ABSTRACT: Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique that uses electrostatic forces to create fibers in the nano to micro range from a variety of materials, both synthetic and natural.Due to the high surface area to volume ratio, high porosity, and desirable mechanic characteristics of electrospun fibers, they are of current interest for a
Obstructive Sleep Apnea: From Intermittent Hypoxia to Cardiovascular Complications via Blood Platelets
2649-20 Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent episodes of apneas or hypopneas during sleep leading to intermittent hypoxemia and arousals.The prevalence of the sleep disordered breathing is estimated that almost 50% of men and 24% of women suffer from moderate to severe form of the disorder.Snoring, collapse of u
Two Cases of Subvesical Bile Duct Injury Detected and Repaired Simultaneously during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Introduction.Subvesical bile duct (SVBD) injury is a secondary major cause of minor bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).However, this injury is usually not recognized intraoperatively, but postoperatively.Case Report.Case 1: the patient was an 84-year-old female, preoperatively diagnosed with acute cholecystitis.During LC, a ti
Analysis of Piles Performance in Soil and Settlement Able Mediums
The Tabriz city, as one of the metropolises of Iran, has a special geotechnical condition.In the northeastern part of Tabriz, due to the fine-grained soil layers and high groundwater level, a number of structures have been damaged.The Fereshteh town is one of the areas where in recent years unbalanced settlement of newly constructed buildings has b
Prevalence and Molecular Identification of Nematode and Dipteran Parasites in an Australian Alpine Grasshopper (Kosciuscola tristis).
In alpine Australia, Orthoptera are abundant, dominant herbivores, important prey species, and hosts for parasites and parasitoids.Despite the central role of orthopterans in alpine ecosystems, the impact of parasites on orthopteran populations is under-explored.In this study we describe the relationship between parasite 14765-prb-a01 prevalence an
