background hypervariability of hcv proteins is an important obstacle to design an efficient vaccine for hcv infection. multi-epitope vaccines containing conserved epitopes of the virus could be a promising approach for protection against hcv. objectives cellular and humoral immune responses against multi-epitope dna and peptide vaccines were evaluated in balb/c mice. materials and methods in th...

In a series of 2,175 patients delivered by caesarean section a dehiscence of the abdominal wound occurred in 50. Wound dehiscence was eight times more common with a vertical incision than with a low transverse incision of the abdominal wall; with the vertical incision the incidence of partial and complete dehisence was 2.94% and with the low transverse incision no complete dehiscence occurred a...

Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) is compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) by reviewing nonrandomized, matched, and randomized studies. These studies indicate that incision of the prostate and bladder neck relieves outflow urinary obstruction, as does TURP. The incision is relatively easier to learn and perform, and requires shorter operative time compared to TU...

‎this article presents a systematic study for structure of finite wavelet frames‎ ‎over prime fields‎. ‎let $p$ be a positive prime integer and $mathbb{w}_p$‎ ‎be the finite wavelet group over the prime field $mathbb{z}_p$‎. ‎we study theoretical frame aspects of finite wavelet systems generated by‎ ‎subgroups of the finite wavelet group $mathbb{w}_p$.

INTRODUCTION Although natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery promises truly scarless surgery, this has not progressed beyond the experimental setting and a few clinical cases in the field of ventral hernia repair. This is mainly because of the problem of sterilizing natural orifices, which prevents the use of any prosthetic material because of unacceptable risks of infection. Single-in...

Methods 61 patients undergoing valve surgery were managed with V-atriotomy incision because of inadequate exposure of the mitral valve and subvalvular apparatus. 37 patients were male (60.7%) and 24 patients were female (39,3%) with a mean age of 64.7±10,2. Standart left atriotomy incision was made primarily and in cases of bad exposure, caval snares were tightened for total perfusion. Right at...

Purpose. To compare the surgically induced astigmatism from clear corneal and square posterior limbal incisions at the time of cataract surgery. Methods. Surgically induced astigmatism was calculated for a set of eyes after cataract surgery using a temporal 2.2 mm square posterior limbal incision. Results were compared to similar available data from surgeons using clear corneal incisions of sim...

We introduce the notion of ideal, prime ideal, lter, fuzzy ideal, fuzzy prime ideal, fuzzy lter of ordered $Gamma$-semiring and study their properties and relations between them. We characterize the prime ideals and lters of ordered $Gamma$-semiring with respect to fuzzy ideals and fuzzy l- ters respectively.

PURPOSE The right hemicolectomy may be conducted through laparoscopic or laparotomic surgery, transverse or midline incisions. The transverse laparotomy offers some advantages compared to the midline laparotomy and laparoscopy. A literature review was performed to evaluate the possible advantages of the transverse incision versus midline incision or laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. METHODS A...

BACKGROUND The pathogenic role of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the incisional pain is poorly understood. The present study explores the role of the BDNF in the incision-induced pain hypersensitivity. METHODS A longitudinal incision was made in one plantar hind paw of isoflurane-anesthetized rats. Dorsal root ganglias (DRG) and spinal cords were removed at various postoperative ...
