Advances in urogenital plastic surgical tissue transfer techniques have enabled urethral reconstruction surgery to become the new gold-standard for treatment of refractory urethral stricture disease. Questions remain, however, regarding the long-term implications on sexual function after major genital reconstructive surgery. In this article, we review the pathologic features of urethral strictu...

In this article, the efficiency of microwave pretreatment, which is an environmentally friendly, low-energy consuming method for recovery from refractory gold-silver ores, was investigated. The ore sample belonged to oxidized Bolkardağ deposit, contains carbonate (calcite, dolomite, smithsonite, hydrozincite), silicate (quartz, hemimorphite), sulfate (beudantite, plumbo-jarosite), and iron oxy/...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present manuscript is to review the current literature on priapism, focusing on the state-of-the-art knowledge of both the diagnosis and the treatment of the refractory ischemic priapism (IP). METHODS Pubmed and EMBASE search engines were used to search for words "priapism", "refractory priapism", "penile prosthesis", "diagnosis priapism", "priapism treatment", "peni...

The prognosis of severe lupus nephritis (LN) is very different among individual patients. None of the current biomarkers can be used to predict the development of refractory LN. Because kidney histology is the gold standard for diagnosing LN, the authors hypothesize that molecular signatures detected in kidney biopsy tissue may have predictive value in determining the therapeutic response. Sixt...

Nowadays, refractory gold ore production around the world accounts for about 30% of total production, and low leaching rate such concentrate seriously limits efficient utilization resources. The alkaline preoxidation process can improve this kind deposit has good development application prospects. Therefore, it is great significance to study oxidation dissolution behavior pyrite in an environme...

UNLABELLED Epistaxis is one of the most prevalent emergencies in ENT practice, and its surgical treatment is part of the routine at services for emergency care, especially in cases refractory to clinical procedures. OBJECTIVE To analyze the profile of patients and the results this service has had in the surgical treatment of epistaxis for the last 11 years. METHOD Data from 98 patients subm...

Bacterial pre-oxidation of refractory gold concentrates generates large volumes leachate and requires a significant supply nutrients to support bacterial growth. Therefore, bioleachate reuse reduces both water consumption the required for process. However, efficiency this method its benefit need be further explored. In present study, two tests on in new cycles oxidation were carried out evaluat...
