OBJECTIVE To determine outcomes of patients with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who underwent incomplete surgical staging with those who had complete surgical staging. MATERIAL AND METHOD Retrospective chart reviews were performed on early EOC (FIGO Stage I-II) patients who had registered in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between...

monocephalus thoracopagus is a kind of attached symmetrical twin in which two nearly complete individuals joined front-to-front in the thoracic region with a single head, fused chests, one or two hearts and two lower bodies. a died female kid goat with one head, four ears, four paired limbs and two more or less complete body was referred to the veterinary faculty of the shahid bahonar universit...

An incomplete stop consonant is characterized either by an indistinguishable closure or a missing burst. If an incomplete stop happens due to a stop following another stop [stop-stop interaction (SSI)], its acoustics typically resemble that of a complete stop-one closure followed by a single burst. As a consequence, stop detectors would fail to distinguish an SSI from a complete stop. Analysis ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to determine which technique of uncinectomy, classical or swing door technique.  materials and methods: four hundred eighty cases of sinusitis were selected and operated for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess). out of these, in 240 uncinectomies classical uncinectomy was done whereas in another 240 uncinectomies swing door technique was used. initi...

BACKGROUND The liver is the organ most frequently infected by hydatid disease and medical therapy alone is ineffective in eliminating the parasite. Surgical options vary from complete resection (e.g. total pericystectomy or hepatectomy) to limited procedures (e.g. percutaneous aspiration or unroofing of cysts). The aim of this study was to determine the long-term outcome after complete or parti...

Two new kinases of Dictyostelium discoideum were identified by screening of a (lambda)gt11 expression library with a phosphotyrosine specific antibody. Amino-acid sequences derived from cDNA and genomic clones indicate that DPYK3 is a protein of 150 kDa and DPYK4, a protein of 75 kDa. The C-terminal fragments of each protein were produced in Escherichia coli and shown to be autocatalytically ph...

AIM To clarify the features of acute or chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic tumors associated with complete and incomplete pancreas divisum. METHODS Clinical features of pancreatic diseases associated with complete (n = 54) and incomplete (n = 50) pancreas divisum were examined. RESULTS Acute and chronic pancreatitis occurred more frequently in patients with complete pancreas divisum (22.2%...
