Authors presented 17 patients in whom two techniques for catheterization of the bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate complicated with undermining of the trigone of the bladder were applied. The first maneuver, used in twelve patients, was the insertion of a rigid stylet made from a 10F pneumatic probe used for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy into the Foley catheter in order to i...

The article describes the creation of a simulation robotic training workplace in RoboDK environment. is equipped with two-arm industrial robot Yaskawa SDA 10F, which electric grippers Schunk. also includes system two jigs, where translates plastic and metal rollers between jigs. Jigs can be moved as needed within robot's workspace. created fulfills role demonstration program for students or wor...

Background: Radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. Materials and Methods: 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: A. control group B. 3Gy×10f C. 6Gy×5f D. 12.5Gy×1f E.15.3Gy×1f....

The definition of borderline personality disorder has evolved since it was first described more than 60 years ago. It currently is recognized as a disorder within the mood disorder spectrum, rather than a forme fruste of subschizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. The disease affects 1% to 2% of the general population, and there is extensive comorbidity with Axis I disorders. Recent evidence...

Nineteen biliary strictures were dilated using a modified angioplasty balloon catheter to allow insertion of a 10F prosthesis. In each instance biliary strictures were successfully dilated which had previously been too tight to widen with standard endoscopic biliary dilating catheters. Eleven patients had malignant hilar strictures, four malignant distal common bile duct strictures, and four be...

Hyperprolactinemia is one of the major adverse effects of antipsychotic agents. Although it is predominantly associated with the use of conventional or typical agents, atypical agents also cause varying degrees of hyperprolactinemia. Clinical manifestations, which tend to be underrecognized, are the result of the direct action of prolactin on its target tissues and of the sequelae of hypogonadi...

We propose that the recently discovered Θ(1540) baryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated ud-pairs. If so, the Θ(1540) has positive parity, and it lies in an near-ideally mixed SU(3)f 10f ⊕8f . The Roper resonance and the P11(1710) fit naturally into this classification. We predict an isospin 3/2 multiplet of Ξ’s (S = −2) with J = 1 2 + around 175...
