It is known that patients with neurologic disorders are at high risk for the development of pressure ulcers. The most effective approach in pressure ulcers is the identification of patients at risk and their prevention. ...

Transmural migration of a sponge without symptoms of peritonitis is very rare. We report a case of a retained surgical sponge in the abdominal cavity, which caused intestinal obstruction 1 month after right nephrectomy and ...

Graves disease is ail autoimmune and multifactorial disease of the thyroid gland and one of the commonest reasons of the hyperthyroidism. Most of the Graves disease patients show typical symptoms of the disease such as ...

Extraction of sunflower oil from sunflower seeds (Heliantus annuus L.) using supercritical CO2 was studied. The shrinking core model was applied to the modeling of the packed-bed extraction process. The experimental data ...

The present study investigated the effects on the bonding between the denture base acrylic resin and the soft silicon based lining material of maleic anhydridestyrene-vinyl acetate (MA-St-VA) terpolymer and some of its ...

Low rise buildings are particularly vulnerable to ground movements sourced from swelling and shrinking of the expansive clay soils. Geotechnical engineers have long recognized that swelling of expansive clays caused by ...

The photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes using TiO2 and silver-loaded TiO2 has been studied. The dyes which were chosen (methyl violet, a cationic dye; Cibacron Blue FMR, a reactive dye; and Maxilon Red GRL, a mono ...

Leptin and zinc are involved in the regulation of appetite. Copper is a trace element regulating the functions of several cuproenzymes that are essential for life. To evaluate the relationship between zinc and copper status ...

Shape properties of calcite and barite particles ground by ball, rod and autogenous mills were examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Shape properties have been stated in terms of shape descriptors such as ...

We have theoretically investigated the subband structure of single Si delta-doped GaAs inserted into a quantum well at T = 0 K. We will discuss the influence of the delta-doping concentration, the delta-layer thickness and ...
