The present case is a 35-year-old woman with one episode of postpartum deep veins throm-bosis (DVT) 12 years earlier and th...

detection and modification of the risk factors of stroke may be the most effective strategy for preventing its often irreversible consequences. a longitudinal prospective study was implemented to evaluate the effect of several risk factors on the course of cerebrovascular disease. the study groups were composed of 3s8 normal volunteers, and 308 patients with transient ischemic attacks. the two ...

Presentation of tuberculosis (TB) in pregnancy may be atypical with diagnostic challenges. Two patients with complicated pregnancy outcomes, foetal loss and live premature delivery at 5 and 7 months of gestation, respectively, and maternal loss, were diagnosed with pulmonary TB.

conclusions hcv coinfection, older age and ast were associated with lf in patients with hiv infection. objectives the aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify factors associated with liver fibrosis (lf) in patients with hiv monoinfection and hiv-hcv coinfection. patients and methods we analyzed lf by transient elastometry ([te], fibroscan) in three groups of patients (hiv, hiv-hcv and ...

We present a classification of m-strict limits (i.e. and |D1fk|(Ω)+|D2fk|(Ω)→|D1f|(Ω)+|D2f|(Ω)) planar BV homeomorphisms; class previously studied by the authors S. Hencl in [6]. There it was shown that such mappings allow for cavitations fractures singularities but fulfil suitable generalization INV condition. As pointed out J. Ball [3], these features are physically expected limit configurati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Grafts of MHP36 cells have previously been shown to reduce dysfunction after global ischemia in rats. To test their efficacy after focal ischemia, MHP36 cells were grafted 2 to 3 weeks after transient intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) in rats. METHODS MHP36 cells were implanted into the hemisphere contralateral to the lesion, with 8 deposits of 3 mic...
