frequency than those for which banding is not required. The apparent lower incidence of spontaneous closure of these defects should not Influence the...

In this study, a detailed chromosome analysis of the endemic Cappadocian Chub, Squalius cappadocicus in Melendiz Stream (Aksaray) was performed. The standard Giemsa staining, C-banding (CBG and CB-DAPI), Ag-NOR technique were applied. diploid number 50; its karyotype formula 14M + 16Sm 10St 10A. Heteromorphic sex chromosomes weren’t detected studied specimens. all chromosomal arms (NF) 90. C-ba...

The control banding method, or "control banding", is a simplified risk assessment system for chemical handling tasks. This system is supposed to provide assessment results of reasonable quality without expert involvement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness of control banding judgment on the basis of workplace safety. A common approach for assessing workplace risk, w...
