This paper presents the full-scale experimental validation of the damage-induced deflection approach recently developed for damage detection and quantification of shear buildings. In the approach, an additional deflection induced by damage is used to estimate its location and severity because the deflection contains essential information about the damage. In this study, damage location and severity of a five-story full-scale shear building was estimated, not measured directly, by modal flexibili

In the present study, we report a mature cystic teratoma of the uterosacral ligament successfully treated with LESS in a 34-year-old woman with a preoperative diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma of the left ovary.

OBJECTIVE: Rapid increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) can result in hypertension, bradycardia and apnea, referred to as the Cushing phenomenon. During decompressive craniectomy (DC), rapid ICP decreases can cause changes in mean atrial blood pressure (mABP) and heart rate (HR), which may be an indicator of intact autoregulation and vasomotor reflex. METHODS: A total of 82 patients who underwent DC due to traumatic brain injury (42 cases), hypertensive intracerebral hematoma (19 cases), or maj

A 74-year-old male patient receiving ventilatory support due to aspiration pneumonia developed bilateral pneumothorax, pneumopericardium, pneumomediastinum, pneumo-retroperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema, after manual ventilation while being transferred from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the operating room (OR). These complications were assumed to be secondary to inappropriate manual ventilation of the intubated patient. In addition, it is likely that the possible migration of an already

Background This retrospective analysis evaluates the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and GLP-1RA persistence in patients with T2 D initiating their first GLP-1RA.

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is an uncommon manifestation of hemophilia that presents childhood. ICH in hemophilic children is usually preceded by head trauma [1]. We present the case of a male 8-month-old infant patient that had undergone an urgent craniectomy for subdural hematoma without an established hemophilia diagnosis. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of a thorough personal and familial history, especially, in urgent circumstances and the necessity of considerin
