Pilonidal disease typically presents with an abscess or intermittent pain and drainage in the sacrococcygeal region during the pubertal years. Further examination typically reveals pits in the midline of the sacrococcyx area due to entrapment of hair with recurrent entrapment, infection, and drainage. The following paper describes an unusual presentation of a pilonidal cyst with fissure and per...

Abstract The pore air pressure of the soil layer has an obstructive effect on infiltration rainfall-induced landslide. Therefore, hydraulic hysteresis caused by entrapment in process slope also reduces anti-sliding force slope. A method considered closed gas particles’ pores is developed to study time-delay and stability during rainfall. Green–Ampt model used obtain explicit analytical solution...

A 54-year-old man presented with nonprogressive dysarthria due to isolated right hypoglossal nerve (HN) palsy. The cranial MRI reveals an ectatic right vertebral artery impinging on the cisternal segment of HN (figure). The hypoglossal-vertebral entrapment syndrome1 occurs as the hypoglossal rootlets converge directly over the distorted vessel with resultant mechanical compression and direct ne...

the use of bacteriocins, mainly nisin, is one of the most significant preservation technologies in the food industry. nisin encapsulation can improve stability and homogenous distribution in food matrices. in this study, liposomes of four various lipids (lipoid s 100, lipoid s pc-3, lipoid s pc, and lipoid pc (dppc)) were prepared by dehydration-rehydration method, and compared for entrapment e...
