Over the recent years, reflectarrays and transmitarrays have been drawing a considerable attention due to their attractive features, including a possibility of realizing high gain and pencil-like radiation patterns without the employment of complex feeding networks. Among the two, transmitarrays seem to be superior over reflectarrays in terms of achieving high radiation efficiency without the feed blockage. Notwithstanding, the design process of transmitarrays is more intricate due to the necessity of manipulating both the transmission phase and magnitude of its unit elements.

Materials And Methods: The demographic and clinical data of 164 female patients who underwent surgery for PSD between January 2007 and May 2014 were evaluated for this retrospective cross-sectional study. Data collected for this study were age, BMI, the modified Ferriman and Gallwey scale (mFGS) for hirsutism, main symptoms, type of surgery, early postoperative complications (wound infection, wound dehiscence), recurrence, and follow-up.
Background: Situs inversus (SI) and midgut malrotation (MM) are uncommon anatomic anomalies that complicate diagnosis and management of acute abdominal pain.
Methods: We present two cases of left-sided acute appendicitis with situs inversus totalis and a literature review of studies published in English language on left-sided acute appendicitis, accessed via Pubmed and Google Scholar database.
Results: Sixty-three published cases of left-sided acute appendicitis were evaluated, and two patients (M:16 yr, F:17 yr) who presented to our clinic with left lower quadrant pain caused by left-sided acute appendicitis were reported.
