CONTEXT Ansa pancreatica is a type of pancreatic ductal variation. The exact clinical significance of this ductal variation is not clear. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 21-year-old male with acute idiopathic severe pancreatitis and extensive parenchymal necrosis who later developed a large pancreatic abscess. Subsequently, transpapillary drainage of the pancreatic abscess was attempted a...

This review article describes developments in chiral metallocenes as polymerization catalysts focusing on C2 symmetric ansa-zirconocene complexes. Selective synthesis of rac-isomers of ansa-zirconocenes are surveyed. Isospecific polymerizations of propylene catalyzed by chiral zirconocenes are summarized. Advanced series of polymerizations by chiral metallocenes such as asymmetric polymerizatio...

In this study, a glassy carbon electrode was modified potentiodynamically with poly(8-aminonaphthaline-2-sulfonic acid) [poly(ANSA)/GCE] for the detection of norfloxacin (NFN) in tablet formulations and human urine samples. Improvement effective surface area decreased charge-transfer resistance confirmed modification GCE by conductive poly(ANSA) film. The appearance an oxidative peak without re...

OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS Glottal closure and symmetrical thyroarytenoid stiffness are two important functional characteristics of normal phonatory posture. In the treatment of unilateral vocal cord paralysis, vocal fold medialization improves closure, facilitating entrainment of both vocal folds for improved phonation, and reinnervation is purported to maintain vocal fold bulk and stiffness. A comb...

A concise paper for an invited presentation for the IEE colloquim on “Distributed systems support for digital audio and video”. Object distribution has been regarded as one of the most important paradigms for distributed processing since the early eighties. The increasing popularity of digital audio and video applications presents new challenges to the traditional object distribution models. Th...

The intestines and mesentery of the nutria (Myocastor coypus) have not been fully described. In the present study 30 adult nutrias were studied using gross dissection. The small intestine was divided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum as usual. The duodenum started at the pylorus with a cranial portion, which dilated forming a duodenal ampulla. The ileum was located within the concavity of th...

This is an article for IEEE Computer which explains the rationale for ANSA; the principles that underpin the architecture and uses a simple telecommunications oriented scenario to explore the architectural framework. It is an amalgam of APM.1000 and the author’s 1993 TINA Conference Keynote address.. An Overview of ANSA (for IEEE Network)

A precise knowledge of the sources of the arterial and neural supply of the sternohyoid (SH), sternothyroid (STM), and superior belly of omohyoid (OM) is of value to surgeons using the infrahyoid muscles in reconstruction procedures of the head and neck. This study was designed to define the anatomical bases of the variable sources of the arterial and neural supply of these muscles. Fourteen ca...
