a tug which, according to towage contract, renders salvage services to tow, is not, principally, entitled to reward, although she has, practically, rescued the tow from danger. notwithstanding this, section 176 of iranian maritime act says: a tug has no right to remuneration for assistance to or salvage of the vessel she is towing or of the vessel cargo, except where she has rendered exceptiona...

based on section 179 of iranian maritime act, 1343, if salvage contract is concluded under the influence of danger or undue influence and its terms are inequitable or if the consent of one of the parties is vitiated by fraud or when the remuneration under the contract, in proportion to the services, is actually rendered too large or too small, the contract may be annulled or modified by the cou...

introduction: management of early relapsed or refractory lymphoma [hodgkin & non- hodgkin lymphoma (hl & nhl)] is a matter of problem, especially when hematopietic stem cell support is not available. the aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of iev regimen ( ifosfamide, epirubicin, vp16), in lymphoma patients who are not candidate for stem cell transplantation. because the majority of...

The objective of this report is to prove that even after development of ischemic necrosis of the muscles and nerves, we can still save the extremity or the knee and even several days after arterial injury, perform arterial repair and other mentioned procedures. Thus we can retain a functionally satisfactory leg or knee joint, which is far better than classic above-knee amputation and utili...

Partial calcanectomy (PC) is an established limb salvage procedure for treatment of deep heel ulceration with concomitant calcaneal osteomyelitis. The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between the amount of calcaneus removed during PC and the resulting lower extremity function and limb salvage outcomes. Consecutive PC patients were retrospectively divided into two c...

BACKGROUND Although primary treatment of localized prostate cancer provides excellent oncologic control, some men who chose radiotherapy experience a recurrence of disease. There is no consensus on the most appropriate management of these patients after radiotherapy failure. In this single-institution review, we compare our oncologic outcome and toxicity between salvage prostatectomy and cryoth...

PURPOSE Early salvage radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is commonly advocated in place of adjuvant radiotherapy. We aimed to determine the optimal definition of early salvage radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a multi-institutional retrospective study of 657 men who underwent salvage radiotherapy between 1986 and 2013. Two comparisons were made to ...

Radiotherapy is the main salvage option after primary radical prostatectomy. Radical prostatectomy, cryosurgical ablation and high-intensity focused ultrasound are the main salvage options after primary radiotherapy. After primary radiotherapy, long-term oncological outcome of salvage radical prostatectomy and salvage cryosurgical ablation is fairly comparable with the results of primary radica...
