The result of transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation technique, as part of the vaginal repair procedure for massive uterovaginal (Pelvic Organ Prolapse stage III and stage IV and vault prolapse) is evaluated. A total of 32 women were included in the present case series. Marked uterovaginal prolapse was present in 28 women and four had vault prolapse following hysterectomy. Patients with va...

objective: the lrr (leucine rich proteoglycans) is a molecular recognition motif found in proteins with some roles in cell adhesion, signal transduction, dna repair and rna processing. opticin is a member of this family. takanosu et al (2001) detected messenger rna expression of mouse opticin in the eye, heart, brain, testis, thyroid and epididymis by dot blot hybridization. in this study, exp...

While high-copy-number IS6110-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (HCN-RFLP) is the gold standard for typing most Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, the time taken for culturing and low throughput make it impractical for large-scale prospective typing of large numbers of isolates. The development of a new method, mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU), a variation of the...

Repeat observations of four debris-flow fans in south-western British Columbia, Canada, were made using a UAV-lidar system. Detailed measurements deposit thicknesses and volumes have been generated from the data. We present channel characteristics for one sites to demonstrate utility repeat lidar scanning technique provide insights into where avulsions occur during debris flows. Through continu...

Abstract—In the coherent change detection application of repeat pass SAR interferometry (InSAR) the scene coherence is used to detect areas of man-made scene disturbance. The sensitivity of this technique however is dependent on the extent of decorrelation across the scene that arises due to processing aberrations, system noise and environmental effects. Formulating the detection problem as a h...
