With current stent technology and potent antiplatelet drugs, the results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasingly predictable. Kiemeneij and colleagues first described PCI as a daycase procedure done via the radial artery, though nearly 50% of these patients were considered unsuitable for same day discharge postprocedure. Subsequently, Koch and colleagues performed PCI on > ...

introduction: acute rejection of renal transplant is a serious and common systemic inflammatory disorder which leads to decreasing half-life of transplant organ. current diagnoses method is an invasive biopsy procedure on allogtraft kidney. therefore, applying a novel and noninvasive diagnostic method such as granzym b level in acute renal transplantation could help patients and improves surviv...

Potential Day Surgery Episode (PDSE) was defined as the hospital episode with a surgical procedure (ICD-9-CM), programmed admission and home discharge. To be considered as PDSE, the selected procedure must appear in at least 50 day-surgery cases and be developed in at least 5 hospitals. The study database included: MB...

Fenton’s or modified Fenton’s procedure is performed to widen the introitus in women with superficial dyspareunia secondary to scarring. The narrowing of introitus could be due to scarring secondary to perineal tears during childbirth or from conditions such as lichen sclerosus or vestibulitis. Though Fenton’s procedure is more familiar with day to day gynaecological practice, very few papers w...

High quality graphene films can be fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using Ni and Cu as catalytic substrates. Such a synthesis procedure always requires a subsequent transfer process to be performed in order to eliminate the metallic substrate and transfer the graphene onto the desired surface. We show here that such a transfer process causes significant contamination of the graphen...

Several studies have shown that the isolated retrieval of a consolidated fear memory can induce a labile phase, during which extinction training can prevent the reinstatement, a form of relapse in which fear response to a fear-provoking context returns when a mild shock is presented. However, fear memory retrieval may also have another opposing result: the enhancement of fear memory. This impli...
