Ferroelectric domain reversal is a vast research area relevant to the fundamental science and applications as well macro- nanoscales. An instantaneous compensation of typically huge depolarizing electric fields key element here. On other hand, wall (DW) conduction now regarded general ferroelectric phenomenon. Being often separated by big surface energy barriers in macroscopic experiments, DW b...

Radical surgery with total or partial tumor-specific mesorectal excision remains the mainstay of treatment for rectal cancers. Development of the anastomotic leakage is the most feared postoperative complication after rectal cancer surgery with incidence in the published literature ranging from 1.8 to 19.8% [1-2]. Advances in the management in the form of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, staging ...

Jejunoileal bypass (JIB), popular in the 1960s and 1970s, had remarkable success in achieving weight loss by creating a surgical short bowel syndrome. Our patient had an unusual case of liver disease and provided no history of prior bariatric surgery. Later, it was recognized that he had a JIB in the 1970s, which was also responsible for the gamut of his illnesses. Patients with JIB are often n...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic protamine reactions with heparin reversal during cardiac surgery are common and associated with adverse outcomes. As an alternative to protamine, the authors examined heparinase I reversal of heparin after aortocoronary bypass graft surgery. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trial, 167 on- and off-pump aortocoronary bypass graft surgery patients receiv...

OBJECTIVE The objective is to evaluate efficiency based on data on morbidity and mortality, health-related quality of life and healthcare-related costs after early reversal of temporary ileostomy after rectal resection for cancer compared with the standard procedure (late reversal). BACKGROUND Reversal of a temporary ileostomy is generally associated with a low morbidity and mortality. Howeve...

abstract background: thrombosis will occur due to contact of blood with unepithelialized surfaces after vascular clamping and also blood stasis during vascular surgery. heparin is administered to prevent thrombosis. the aptt test is used for assurance of the anticoagulative effect of heparin. at the end of the operation heparin is neutralized by protamine sulfate in some centers. in this study ...
