(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 ...
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 ...
The stability constants of the rare earth complexes with trimetaphosphoric acid
(Soc Chimica Italiana, 2001)
The stability constants of the complexes formed between the rare earth metal ions and the anion of trimetaphosphoric acid have been determined at a temperature of 20 degreesC and an ionic strength of mu =0.1 by the ...
Removal of UroLume endoprosthesis using holmium : YAG laser

A potential complication of UroLume endoprosthesis is migration which may necessitate removal of the stent. Stent removal may be associated with complications such as urethral injury bleeding and external sphincter trauma. ...
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 ...
