In this paper, we study the theory of pseudo knots, which are knots with some missing crossing information, and introduce tied links knotoids. particular, first present a braiding algorithm for then L-moves in that setting, use formulate sharpened version analogue Markov theorem braids. Then, links, generalize notion exploit relation between singular links. We an L-move braid equivalence monoid...

introduction computed tomography scans are a very important tool for diagnosis and assessment of response to treatment in the practice of medicine. ionizing radiation in medical imaging is undoubtedly one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine. yet, as with all medical interventions, there are potential risks in addition to the clear potential benefits. materials and methods two refe...

introduction:  the  advent  of  dual-modality  pet/ct  scanners  has  revolutionized  clinical  oncology  by  improving lesion localization and facilitating treatment planning for radiotherapy. in addition, the use of  ct images for ct-based attenuation correction (ctac) decreases the overall scanning time and creates  a noise-free  attenuation  map  (6map).  ctac  methods  include  scaling,  s...

BACKGROUND Plaque shifting is a serious complication of endovascular treatment (EVT) for aortoiliac bifurcation lesions. It is challenging to predict the occurrence of unfavorable plaque shifting correctly. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an 88-year-old Japanese woman who experienced constant pain at rest in her left leg. The ankle-brachial pressure index of her left leg was 0.57. Com...

Helicobacter suis (H. suis) is a widespread porcine gastric pathogen, which is also of zoonotic importance. The first goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of several vaccine adjuvants (CpG-DNA, Curdlan, Freund's Complete and Incomplete, Cholera toxin), administered either subcutaneously or intranasally along with H. suis whole-cell lysate, to protect against subsequent H. suis cha...

Pseudo-Pseudo-Myocardial Infarction To the Editor: Hung and colleagues1 present a very important example of a pseudo-infarction pattern presumably related to pancreatitis, one of several clinical situations in which thrombolytic therapy is either not indicated or contraindicated. I am intrigued by the pattern of the bizarre T waves in the limb leads and wonder if part or all of this phenomenon ...

Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm, though rare, is a notable cause of upper GI bleed. Here, we report an unusual presentation gastrointestinal haemorrhage due to cystic pseudoaneurysm secondary acute cholecystitis in 54-year-old male. Initial imaging revealed cholelithiasis with evidence cholecystitis. Further investigations Doppler ultrasound and CT suggested hyperdense contents the gall bladder su...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Pseudoaneurysms of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) are rare and mostly associated with pancreatitis. However, they can occur as a possible complication following gastric or pancreatic surgery and thus prior recognition and prompt treatment is mandatory (Lee et al., 2009 [1]). We report a case of a ruptured GDA aneurysm in a patient who underwent roux-en-y-cystojejunostomy for...
