Introduction Despite the high mortality rate of acute untreated pulmonary embolism (PE) at 30%, diagnosing PE is challenging. While prevalence has decreased in recent years, overuse computed tomography angiography (CTPA) remains a concern. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) provides guidelines using Wells score assessment. Royal College Radiologists (RCR) recommends positive yield 15.4% - 37% CTPA tests. This study assesses suspected patients evaluates potential...

The authors investigated the use of an anti-rotation screw with dynamic hip (DHS) during internal fixation Garden I and II femoral neck fractures. Sixty-five patients fractures (mean age, 70 years) were treated at authors’ institution. In 31 patients, a 2-hole DHS was used alone (group 1), in 34 combined placed cranial part head 2). Patients’ preinjury function mental level assessed using Barthel index Abbreviated Mental test, respectively. outcome measures included cost implications,...

Abstract Background The use of microbial biomasses, such as fungal biomass, to catalyze the transesterification triglycerides (TG) for biodiesel production provides a sustainable, economical alternative while still having main advantages expensive immobilized enzymes. Results Biomasses Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus stolonifera were used TG in waste frying oil (WFO). Isopropanol an acyl-acceptor reduced catalytic capability methanol was most potent with final fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristic features oral and maxillofacial swellings that could be seen on ultrasonographic examinations.Fifty patients with and/or were randomly selected, thorough case histories clinical examinations done, Doppler imaging performed, every group studied. Finally, histopathological evaluations performed identify final diagnosis, according which classified into 5 groups; I: inflammatory/space infection abscess swellings, II: cystic III: lymph node...

A prospective study designed to compare the short term and long operative outcomes of transnasal endoscopic repair congenital choanal atresia (CCA) with without postoperative stenting. Twelve cases from 2008 beginning 2010 either unilateral or bilateral neonates have been endoscopically repaired, stents were used in seven where other five did not any Careful follow-up for about 9 months CT was done every case. patients treated CCA—between 2010—7 (4 females 3 males) (5 2 bilateral) (age range...

Background; Severe full-thickness burns and significant injuries that cause extensive skin damage hinder natural regeneration jeopardize patient survival. Immediate coverage is essential to restore normal function. When a donor site available, using an autograft always the preferred most effective option. Aim objectives; To assess impact of applying human amniotic membrane at recipient micro-autogenous split-thickness grafts for covering post-burn raw areas, this study focuses on several...

Calculating bearing capacity is critical when designing shallow foundations. Many countries use limit state design (LSD) as the standard method for geotechnical design. The paper aims to develop realistic LSD partial factors calculations of foundations on cohesionless soils based full-scale model tests. experimental setup consisted a hydraulic jack, concrete footing, sand samples, and pressure cells placed in cylindrical wall. Fifteen samples were tested classified by gradation relative...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Superiorly based pharyngeal flap is one of the most common surgical techniques described for correction velopharyngeal disorders. Being a technique-sensitive and owing to its associated complications, simple technique has been introduced compared with it. Aim: The aim was compare results phoniatric outcome superiorly versus myomucosal resection direct closure posterior wall. Patients Method: One hundred patients both sexes were classified into two groups. Group A...

Scars have always been an issue, and the majority of treatments failed to address them adequately. The biggest obstacle that plastic surgeons still face is finding effective procedure works for all skin types in long run. In a non-invasive way, external volume expansion (EVE) devices use suction mechanically stretch stimulate tissues. Different studies proposed various mechanisms how releases skin, including mechanical action on individual cells, inflammation, ischemia, soluble mediators...

Several studies reported the comparability of digital stent enhancement techniques (including boost imaging) in detecting suboptimal results coronary stenting with Intra Vascular Ultrasound and optical coherence tomography.to assess deployment determine incidence requiring changing final decision using imaging.This cross-sectional study included 120 patients eligible for PCI were recruited during a period one year (January 2021 to 2022) DES.Suboptimal found 38% cases stents (angiography...

Previous biomechanical models of the penis simulated penile erections utilizing 2D geometry, simplified 3D geometry or made inaccurate assumptions altogether. These designed shaft as a one-compartment pressurized vessel fixed at one end when in reality it is two-compartment which compartments diverge they enter body and are two separate anatomic sites. This study utilizes more anatomically correct model to investigate erectile function. Simplified erect were developed using finite element...

The objective of this letter is to present the fabrication and use a device in combination with commercially manufactured occlusal plane guide as an aid determining orientation complete dental prosthesis treatment.
