This was an epidemiological cross-sectional study on the knowledge of the clinicians on the surgical ethics especially the informed consent among the surgically emergency patients in the various units of the General Surgery Department, Chittagong Medical Hospital, Bangladesh which revealed that the majority of the grad…

An improvement of examination methods in ophthalmology, technical digitalisation and knowledge of validity of examinations in various diseases contributes to early diagnostics, thereby leading to an opportunity for early treatment of eye disorders. Standard introduction of the so-called optical coherence tomography int…

BACKGROUND: Anthroposophic hospitals provide integrative medical care by complementing conventional (CON) with anthroposophic medicine (AM). They teach integrative medicine in postgraduate medical training (PGMT). In a first evaluation of PGMT quality in AM, we analyzed the problems of this training from the perspectiv…

Statistical results of a study monitoring the occurrence of obesity in the Czech population between 1985 and 2000 were published by the Czech Society of General Practice, in the recommended diagnostic and treatment guidelines for general practitioners under the heading 'Obesity'. In these recommended guidelines, a coll…

Spina bifida is a developmental defect in the vertebral column, in which the laminae fail to fuse and thereby the spinal cord is relatively unprotected. We report a case of spina bifida, in a dried specimen of sacrum, characterized by a prominent S1 spine and a higher sacral hiatus. Conventional textbooks of anatomy pr…

Axillary artery divides into 3 parts by pectoralis minor muscle and classically each part has its own branches. There are many reports to show different variations in the branching pattern of the axillary artery. However, here we have shown an unreported unique branching pattern of axillary artery, where most of the br…

INTRODUCTION: The study concentrates on nine neoclassical facial references, canons. SAMPLE AND METHODS: These neoclassical canons are studied and compared in two groups of young Caucasian population as follows: 160 students were studied, namely 60 primary school boys at the age of seven and 100 young men at the age r…

The authors present their experience with treatment of 74 patients operated on for hepatocellular carcinoma. Resection could be performed only in 44 patients. In 19 cases, a catheter for regional chemotherapy was implanted. Tumor destruction with alcohol was performed 4 times and radiofrequency thermal ablation 5 times…

Early diagnosis of expansive formations enables efficient therapy and maximal reduction of remaining neurological damage. Schwannoma situated entirely within the inner auditory canal with free pontocerebellar angle is a rather rare event. Of significant diagnostical help are auditory evoked potentials (AEP), computeris…

Increased pulmonary vascular resistance can be detrimental to the cardiac output in post-operative cardiac surgical patients. Pulmonary vasodilator therapy by systemic pharmacologic agents is non-selective. Inhaled nitric oxide is a selective pulmonary vasodilator and does not cause systemic hypotension. In this prospe…

The goal of periodontal treatment in not only the stabilization of disease but also the regeneration of the destructed tissue. In the past few years various procedures have been created to achieve this. The guided tissue regeneration is a surgical procedure developed on the basis of experimental studies. It enables the…

Human interest in negation dates back to thousands of years ago and concerns not only Linguistics, Logic, Psychology, and Mathematics. A lot of everyday words have negative meaning expressed by means of negative prefixes. Such type of negation is called word, or affixal negation. Affixal negation is a process of word-f…

The availability of full text medical journal articles is rapidly increasing with the increased availability of the Internet. The potentials of the new technology present researchers, publishers, and librarians with new problems and challenges. Some resources are made available free of charge, whereas others are distri…

Accurate characterization of aerodynamic stability coefficients is essential for predicting the dynamic behavior of atmospheric re-entry vehicles. Estimating these coefficients from free-flight data is challenging due to nonlinear flow–structure coupling, limited data, and high computational costs. Existing nonl…

A novel mechanism based on aliovalent doping, allowing fine tuning of the nanostructure and surface topography of solution-derived ceria films, is reported. While under reducing atmospheric conditions, non-doped ceria films are inherently polycrystalline due to an interstitial amorphous Ce(2)C(3) phase that inhibits gr…

Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) is a characteristic chromosomal marker that is associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Philadelphia chromosome in bone marrow cells in patients with suspected diagnosis of CML in the Presov region (1995-2004) was detected in 94.4 % of cases. In one patient a complex translocatio…

Some characteristics of quality and way of life were examined in the group of persons aged over 60 years. One group was in the West region of the Czech Republic--1028 people living in the city of Plzen. The other group was in the East region of Slovakia--125 senior citizens from the town of Presov. The investigations w…

We present a case in which the diagnosis of the ovarian carcinoma was made only by the free peritoneal fluid cytology as all the other specimens were negative for malignancy. We discuss the role of laboratory testing of the free peritoneal fluid even in small amounts or of the peritoneal drainage in cases of ovarian cy…

AntiHBc seropositivity among patients with chronic HCV infection is not a rare entity (57.14 %). We observed that antiHBc antibody seropositivity does not have a significant impact on treatment responses to interferon/ribavirin therapy in patients for chronic HCV infection in contrast to some reports in the literature…
