Out of 989 cases with a ball-valve prosthesis, 66 have been reoperated (6.7%). 2.9% of the cases reviewed annually have thus been reoperated. The main indications for reoperation were displacement (75.5%), malfunction (10.5%) which was related to a failure of the material of the prosthesis or to the deposition of fibri…

A first review of the history, status, and prospects for Philippine herpetology conducted more than two decades ago (2002) summarized the diverse topics studied and highlighted the development and achievements in research up to the year 2000. This study revisits and re-assesses what Philippine herpetology has accomplis…

BACKGROUND: Assisted living (AL) is an increasingly common, place of care for dying persons.
