the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

BACKGROUND Severe blunt hepatic injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. Damage control (DC) surgery has been reported to be useful in severely compromised children with hepatic injury. We applied such a technique in the treatment of a case of hemodynamically unstable grade IV blunt hepatic injury in an eight-year-old girl. This case is the first to use multimod...

Radical open nephrectomy is considered the standard treatment for kidney tumors or masses greater than 10 cm. We present a rare case of acute pancreatitis that occurred after right radical transperitoneal nephrectomy, which was treated by nonsurgical conservative interventions. The incidence of acute pancreatitis after renal surgery is not known in the literature. A 56-year-old man developed ac...

The clinical determination of an infected kidney cyst may be difficult in a patient with ADPKD. The typical presentation of fever and abdominal pain carries a broad differential that includes pyelonephritis, infected kidney stones, perinephric or perihepatic abscess, cyst hemorrhage, or even intra-abdominal pathology unrelated to ADPKD. Conventional imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography,...

Spillage of gallstones (6-40%) are common during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Development of intraperitoneal and perihepatic abscesses are relatively rare (<0.1%). However, it may pose a diagnostic dilemma mimicking intra-abdominal tumor due to their similar radiologic appearance. CASE REPORT We present a 57-year-old woman with history of cholecystectomy 8 years prior who presented with a su...

BACKGROUND Severe liver injury in trauma patients still accounts for significant morbidity and mortality. Operative techniques in liver trauma are some of the most challenging. They include the broad and complex area, from damage control to liver resection. MATERIAL AND METHOD This is a retrospective study of 121 trauma patients with hepatic trauma American Association for Surgery of Trauma (...

We extend the concept of packing dimension profiles, due to Falconer and Howroyd (1997) and Howroyd (2001), and use our extension in order to determine the packing dimension of an arbitrary image of a general Lévy process.

An equivalent definition of packing dimension is given for a set in d-dimensional Euclidean space by using its component sets as packings. It is applied to determine the packing dimensions of a class of subsets with prescribed relative group frequencies. c © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
