Intestinal ischemia has been classified into three major categories based on its clinical
features, namely, acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), chronic mesenteric ischemia (intestinal …

Catalysts that can promote acyl transfer processes are important to enantioselective
synthesis and their development has received significant attention in recent years. Despite …

Spontaneous dissection of the splanchnic arteries is rare and reportedly carries a high risk
of mortality. Two cases with spontaneous dissection of the main trunk of the superior …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the risk of contamination of surgical
instruments according to the type of instrument and the surgical procedure. Methods …

Purpose: We attempted to identify the factors associated with the early mortality of patients
with nontraumatic colorectal perforation. Methods: Eighty patients who underwent surgery for …

Changes in tissue oxygenation in the calf muscle were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) in 62 patients who complained of intermittent claudication in the calf during a …

Based on a highly self-consistent theory maintaining the exact functional relations between
the self-energy and the vertex part, we evaluate the dynamical structure factor S (q, ω) of the …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have investigated the mechanisms of gastric rupture based
only on the findings in gastric rupture and excluding gastric lacerations. METHODS: We …

We developed an acylative desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diols using a binaphthyl-based N,N-4-dimethylaminopyridine
(DMAP) derivative 1h with tert-alcohol substituents. The reaction …

Hund’s multiplicity rule is investigated for the carbon atom using quantum Monte Carlo
methods. Our calculations give an accurate account of electronic correlation and obey the virial …
