We describe a pediatric patient with histiocytic sarcoma involving the T6 and L4 vertebral bodies and the lungs. His tumor progressed during chemotherapy designed for Langerhans' cell histiocytosis and sarcoma. High-dose radiation, on the other hand, was effective.

We present a first quantized treatment of the back-reaction on an accelerated particle detector. The evaluated transition amplitude for detection agrees with previously obtained results. e-mail: [email protected] 1

Quenching affects the mechanical and corrosion properties of precipitation-hardenable alloys such as aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (AA7075-T6). In this paper, as-quenched AA7075-T6 are predicted within framework quench factor analysis (QFA), using cooling curves obtained from a test. Theoretical computational approaches used to predict spatial temporal variations temperature. The temperature consequen...

OBJECTIVES Enzymatic pancreatic injury (EPI) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treatment has been scarcely studied in the literature. Aim of this work was to compare perioperative EPI in AAA patients treated by endovascular repair (EVAR) or open repair (OR). METHODS Forty AAA patients consecutively treated with either EVAR (GI, 20 pts) or OR (GII, 20 pts) were prospectively evaluated in term...

BACKGROUND Depressive episodes in elderly patients with cerebrovascular damage are characterized by poor responses to standard antidepressants. Recent reports have suggested that the atypical antipsychotic, quetiapine may have antidepressant properties and, in mice, may prevents memory impairment and hippocampus neurodegeneration induced by global cerebral ischemia. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in bispectral index (BIS) to determine the controllability and safety of intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in different-aged children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty cases of ASA levels I or II were divided into four groups (A group, ≤ three months old; B group, three months to two years old; C group, two years to six years old; and D group...

Herniated thoracic intervertebral disk causing spinal cord compression with paraparesis is uncommon in adults and rare in children. This article describes a case of pediatric thoracic disk herniation with paraparesis treated surgically.A 14-year-old girl presented with a 4-month history of diffuse back pain and sudden onset paraparesis. Motor strength was 4/5 in both legs, and she had lost the ...
