A method for predicting the complex physical properties of fabric using a simple measurement has been developed. For this, correlation analysis was performed between data measured by traditional fabric, KES-FB, and method, CLO Fabric Kit, which showed high correlation. Then, multiple regression drape coefficient KES-FB factors to find factor that had major influence on coefficient. From this re...

Objectives. Radiation scatter protection shield drapes have been designed with the goal of decreasing radiation dose to the operators during transfemoral catheterization. We sought to investigate the impact on operator radiation exposure of various shielding drapes specifically designed for the radial approach. Background. Radial access for cardiac catheterization has increased due to improved ...

AbstrAct A Web-based fabric database is introduced in terms of its physical structure, software system architecture , basic and intelligent search engines, and various display methods for search results. A fuzzy linear clustering method is used to predict fabric drape coefficient from fabric mechanical and structural properties. Experimental data indicate that fuzzy linear clustering is quite e...

A 17-year-old boywith bilateral bronchiectasis was admitted for bilateral lung transplantation (BLTx). Chest radiography (CXR) demonstrated localized right pneumothorax, diffuse bronchiectasis with fibrosis, and a large bullous formation of the bilateral lungs (Fig. 1A), as well as severe thoracic kyphosis, a long-term consequence of maintaining his sitting posture in bed (Fig. 1B). Although th...

BACKGROUND The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity (particularly postoperative infection) is higher for caesarean section than for vaginal birth. With the increase in caesarean section, it is important that the risks to the mother are minimised as far as possible. This review focuses on different forms and methods for preoperative skin preparation to prevent infection. OBJECTIVES To comp...

BACKGROUND The creation of extraperitoneal space with the help of balloon is helpful in the learning curve of total extraperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia. But the cost of the balloon with other disposable items is one of the limiting factors in the popularity of this operation. By using a homemade balloon, nondispoasable ports and suturing the mesh we have been able to reduce the cost consi...

Background. "Lead hands" are frequently used to maintain hand and finger position in hand surgery. The malleability and strength of lead make it ideal for this purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of lead transferred to a surgeon's glove during handling of a lead hand. Method. Sterile surgical gloves were wiped over the surface of a lead hand. The number of wipes was varie...

 In this paper, we aresupposed to introduce the definitions of n-fold commutative, andimplicative hyper K-ideals. These definitions are thegeneralizations of the definitions of commutative, andimplicative hyper K-ideals, respectively, which have been definedin [12]. Then we obtain some related results. In particular wedetermine the relationships between n-fold implicative hyperK-ideal and n-fol...

The impact of barrier devices on endotracheal intubation times is unknown. We sought to compare the effects using conventional personal protective equipment, an aerosol box, and a transparent plastic drape by experienced emergency physicians manikin in both sniffing ramped positions randomized, prospective cross-over study design. A total 13 performed intubations equipment (PPE), drape. primary...

purpose: to report a young patient with microphthalmos associated with bilateral papillomacular fold and severe hyperopia case report: in this observational case report, a sixteen-year-old young man was referred with high hyperopia to al-zahra eye hospital, zahedan university of medicalf sciences, zahedan, iran, for check up. spherical error in right eye (re) was +14.75 d and in the left eye (l...
