The use of composite stentless valves with graft extension for the treatment of ascending aortic aneurysms
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)
[Abstract Not Available]
Anterior instrumentation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
(Springer Verlag, 2001)
Thirty-two patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis underwent anterior fusion with rigid single rod (third generation instrumentation) and titanium mesh cages. The mean follow-up was 31 (24-45) months and the mean age ...
One-stage surgical correction of congenital thoracic lordosis - report of 2 cases
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)
[Abstract Not Available]
The evaluation of microbial contamination in platelet concentrates prepared by two different methods
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001)
The microbial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two different methods both with a high risk of bacterial contamination during preparation and storage were evaluated. For apheresis platelets the ...
Fault-tolerant training of neural networks in the presence of MOS transistor mismatches
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2001)
Analog techniques are desirable for hardware implementation of neural networks due to their numerous advantages such as small size low power and high speed. However these advantages are often offset by the difficulty in ...
Electrical activity regulates AChR gene expression via JNK PKC zeta and Sp1 in skeletal chick muscle
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)
Electrical activity of myotubes represses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) gene expression. This effect is mimicked by okadaic acid and blocked by tetrodotoxin (TTX) or staurosporine in cultured myocytes [Altiok et ...
Interactions of polyacrylamide polymer with bentonite in aqueous systems
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)
The flow properties of natural Ca bentonite and Na bentonite-water systems were studied after adding an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer. The effect of the PAM has also been investigated at different quantities. The ...
Acute aortic valve regurgitation secondary to blunt chest trauma
(Texas Heart Inst., 2001)
Blunt injury to the cardiac valves leads to progressive acute ventricular failure which often requires urgent surgical management In this case report we describe an acute aortic valve rupture caused by air-bag inflation ...
Ondansetron hydrochloride for the treatment of delirium after coronary artery surgery
(Mosby Inc, 2001)
[Abstract Not Available]
Parameter quantization effects in Gaussian potential function neural networks
(World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society, 2001)
In hardware implementations of Gaussian Potential Function Neural Networks (GPFNN) deviation from ideal network parameters is inevitable because of the techniques used for parameter storage and implementation of the functions ...
