Still's murmur is the most common innocent heart murmur in children and considered flow related; however, so far the cause of the murmur has not yet been fully explained. Assessment of the hemodynamic ventriculo-arterial interaction and the proportional anatomical dimensions of the left ventricle and the aortic root were the objective for this study. This case-control study was conducted at the...

background: we undertook this study to investigate the variation relationship of sperm associated antigen 11 (spag11) mrna expression and spag11e protein in the epididymis and spermatozoa of experimental left varicocele (elv) rats. these findings could contribute to the understanding of the role of epididymal proteins in sperm functions and the mechanism of male infertility induced by varicocel...

BACKGROUND Recruitment maneuvers (RM) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) are the cornerstone of the open lung strategy during ventilation, particularly during acute lung injury (ALI). However, these interventions may impact the pulmonary circulation and induce hemodynamic and respiratory effects, which in turn may be critical in case of pulmonary hypertension (PHT). We aimed to establi...

Abstract: We consider a finite-buffer single server queue with single (multiple) vacation(s) under batch Markovian Arrival Process (BMAP). The service discipline is varying number limited service, also called E-limited with limit variation (ELV) where the server serves until either the system is emptied or a randomly chosen limit of l customers have been served. Queue length distributions at va...

To the Editor: Barnett et al.1 are to be thanked and congratulated for their attempted synthesis of efforts to quantify patient satisfaction with anesthesia care. The authors did not include the Surgical Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems® (CAHPS) in their assessment, which deserves discussion.2 Surgical CAHPS is the newest member of the CAHPS family and is the only tool me...

Subject review End-of-life vehicle (ELV) waste flow is an important environmental concern, because of its rapidly increasing amount and special composition of hazardous substances. Its recycling is a matter of country’s attitude towards supporting the environment preservation and it has emerged as a novel area of scientific research. In this paper, we presented a holistic view of the environmen...

Korea was legally set to car recycling rate to 95% from 2015. Also EU has enacted the law for car recycling. Accordingly, the monitoring system that stores and manages the data generated by the End of Life Vehicle (ELV) are needed. The parts information of the ELV is quite a lot, the information contained sub-components are very many. When building a monitoring system database on an RDBMS, ther...
