OBJECTIVE Traumatic limb amputations (TLA) are structural defects that cause mild-to-severe disabilities and have significant impact on the quality of life of subjects. A recent epidemiological study in Bhimber District, AJK, Pakistan, revealed that TLA had a very high incidence among the young/adult females. The present study aimed at determining the prevalence, pattern, causes and risk factor...

Marshall Test design methods are used to design TLA modified asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture respectively, and their pavement performance is tested. The results showed that there is a transforming coefficient of 1.15 between OAC of 40% TLA modified asphalt mixture and that of base asphalt mixture, and ultimate gradation of the TLA modified asphalt mixture is finer than previous gradati...

Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA), originally developed for liposuction, has found widespread application. We report a case of peripheral arterial bypass grafting under TLA. The patient was an 84-year-old female diagnosed as having coronary subclavian steal syndrome caused by proximal left subclavian artery stenosis. Because she had several risk factors for general anesthesia, we performed axill...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic diagnosis of stomach mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is often difficult because few specific findings are indicated. Even when MALT lymphoma is suspected by endoscopy, it is still difficult to make a definitive diagnosis by biopsy because lymphoma cells sometimes distribute unevenly. We previously reported that a tree-like appearance (TLA) is a ch...

BACKGROUND Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a risk factor for mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). TR severity varies among patients with comparable degrees of PH and right ventricular remodeling. The contribution of leaflet adaptation to the pathophysiology of TR has yet to be examined. We hypothesized that tricuspid leaflet area (TLA) is increased in PH, and that the adequacy of this incr...

Abstract State Machines(ASMs) constitute the basis of an alternative approach to mathematical modelling of discrete dynamic systems. The ASM approach provides an expressive means to specify the operational behavior of a system, but it does not come equipped with a(fixed) logical proof system. Several formal techniques of verifying correctness of ASM designs based on a translation into variants ...

Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is useful for staging of patients with melanoma. Although SLNB mostly performed under general anesthesia (GA), tumescence local (TLA) can also be used. However, less data are available regarding feasibility TLA. Here we present a post-operative follow-up 150 patients. Patients and Methods We prospectively analyzed from primary cutaneous malignant ass...

The thymus leukemia antigen (TLA) is a class Ib, or 'nonclassical' class I molecule, one of several encoded within the Tla locus of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC). It structurally resembles the H-2K, D, and L class I transplantation antigens, which present processed peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Although their function(s) are unknown, there has been recent specul...

While hepatic tuberculosis is rare, primary tubercular liver abscess (TLA) is a rarer condition even in endemic countries such as India. Liver abscess in portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) is predominantly pyogenic. A 14-year-old girl was found to have PCC with multiple liver abscesses. Persistent fever and development of neurological symptoms prompted further evaluation, and she was found t...
