Perimenopausal syndrome occurs during the transition to menopause. Complementary and alternative medicine, especially Chinese medicinal plants, has manifested significant effects in alleviating perimenopausal symptoms.

and its publication Guidelines for essential Trauma Care, has addressed the need and value of early coordinated, standardized care of the trauma patient2. Both stress the ABC’s, and primary/secondary survey. Tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, and massive hemothorax warrant an early response in the primary survey. This requires ready availability of chest tube thoracostomy, subxyphid peric...

BACKGROUND Septoplasty, tonsillectomy (with and without adenoidectomy) and cervical lymph node excision are amongst the most common 50 inpatient operations in Germany. Intracapsular tonsillectomies (i.e. tonsillotomies) are increasingly performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate technical traps and pitfalls as well as alleged medical malpractice associated with tonsillectomy (TE), adenoid...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are also generated in a normal condition in certain quantities, are generated in large quantities by ischemia or by oxygen resupply at the time of reperfusion and not reduced by the normal antioxidant systems of the body, eventually causing reperfusion injury in tissues [1]. In this study, we investigated whet...

diagnosis of bone tumors is based on careful evaluation of clinical, imaging and a pathologic findings. so the biopsy of bone and soft tissue sarcomas is the final step in evaluation and a fundamental step in the diagnosis of the lesion. it should not be performed as a shortcut to diagnosis (1). the biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate among few diagnos...

The purpose of the present study was to characterize different -adrenoceptors ( -ARs) and determine their role in the spontaneously tonic smooth muscle of the internal anal sphincter (IAS). The -AR subtypes in the opossum IAS were investigated by functional in vitro, radioligand binding, Western blot, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) studies.
