In neonatal resuscitation, Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is usually recommended as an alternate airway when endotracheal intubation is not possible. However, it can be used to give positive pressure breaths in place of Bag and Mask (BM) and may even be easier to use than…

The objective of this study was to validate the Numerical Simulation Model proposed for Locator (Zest Anchors, Inc.) system, by comparing the retention values with the ones mentioned in the product catalogue in order to optimise the shape of the overdenture systems, to improve the…

Introduction:  Keloid acne of the neck (KAN) is a dermatological pathology with very poorly explained etiopathogenesis and specific ethnic distributions; and almost always observed in black males. Case history: Miss N, 26 years old, came consulting for pruriginous scalp lesions, appearing intermittently over the last…

As a result of the growth of emergent economies and globalization, the traditional industry models based on competition relying on costs and quality are not sufficient for traditional industry competitiveness. These classical paradigms considered that clustered industries based their competitiveness on technology innovation and the…

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the anterior tibial artery are infrequent; the optimal treatment strategy is still a subject of debate. We report a case of an anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm complicating an endovascular intervention which was managed by transluminal platinum coil embolization and review the current…

The objective of this article is to evaluate the role of different variables affecting the results of tubularised incised plate repair for hypospadias. We prospectively evaluated 125 patients of TIPU repair from April 2009 to October 2011. Study parameters were age, severity of hypospadias, degree of…

The aim of this study was to investigate whether endodontically retreated teeth filled with Resilon are more resistant to fracture than those filled with gutta percha following hand or rotary removal techniques. Seventy-two upper anterior human teeth were selected, decoronated and reduced to 12 mm. The…

Thus the aim of present study was to assess the erosive potential of commonly used beverage over esthetic restorative material, which are traditional GIC and composite. In this study two tooth colored restorative materials were chosen and erosive materials selected were Orange juice and Yakult.…

The reversed radial forearm flap is considered the workhorse flap for hand reconstruction, while the posterior interosseous artery (PIA) flap did not take the same interest. This paper presents 25 cases with ulnar side hand defects that was reconstructed with PIA flap with 22 flaps…

This paper investigates the challenges in developing a domestic scale solar thermal electricity system using a Stirling engine. All the system components, the parabolic troughs, the heat transfer fluid and the Stirling engine are individually analysed and described. The analysis includes a market survey and…
