PURPOSE To evaluate whether oral fluid intake has an effect on renal length as determined with sonography. METHODS We studied 524 adult patients who were referred to our ultrasound unit with complaints other than urinary tract symptoms. The mean age of the patients was 44 years (range 17-76). All of the measurements were performed with the patient in the prone position. The renal length of ea...

As a particle moves along a smooth curve in the plane, turns as the curve bends. Since T is a unit vector, its length remains constant and only its direction changes as the particle moves along the curve. The rate at which T turns per unit of length along the curve is called the curvature (Figure 13.19). The traditional symbol for the curvature function is the Greek letter (“kappa”). k T = dr>d...

Syntactic complexity has long been taken as a significant factor in determining writing quality by EFL learners. And researchers recent years have made lot of efforts to devise and verify wide range factors or indicators for the purpose measuring syntactic predicting quality. The present study discussed bases itself on self-built learner corpus with data collected over three years, aim applicab...

Background: For all the reports on the association between seasons and coronary artery disease, there is a paucity of information on the possible effects of seasonal variations on the outcome of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). The aim of this study was to assess the short-term outcome of post-CABG patients in the four different seasons to find any correlation betw...

PURPOSE Cataract development is common following retinal detachment surgery that necessitates silicone oil injection. Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in the presence of silicone oil is challenging for many reasons. The authors evaluated the accuracy of intraoperative biometry during cataract surgery in silicone-filled eyes. METHODS Twelve cases of cataract in eyes filled with silicon...
