Background Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is a rare congenital anomaly. It is characterized by herniation of the dura through a defect in the anterior sacrum. Rarely, however, it may extend to the rectal area through a rectothecal fistula with or without rectorrhea. Case description Here, we present a case of ASM associated with a rectothecal…[Read more]

05). CONCLUSIONS The fixation stability of the trilayer collagen prototype without fibrin glue is lower than of the clinically used bilayer membrane with fibrin glue in chondral defects at the medial and lateral talar shoulder in an experimental human specimen test. Clinical use of trilayer collagen prototype without fibrin glue has to be…[Read more]

At night, wider street canyon cools down quicker due to stronger upward longwave radiation and night ventilation. For hollow models, H/W = 1 attains DTR of 12.1 °C, which is 1.2 and 2.1 °C larger than that of H/W = 2, 3. Moreover, the sand models experience smaller DTR and a less changing rate of wall temperature than hollow models because l…[Read more]

No complications occurred. After a mean follow-up of 14±6 months, no recurrent VT was documented in 2/2 pts with baseline VT and a mean 84% reduction in PVC burden (31±13% vs 4±5% PVC/d; p=0,0027) was documented in others. CONCLUSION In pts with LVS-VAs arising from the inaccessible region and refractory to conventional RFA, an anatomical ap…[Read more]
