Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as particularly their high melting point and their rigidity and strength at high temperatures. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexametaph...

In our series, all patients had quick good-quality remissionwith amedianprogression-free survival of 6months. The rapidity of the response supports the role of vinblastine instead of spontaneous regression in these patientswithmultifocal lesions and a long-term history of refractory disease. In our series, no patient had to discontinue use of the drug because of infection or severe toxic effect...

Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) have increased in frequency throughout the world. In addition to an increase in frequency, recent CDI epidemics have been linked to a hypervirulent C. difficile strain resulting in greater severity of disease. Although most mild to moderate cases of CDI continue to respond to metronidazole or vancomycin, refractory and recurrent cases of CDI may require al...

Stimulation of the bag cell neurons of Aplysia activates several biochemical pathways, including protein kinase C (PKC), and alters their excitability for many hours. After an approximately 30 min afterdischarge, these neurons enter an approximately 18 hr inhibited state during which additional stimulation fails to evoke discharges. In vivo, this refractory period limits the frequency of reprod...

Long-term survival of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a major problem, particularly in patients not eligible for transplantation.We hereby evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of adding Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin to salvage chemotherapy (Ara-C, Idarubicine, Peg-Filgrastim) in relapsed/refractory AML. The main endpoints were: the rate of complete remissions (CR) and the pro...

Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common type of gastrointestinal atresia. The most common variant (type C) consists of a blind esophageal pouch with a fistula between the trachea and the distal esophagus. Surgical repair can be complicated by the development of benign stricture. Most strictures are amenable to dilation, but refractory strictures may require surgical intervention. A 24-month-...

Epilepsy surgery is indicated in select patients with medically refractory focal epilepsy. Seizure freedom or significant reduction of seizure burden without risking new neurological deficits is the expected goal of epilepsy surgery. Typically, when the seizure onset zone overlaps with eloquent cortex, patients are excluded from the surgery. We present a patient with medically refractory fronta...

Abstract Objective The NUDT15 variants impact thiopurine dose selection in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. ability to rapidly detect is important clinical practice. This study aims develop a simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure for detecting Vietnamese Materials and Methods Sanger sequencing was used determine from 200 We designed primers optimized the PCR detection of wild-t...
