common interest, they are thought to be of sufficient importance to merit description together. In that first to be described, the patient wns abov of ten who some four days after the receipt of his injury was brought in from a neighbouring village, some eight or ten miles off, for treatment. His case is of especial interest on account of its being one of an injury to the Rolatidic area, which,...

The use of large-scale wireless sensor networks in road monitoring systems has been the subject of much recent research, particularly with regard to the issue of how sensors can be efficiently placed in order to reduce network costs while maintaining the required performance. In this paper, we propose an optimal sensor deployment scheme enabling complete road surface coverage with a minimum num...

I am not a lawyer, but I am not just an ordinary citizen either. I am a citizen of the free world. Citizens of the free world have powers that ordinary ones do not. I am a volunteer. There is great job security when you volunteer. A guy who lives like this should be married to someone like my wife, that sweet woman, Martha—a woman who will not throw you out of the house for plowing the family f...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyse donor and recipient predictors of graft survival in children who received live-donor renal grafts. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study comprised 273 children who received live-donor renal transplants at our center between March 1976 and October 2010. The follow-up ranged from 6 months to 25 years. Donor variables included donor age, gender, donor/recipient body weight...

the hepatitis g virus (hgv) is a newly discovered rna virus, which is associated with acute or chronic hepatitis. a survey was conducted in thalassemic patients, intravenous drug users (ivdu) and blood donors aiming to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis g virus (hgv) infection in these groups in tehran. the presence of hgv rna in these populations was determined using reverse transcriptase...

introduction: human leukocyte antigen (hla) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. they predict the outcome of transplantation by detecting self from non-self antigens. the best use of hla typing is to find a hla-match donor for bmt candidate patients. evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for hla-a, -b and -drb1 loci is a prediction for an improved o...

conclusions donor site pain following autologous iliac crest bone harvest is a common surgical complication that is often resistant to conservative treatments such as physical therapy and oral medications. blockade of the superior cluneal nerves is a safe and technically simple procedure that may result in long-term pain relief, obviating the need to consider more invasive options. case present...
