The compound CeCuAs2 is found to exhibit negative temperature (T) coefficient of electrical resistivity (ρ) under ambient pressure conditions in the entire T-range of investigation (45 mK to 300 K), even in the presence of high magnetic fields. Preliminary tunneling spectroscopic measurements indicate the existence of a psuedo-gap at least at low temperatures, thereby implying that this compoun...

INTRODUCTION Infected periprosthetic femoral fractures are among the most complex and significant complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA). We report the novel use of a temporary THA-like spacer for treating an infected periprosthetic femoral fracture after revision surgery using a long stem. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 72-year-old woman sustained a left infected periprosthetic femora...

Like other invasive procedures, percutaneous coronary interventions are associated with complications. Most common access site for these procedures is common femoral artery. Complications such as groin and retroperitoneal hematoma can be encountered as well as pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, acute arterial occlusion, and infection. When infected pseudoaneurysm occurs, surgical treatmen...

Infected urachal cysts are a rare clinical manifestation in adults. We present the case of a female patient with an infected urachal cyst, discuss the embryology, clinical presentation, diagnostics and the therapeutic procedure and make a comparison with the literature.

Copyright c 2012 by Korean Hip Society 245 Periprosthetic femoral fracture is a problematic complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although treatment protocols for periprosthetic femoral fracture have been reported, treatment protocols for periprosthetic fracture with accompanying infection have rarely been published. When these two complications occur together, it becomes more difficult...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Evaluation of infectious complications in patients with proximal femoral fractures treated by osteosynthesis using dynamic hip screws (DHS). MATERIAL The group included 501 patients with 532 DHS procedures performed in the years 1996-2010. In 31 patients osteosynthesis was carried out bilaterally. METHODS Osteosynthesis was indicated for femoral neck fracture in 18 hips...

BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a key role in neointimal hyperplasia after an arterial injury. Chronic infectious disorders, such as periodontitis, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the effects of a periodontal infection on vascular remodeling have not been examined. We assess the hypothesis that periodontal infection could promote neointimal formation aft...

Background: Infected prosthetic arterial grafts at the Scarpa triangle is a serious complication in vascular surgery with high failure results. Extra-anatomic bypass one of solution literature, but there no research Vietnam yet. This report will share some experiences Viet Duc hospital.[1] Subjects and methods: 03 patients infected after lower extremity were treated by femoral artery ligation, ...

Suppose S is a surface of genus ≥ 2, f : S → S is a surface homeomorphism isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov map α and suppose S̃ is the universal cover of S and F and A are lifts of f and α respectively. A result of A. Fathi shows there is a semiconjugacy Θ : S̃ → L̄ × L̄ from F to Ā, where L̄ (L̄) is the completion of the R-tree of leaves of the stable (resp. unstable) foliation for A and Ā is the map ind...

Building on the works of Reo [9, 101 and Park and Phillips [8], we present a factor 2 approximation algorithm for the problem of finding a minimum cost bbalanced cut in planar graphs, for b 5 5 , if the vertex weights are given in unary (using scaling, a psuedo-approximation algorithm is also presented for the case of binary vertex weights). This problem is of considerable practical significanc...
