background: the presence of significant carotid stenosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) patients increases the risk of either transient ischemic attack or stroke. however, there is a dearth of data on the risk for patients with unilateral total occlusion of the carotid artery. we herein report our results of cardiac surgery in patients with unilateral total occlusion of the carotid a...

objective: to compare the outcome of patients with up to 60% total body surface area (tbsa) thermal burns undergoing ultra-early and early excision and grafting. methods: this historical cohort study was performed in two referral burn centers of shiraz during a 1-year period from 2015 to 2016. we included those patients with thermal burns up to 60% tbsa who underwent ultra-early (48-72 hours) a...

grafting polymerization was a valuable method for the modification of the chemical and physical properties of polymer surfaces. in this paper, the grafting of cationic vinyl monomer with quaternary ammonium groups, methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (dmc), onto the isotactic polypropylene (ipp) granule was performed by suspension solid-state grafting process. the technique offers new ...

I am afraid of fire because of the sadistic ringmaster at the circus always whipping me with a fire whip. I also trust those who have been nice to me, such as all of the group I travel with. I trust Zuko after he frees me from captivity. I can become quite temperamental towards anyone who I think is a threat to myself or my friends, especially Aang. Conversely, I have demonstrated an unrestrain...

one or only a few more species of parasites. Moreover, some of the effec ive remedies such as oil of chenopodium, carbon tetrachloride etc have only limited use owing to various contraindications. Thus an ideal anthelmintic with a broad sphere of action, safe and non-toxic, well-tolerated and preferably cheap is yet to be found out. The oil extracted from the shell of cashewnut (Anacardium occi...

We describe a method for tying a self-locking knot to apply tension to a free tendon end for hamstring graft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This is faster, safer and easier than Whip stitching and is secure enough to feed the graft through bone tunnels. The suture is folded and the tendon is laid on top (Fig 1a). The suture ends are then fed over the tendon and through the loop (Fig...

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (thumb.) Matsum and Nakai] cv. Charleston gray was grafted onto three rootstocks: Cucurbita pepo, Lagenaria siceraria and (Cucurbita maxima x C. moshata). The non grafted watermelon plant was used as control. In this experiment efficiency of two kinds of grafting methods: Tube grafting and Hole insertion grafting and it was found that, Hole insertion grafting gave ...
