OBJECTIVE We sought to compare the development of paraurethral banding and subsequent dyspareunia in women undergoing either a transobturator (TO) or retropubic (RP) sling. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing women treated with either a TO or RP sling during a 10-month period. RESULTS A total of 25 TO sling patients and 28 RP sling patients were compared in the ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dual chest banding using elastic bands on the shoulder pain of a scapular dyskinesis patient with winging and an elevated scapula. [Subject] The subject was a 40-year-old male scapular dyskinesis patient with winging, an elevated scapula, and shoulder pain. [Methods] This study developed a method of dual chest banding using el...

S INCE THE ORIGINAL CLINICAL REPORT of Muller and Dammann in 1952,’ the use of pulmonary artery banding in small infants with congestive heart failure due to large ventricular septal defects has been widely recognized and used as a beneficial, palliative procedure of reasonable risk.2’ Only limited clinical information is available concerning the use of banding in the treatment of other types o...

Banding can be a major defect in inkjet printing. Knowing the visual sensitivity threshold of inkjet banding is therefore useful for understanding and pushing the technological limit of inkjet printing. There are many reports on the measurement of the human contrast sensitivity using self-luminous sinusoidal contrast targets. There are also reports on measuring the contrast sensitivity of sinus...

Banding of esophageal varices was done in 29 patients suffering from acute variceal bleeding. In 13 patients this was the first bleed while in 16 it was recurrent. Five patients had large grade III (polypold) varices while others had grade II varices. Banding was done using multi band ligator and 4-6 bands were fired per session. Repeat endoscopy at 3 weeks revealed persistance of varices requi...

studies of postmeiotic chromosomes have been impeded by the thick exine of immature pollen grains. chromosome staining of immature and adult pollen grains through conven-tional acetocarmine procedure is tedious and often leads to unsatisfactory results. an acetocarmine stain, used in conjugation with carnoy’s solution as fixative for 72 hrs or until the chlorophyll-containing tissues of spike b...

In this work, we use flow visualization and rheometry techniques to study the dynamics and evolution of secondary flows in a model wormlike micellar solution sheared between concentric cylinders, i.e., in a Taylor-Couette (TC) cell. The wormlike micellar solution studied in this work contains cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal). This system can be shear banding a...

Scientifically based recommendations concerning the choice of deep banding versus traditional broadcast application of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for corn and soybean production in conservation tillage systems have been hampered by insufficient research and inconsistent results. Even when the decision is made (e.g. by strip-tillage corn farmers) to go with deepbanding of P and K, numerous...

Some comments are provided for the benefit of new workers on the use of chromosome banding techniques for the recognition, classification, scoring, and break point location of primary chromosomal structural changes.
