Combined radiofrequency modified maze and mitral valve procedure through a port access approach: early and mid-term results
(Oxford University Press, 2003)
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of irrigated radiofrequency (RF) modified Maze procedure through a port access approach during mitral valve surgery and evaluate early and ...
Selective liquid-liquid extraction of mercuric ions by octyl methane sulfonamide
(Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003)
N-octyl methane sulfonamide (OMSA) has been demonstrated to be a very efficient reagent for selective extraction of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The extraction bases on rapid reaction of OMSA with Hg(II) ions yielding ...
Comparison of intraoperative transit-time flow measurement with early postoperative magnetic resonance flow mapping - in off-pump coronary artery surgery
(Texas Heart Inst., 2003)
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate graft patency of off-pump coronary artery surgery intraoperatively by transit-time flow measurement and to compare this technique with postoperative magnetic resonance ...
Influence of cardiovascular risk factors on the outcome of coronary artery bypass surgery
(Springer Verlag, 2003)
Purpose. To assess the impact of gender age and other cardiovascular risk factors on the outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods. A total of 5 067 consecutive patients undergoing ...
A glycidyl methacrylate-based resin with pendant urea groups as a high capacity mercury specific sorbent
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2003)
Polymer-supported pendant urea groups have been demonstrated to be very efficient in selective removal of mercuric ions from aqueous solutions. Methyl methacrylate (0.5 mol)-glycidyl methacrylate (0.4 mol)-divinylbenzene ...
Antihepatitis B response to hepatitis B vaccine administered simultaneously with tetanus toxoid in nonresponder individuals
(Elsevier Science, 2002)
In this prospective study our aim was to test the effect of simultaneous administration of preS2 and S containing recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (S2SRHB) with tetanus toxoid (TT) to the individuals who did not respond ...
Clinical experience with coronary sinus catheterization in minimally invasive aortic valve surgery under transesophageal echocardiography guidance
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)
We aimed to show conventional coronary sinus (CS) catheter could be used with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance through the limited surgical field in aortic valve surgery with 'J' sternotomy. This method was ...
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 ...
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 ...
