mass on coronary dimensions in living patients with normal coronary vessels. Methods and Results. Arteriographically normal coronary angiograms were analyzed from the following groups of subjects: group 1 (age, 15-34 years) consisted of30 post-cardiac transplant patients with donor hearts from male subjects aged 15-34 years, group 2 (age, 35-54 years) consisted of 12 post-cardiac transplant pat...

Open Access I read with great interest the paper by Tyberg et al. 1 entitled, " Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Directed Transgastric Endo-scopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography or EUS: Mid-Term Analysis of an Emerging Procedure, " published in this issue of Clinical Endoscopy. The authors reported results of what appears to be an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the EUS-directed transg...

The characteristics of renal tubular progenitor/precursor cells and the role of renal tubule regeneration in the repair of remnant kidneys (RKs) after nephrectomy are not well known. In the present study of a murine model of subtotal nephrectomy, we used immunofluorescence (IF), immunoblot analysis, and in situ hybridization methods to demonstrate that nestin expression was transiently upregula...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to answer the following two questions: 1) Do the radiological parameters of dysplasia have significant correlations between themselves or with the parameters of the proximal femoral deformity and vice versa? 2) Do the physical parameters have a significant correlation with the radiological parameters of hip dysplasia and proximal femoral deformity? METHODS...

The clinical effect of feldspar ceramics and lithium disilicate reinforced glass was studied. 57 affected teeth with complete root canal treatment computer aided design/computer manufacturing (CAD/CAM) endocrown restoration were reviewed 24-36 months aftercompletion the restoration. These dimensions including anatomical morphology, proximal contact , color matching, edge integrity, coloring, se...

Let G be a (p,q) graph. An injective map f : E(G) → {±1,±2,...,±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling if the induced vertex function f*: V (G) → Z - {0} defined by f*(v) = ΣP∈Ev f (e) is one-one where Ev denotes the set of edges in G that are incident with a vertex v and f*(V (G)) is either of the form {±k1,±k2,...,±kp/2} or {±k1,±k2,...,±k(p-1)/2} U {±k(p+1)/2} according as p is even or o...

In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the relationship between geographical miss (GM) and edge restenosis (ERS) following intracoronary radiation therapy. BACKGROUND Edge restenosis may be a limitation of intracoronary irradiation to prevent in-stent restenosis (ISR). Inadequate radiation source coverage of the injured segment (GM) has been proposed as a cause of ERS. We studied the relationship ...
