We thank Dr. Alhan et al. for their constructive and important comment on our study [1]. They highlighted some relevant limitations [2] of this small randomized trial which we aim to address in our response in part. Alhan et al. have correctly asked for some unreported preoperative factors such as the ejection fraction, the pre-OP medication, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ...

The article titled “Intravenous Leiomyoma with Extension to the Heart: A Case Report and Review of the Literature” [1], published in Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, has been retracted as it is found to contain a substantial amount of material, without referencing, from the published article titled “Surgical management of intravenous leiomyoma with cardiac extension. Do we need total ...

In this paper a comparative analysis of 2D numerical models for overland flow simulations have been performed; in particular they are based on the shallow water approach according to fully dynamic, diffusive and kinematic wave modeling. The systems have been numerically solved by using the MacCormack second order central scheme. The models have been tested, validated and compared using numerica...
