Uterine exteriorization versus intraperitoneal repair in primary and repeat cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of uterine exteriorization versus intraperitoneal repair, in first compared to repeat cesarean delivery.

Methods: A prospective randomized control single-blinded trial conducted in a single tertiary center between March 2014 and March 2015, including 32 and 63 women in first and recurrent cesarean sections, respectively. Inclusion criteria were elective operation and gestational age ≥37 weeks.

Persistence of left supracardinal vein in an adult patient with heart-hand syndrome and cardiac pacemaker.

A patient with a sporadic heart-hand syndrome, which includes thumb hypoplasia, septum primum atrial septal defect, and cleft mitral valve is described. During attempted placement of a pacemaker lead, persistence of left superior and inferior vena cava was found in addition to the right-sided caval veins. This corresponds to persistence of left-sided supracardinal vein present during fetal development.

Anticaries effectiveness of a fluoride and nonfluoride sealant.

This study compares the retention and anticaries effect of a fluoride and nonfluoride sealant. Two hundred and ninety-four children were divided into two groups. Participants had sealants applied to their first molars.

Retention of a fluoride-releasing sealant compared with its non-fluoride analogue: interim results of a clinical study after an average of eight months.

Objective: To compare the retention of a fluoride-releasing sealant with its non-fluoride analogue in a school-based sealant program.

Methodology: A total of 294, second- and third-grade students, in two schools, were divided within school into two sealant groups; those with Delton and those with its fluoride analogue, Delton Plus. Subjects had one or more pit-and-fissure sites on occlusal or buccal-lingual surfaces of six-year molars suitable for sealant application.

Heavier chicks at hatch improves marketing body weight by enhancing skeletal muscle growth.

This study examined some of the factors connected with the greater marketing weight observed in chicks hatching with higher BW. Examination of chicks hatching from maternal flocks of different ages indicated that BW at hatch increased quadratically and yolk sac weight linearly with age, whereas components of the gastrointestinal tract showed no significant trend. Growth of pectoralis muscles and gastrointestinal tract were compared in chicks hatching at the same weight from maternal flocks of 28 and 64 wk of age and in chicks from the same maternal flock (44 wk old) hatching at different weights.
