The experiment was carried out during 2015-2016, with the aim of investigating the effects of scion cultivar, rootstock age and hormonal treatments on the success of walnut minigrafting. Analysis of results showed that all studied factors were effective on graft-take and survival of minigrafted walnuts and other growth traits of the scions. The highest graft-take was observed on one-year-old ro...

purpose: to compare the refractive results of penetrating keratoplasty (pk) in two groups of patients with keratoconus undergoing corneal grafting with different amounts of donor-recipient disparity (0.25 and 0.5 mm). methods: as a randomized clinical trial and after performing a complete ocular examination and vitreous length measurement, 30 patients with keratoconus were randomly assigned in ...

background and aim the most common complication of renal transplantation is allograft dysfunction, which in some cases leads to graft loss. the role of graft nephrectomy in the management of transplant failure is controversial. the procedure remains associated with a significant morbidity and also mortality. our main purpose was the comparison between clinical and pathological diagnosis of graf...

Graft polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and ethyl methacrylate (EMA) onto starch (St) were carried out in aqueous solution using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as redox system under N2 atmosphere. The effect of pH, reaction time, temperature, concentrations of CAN, St, and monomers on the graft yield was investigated. Monomer reactivity was in the following order: AA>EMA.<em...

background: delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. we investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as marker...

background and aim . gingival recession as the apical migration of the gingival margin that results in exposure of the cementoenamel junction (cej) and the root surface. in this case series we aimed to demonstrate a combination technique using semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft for root coverage. materials and methods . a total of 12 healthy subjects, 25-45 years of ag...
