this paper presents analytical solutions and simulations for pressure transient behavior of the partially penetrating wells (ppws). the newman’s product method was adopted to develop the basic instantaneous source functions which characterize the response of ppws. these results were obtained based on the solution of fully penetrating wells (fpws) and they were presented in laplace domain. furth...

It is generally believed that penetrating behavior is associated with worse surgical outcomes in Crohn disease (CD). We hypothesized that intra-abdominal sepsis (IAS), but not penetrating behavior itself, contributes to postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing bowel resection for CD.Patients who underwent surgery from April 2010 to April 2014 were retrospectively identified from a prospec...

Objective: One of the most frequent causes of death and acquired disability in the pediatric population is the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). TBI is secondary to falls, road traffic and vehicle collisions, child abuse and assaults. Penetrating brain injury is a severe form of traumatic brain injury. Blunt head injury is more frequent than TBI in children, but the second one carries a poor progno...

conclusions anesthetic and surgical management was difficult due to the inability to position in supine and rapidly progressing hemorrhagic shock. surgical management for extraction of this iron bar and intensive monitoring and resuscitation resulted in an uneventful successful outcome. introduction penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries are potentially life threatening due to the associated hem...

BACKGROUND The course of the infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve (IPBSN) in relation to the Sartorius muscle has been classified into presartorial, transsartorial and retrosartorial types. Mechanical compression of the IPBSN within the Sartorius tendon has been surgically recognised as a cause of entrapment neuropathy. Purpose of the present study was to differentiate the IPBSNs penetrating...

trauma continues to be the most frequent cause of death in the first four decades of life that is a main public health problem in some countries. we perform an epidemiological study of penetrating abdominal trauma (pat). we describe epidemiological of patients in pat. in a cross-sectional study we evaluated epidemiological pat admitted to emergency department in six general hospitals in tehran....

purpose: to report a case of recurrent keratoconus after penetrating keratoplasty (pk). patient and findings: a 31-year-old male patient who had undergone pk in his right eye for keratoconus 10 years ago presented with gradually decreased vision in the right eye. clinical, topographic, and histopathologic features of the cornea including irregular myopic astigmatism, central and paracentral cor...

Cell-penetrating peptides provide a highly promising strategy for intracellular drug delivery. One relevant clinical application of cell-penetrating peptides is cancer therapeutics. Peptide based delivery could increase the uptake of drugs in tumor cells and thereby increase the efficacy of the treatment, either of conventional small molecular drugs or oligonucleotide based therapeutics. This r...

Penetrating craniocerebral trauma is an injury in which a projectile violates the skull but does not exit. The significance of penetrating injuries to the head depends largely on the circumstances of the injury, the velocity of impact, and attributes of the projectile. While most penetrating head injuries are caused by firearms, lower-velocity mechanisms of penetrating brain injury present uniq...
