Les hémangiomes de l'intestin grêle (HG) sont des tumeurs bénignes et rares du tube digestif, parfois responsables d'hémorragie digestive. Le diagnostic positif de ces lésions est souvent difficile mais rendu plus aisé grâce à l’avènement de la vidéo capsule endoscopique (VCE) , le traitement est essentiellement chirurgical. Nous rapportons une nouvelle observation d'un hémangiome caverneux du ...

Following the approach recently proposed by Lin, Che, and Xia [Phys. Rev. A 46, 1805 (1992)], we calculate the critical temperature T, for Ising films with lattice structures other than simple cubic by means of the variational cumulant expansion (VCE) of the free energy of the spin system. The critical temperature is derived in terms of the ratio of two successive cumulants to an arbitrary orde...

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is now a clinically accepted diagnostic modality in which miniaturized technology, an on-board power supply and wireless telemetry stand as technological foundations for other capsule endoscopy (CE) devices. However, VCE does not provide therapeutic functionality, and research towards therapeutic CE (TCE) has been limited. In this paper, a route towards viable TCE ...

A novel approach for medium power IPMs is presented combining 600V and 1200V IGBT/FWD-inverter modules based on spring contact technology with advanced silicon on insulator (SOI) gate driver ICs with fully integrated VCE-monitoring and negative turn-off gate voltage in a reliable cost effective package with excellent thermal conductivity. For the VCE-monitoring of short circuit events the HV-di...

Background and Aim Overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OOGIB) is defined as continued with unknown source despite esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) colonoscopy evaluation. Small bowel evaluation through video capsule endoscopy (VCE) or double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) often warranted. We studied the timing of DBE in hospitalized OOGIB patients regarding diagnostic yield, therapeutic GI rebl...

Aims: The study evaluated the use of refractance window dried passion fruit powder as a flavoring for yogurt.
 Place and Duration Study: Department Food Technology Nutrition, Makerere University, Kampala-Uganda between October 2020 January 2021.
 Methodology: Passion pulp was mixed in carboxymethyl cellulose using laboratory drier.
 Plain yogurt flavored with 2% powder. flavored,...

We report herein the case of a 58-yearold-woman who was admitted for hematochezia with acute anemia (hemoglobin 9g/dL). She had a history of small-bowel adenocarcinoma (T3N0M0) complicating celiac disease; this had been treated by a Whipple procedure 12 years previously, with complete remission since then. She was taking anticoagulants following mitral valve replacement with a mechanical valve,...

The use of state-of-the-art real-time techniques in industry remains infrequent. The reason for this, we believe, is three-fold: (1) the lack of commercially available tools, (2) the lack of methodologies based on real-time theory throughout the complete development process, and (3) the lack of competence in real-time theory among industrial practitioners. In this paper we present a case study ...

Safety issues arising from a hydrogen explosion accident in Korea are discussed herein. In order to increase the safety of refueling stations (HRSs), Gas Corporation (KGS) decided install damage-mitigation wall, also referred as barrier, around storage tanks at HRSs after evaluating consequences hypothetical accidents based on characteristics each HRS. To propose new regulation related barrier ...

Stem cells with potential to contribute to the re-establishment of the normal bronchiolar epithelium have not been definitively demonstrated. We previously established that neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) sequester regenerative cells that contribute to bronchiolar regeneration after selective chemical depletion of Clara cells, a major progenitor cell population. Two candidate stem cells were iden...
