Objectives In the present study we investigated whether preservation of both leaflets (anterior and Posterior with subvalvular apparatus) is superior to preservation of the posterior leaflet Alone.Patients and Methods 30 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement in our institute were divided into 2 groups: MVR-C (n=16), in whom both leaflets

Cryotherapy is one of the most common treatments for warts; however, pain during treatment and relatively high recurrence rates limit its use.Local hyperthermia has also been used successfully in the treatment of plantar warts.The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of local hyperthermia vs cryotherapy for the treatment of p

Given the range and complexity of pressures on food systems across the globe, we suggest that future research on sustainable food systems can be clustered under three broad topics: the need for integration across multiple jurisdictions, sectors, and disciplines that includes different models of food systems and community visions of an integrated fo

The paper covers the research and development of piezoelectric traveling wave actuators using different types of the waveguides.The introduced remtavares.com piezoelectric actuators can be characterized by specific areas of application, different resolution, and torque.All presented actuators are ultrasonic resonant devices and they were developed

Abstract Irrespective of the specific see-through device, obtaining optimal transparency remains the primary goal.In this work, we introduce a general strategy to enhance the transparency of various see-through devices.We achieve this by structuring the colored functional materials into imperceptible three-dimensional mesh lines, addressing a commo
