BackgroundCapillary patterns (CP) observed by magnifying Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) are useful for differentiating non-adenomatous from adenomatous colorectal polyps. However, there are few studies concerning the effectiveness of magnifying NBI for determining the depth of invasion in early colorectal neoplasms. We aimed to determine whether CP type IIIA/IIIB identified by ...

Preparation of high level waste for vitrification involves in part the dissolution of salt cake from the carbon steel storage tanks. The salt crystals composing this cake are high in nitrate concentration with the interstitial liquid being high in hydroxide and nitrite concentration. During the salt dissolution process, a stage is reached in which the inhibitors, hydroxide and ...

This article presents one of the few reported cases of endodontic treatment of class III dens invaginatus involving mandibular incisor. Due to invagination extending through the root, supposedly communicating laterally with the periodontal ligament space through the pseudoforamen, this case was classified as Oehlers type IIIA. The periradicular ...

Enforcement of the Master Settlement Agreement's (MSA) prohibitions on youth targeting and the use of cartoons has resulted in a significant reduction in youth exposure to tobacco advertising. The MSA between the states and the tobacco companies has provided state officials with a new and powerful tool to address tobacco company marketing practices that may promote underage smoking. In the area of ...

The "first transition series" is made up of the ten elements from scandium (Z = 21) to zinc (Z = 30). The electronic configurations of the first transition series elements are characterized by successive additions of electrons to the 3d level. Other transition series correspond to the first transition series in the subsequent periods. So then, lutetium (Z = 71) and the element 103, ...

High level radioactive waste (HLW) is stored in underground storage tanks at the Savannah River Site. The SRS is proceeding with closure of the 22 tanks located in F-Area. Closure consists of removing the bulk of the waste, chemical cleaning, heel removal, stabilizing remaining residuals with tailored grout formulations and severing/sealing external ...

The coupons from the corrosion coupon rig (CCR) were removed from tank 50 after a ten-month exposure. The evaluation consisted of microscopic examination, weight losses, and pit depth measurements. The coupons were exposed in both the liquid waste and the air space above the waste. The corrosion in the air space was characterized by variable-depth degradation under adherent ...

The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are lysosomal storage disorders caused by defects in the enzymes involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans. Hurler syndrome (MPS I) and Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS III) are among the more common diseases in the group, each occurring with an incidence of approximately 1 in 100,000. We present a case of siblings, born of a consanguineous ...

The surface cleaning of InGaAs and InAlAs is studied using Synchrotron Radiation Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Thermal annealing at 400 C can not completely remove the native oxides from those surfaces. Elemental arsenic build-up is observed on both surfaces after acid treatment using HCl, HF or H{sub 2}SO{sub 4} solutions, which is similar to acid-cleaned GaAs surface. Cleaned InGaAs surface is ...

Oxacillin resistance was present in 99 of 277 (36%) consecutive Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected from hospital patients in Tehran during a 15-month period (January 2004-March 2005).
