purpose: to compare the results of conventional hang-back technique (chbt) with that of anchored hang-back technique (ahbt) for bilateral lateral rectus (lr) recession in patients with exotropia. methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients underwent chbt (group 1) or ahbt (group 2) for lr recession (30 patients in each group). preoperative and postoperative deviation, age, sex, the ...

introduction: binding a monoclonal antibody to tumor associated antigens is an effective method for cancer therapy because these agents can specifically target malignant cells, in fact monoclonal antibodies are effective agents for diagnosis, grading and treatment of different kinds of cancers. methods: in this research, a new monoclonal antibody against colon cancer cells was prepared and anti...

this study redescribes an arthroscopic bridge technique for repair of avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament. the procedure is performed step-to-step. in this technique we created two bone tunnels in the anterior aspect of the tibia and inferior medial of the tibia tuberosity and then create suture fixation of the fragment using the suture bridge. the arthroscopic bridge technique was used...

the membrane separation technology by relying on microfiltration ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis methods are becoming more important among consulting engineers, designers of environmental pollution control system, and industrial factories. the advantages of this technology together with its emphasis on recycling the fluid to the system and reusing the membranes have caused the membranes to...

the objective of this experimental work was to assess the drop impact damage onwoven glass fibre reinforced polymer composite laminate through online method and offlinemethod. online monitoring of drop impact damage was carried out by acoustic emission (ae)technique and ae signals during the drop impact test were captured. from the analysis of aesignals, it was observed that as the impact energ...

the present study was designed to investigate the impact of applying fill-in-the-map and construct-a-map techniques on efl learners’ knowledge of tenses. to this end, sixty efl elementary female students, who were selected based on their performance on a standardized teacher-made proficiency test, were randomly assigned into two equal experimental and control groups. in order to be convinced of...

conclusion the designed split-bolus mdct technique can be proposed alternatively to triphasic mdct and in a single-pass to pvp in the initial staging and in the follow-up respectively in oncologic patients. patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the follow-up split-bolus 64-detector row ct protocol in 36 oncologic patients to characterize focal liver lesions. the split-bolus mdct prot...

objective: microleakage in the gingival floor of class ii composite restorations can compromise the marginal adaptation of the filling material to the cavity edges. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light conducting cylindrical inserts in decreasing the microleakage of the gingival floor in cavities 1mm below the cej. materials and methods: eighty maxillary first molars were r...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...
