SummaryThe treatment of femoral head necrosis of adults is still rather problematic. Conservative treatment has been reported relatively unsuccessful and surgical treatment does not show convincing results either. The most effective seems to be a surgical treatment in early stages of the disease, however, the diagnosis still remains relatively complicated. For the late stages (2B and above) the most effective treatment option is represented by core decompression and vascular grafting. However, drilling and plombage (especially when using press-fit technique) seems to be successful, although not excellent. The authors describe their own method of drilling and plombage of the necrotic zone of the femoral head in 41 patients with X-ray detected necrotic changes of the femoral head. The pain measured by VAS was seen to decrease after surgery in all patients significantly. The Jacobs score was also observed to have increased (from fair to good outcome). We have not observed any large femoral head collapse after surgery, moreover, in some cases an improvement of the round shape of the femoral head was seen. It is important to mention that in all cases femoral heads with existing necrotic changes (flattening or collapse) were treated. Although the clinical improvement after surgery was not significantly high, the method we describe is a safe and simple method of diminishing pain in attempt to prepare the femoral head for further treatment in a future, without significant restriction of the indication due to necrosis (osteochondroplasty, resurfacing, THR).

Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mammographic, sonographic and MRI findings of metaplastic breast carcinoma. Methods: In this retrospective review study, we analyzed the medical files of 9600 patients who were treated for invasive breast cancers. Clinical information, histopathologic and radiologic findings of 65 patients were included in this study. All existing radiologic images and medical reports were reviewed retrospectively. Thirty-three patients had MG, 58 patients had US and 7 patients had MRI imaging results. Results: Mammographically, the most frequent presentations of MPBC were round shape, microlobulated margin and high density masses. Calcifications with or without masses were not a frequent finding. The most common sonographic findings were round shape, partially indistinct angular margin, hypoechoic and heterogeneous echo patterns and no posterior feature masses. All lesions were presented as masses rather than non-mass enhancements on magnetic resonance imaging. Features of masses had more malignant feature on MRI than other modalities in all 7 patients. Conclusion: Metaplastic breast carcinoma is one of the rarest poorly differentiated invasive breast carcinomas. Interestingly, these aggressive tumors demonstrate benign or moderately malign features on imaging methods. This appearance of MPBC can cause it to be misdiagnosed as a benign breast lesion especially in young women. MPBC should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of large palpable breast masses. Therefore, follow-up at short intervals and/or multimodality imaging studies which include breast MRI are important for the diagnosis of MPBC.

There is a method of using the corded plumb as vertical reference straight line, located in front of the objective of a digital photocamera in the article. When we take picture of the object under study, there will be this straight line in the photo, from which we can carry out all necessary measurements in the Paint system with the following conversion them into metric system. All possible variants of location of the reference straight line relative to it axis are considered by the example of the construction of the tower round shape and it is shown a method of heeling calculation by image processing results. Experimental research to determine the degree of influence of plumb location in the photo relative to it axe on the accuracy of the heeling determination was carried out by shooting the brick chimney with the 30 metres height when the plumb is located on the chimney axis and on different distance from the left and right of the axis. It is set in the result that the plumb location has influence on the accuracy of heeling determination. The optimal location is on the centre of the top section of the chimney and there is shown the method of accounting corrections due to inaccurate location.

First Time

The water soluble photoinitiator (PI) 4-(trimethyl ammonium methyl) benzophenone chloride is used for the first time in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A new green synthesis method involves using PI/UV system, carboxymethyl starch (CMS), silver nitrate, and water. A mechanism of the reduction of silver ions to AgNPs by PI/UV system as well as by the newly born aldehydic groups was proposed. The synthesis process was assessed by UV-vis spectra and TEM of AgNPs colloidal solution. The highest absorbance was obtained using CMS, PI and AgNO3concentrations of 10 g/L, 1 g/L, and 1 g/L, respectively; 40°C; 60 min; pH 7; and a material : liquor ratio 1 : 20. AgNPs so-obtained were stable in aqueous solution over a period of three weeks at room temperature (~25°C) and have round shape morphology. The sizes of synthesized AgNPs were in the range of 1–21 nm and the highest counts % of these particles were for particles of 6–10 and 1–3 nm, respectively.

Проведены исследования сухих форм модельных смесей вода–масло, вода–сахар, вода–масло–белок и вода–масло–белок–сахар под микроскопом МБС-10 при различных увеличениях с целью выявления особенностей структурообразования, степени неоднородности поверхности и оценки эффектов, наблюдаемых при сушке реальных смесей. Модельные растворы помещали в чашку Петри и по отдельности выдерживали при температуре 60°С в сушильном шкафу Memmert (Германия) до постоянного веса чашки Петри с навеской. Установлено, что в пленках присутствуют структуры, характерные для определенных компонентов растворов: частицы («ядра») практически круглой формы, выпуклые бугорки округлой формы, «звездочки», частицы с гладкими поверхностями различных размеров. Это свидетельствует о большом многообразии структурообразований высохшей пленки. Пленки растворов, включающих белок, слипались с дном чашки Петри, что приводило к определенным трудностям при их удалении. Эту особенность, связанную со сложностью отслаивания высушиваемого материала с поверхности инертного носителя, проявляющуюся при высушивании барды и приводящую к частой остановке оборудования для его очистки, необходимо учитывать при проектировании сушилок, предназначенных для сушки послеспиртовой барды. Dry forms of model solutions water–oil, water–sugar, water–oil–protein and water–oil–protein–sugar under the microscope MBS-10 at various magnifications with the purpose of revealing the features of structure formation, degree surface heterogeneity and evaluation of the effects observed when drying real mixtures are investigated. Model solutions were placed in a Petri dish and separately kept at a temperature of 60°C in a Memmert drying cabinet (Germany) to a constant weight of a Petri dish with a sample. It was found that the films contain structures typical for certain components of solutions: particles (nuclei) of almost circular shape, convex tubercles of round shape, sprockets, and particles with smooth surfaces of different sizes. This indicates a large variety of structure of the dried film. Films of solutions including protein stuck to the bottom of the Petri dish, which led to certain difficulties in their removal. This feature connected with complexity of flaking of the dried-up material from the surface of the inert carrier, which is shown when drying distillers' spent grains and leading to a frequent stop of the equipment for his cleaning needs to be considered at design of the dryers intended for distillery dregs drying.

The set-up of machining parameters for non-ferric materials such as wood and wood-based materials is not yet defined on a scientific basis. In this paper, a new rapid experimental method to assess the specific cutting coefficients when routing isotropic and orthotropic wood-based materials is presented. The method consists of routing, with different depths of cut, a given material previously machined to a round shape after having it fixed on a dynamometric platform able to measure the cutting forces. The execution of subsequent cuts using different depths of cut allows the calculation of the specific cutting coefficients. With the measurement being done during real routing operations, a method to remove machine vibrations was also developed. The specific cutting coefficients were computed for the whole set of grain orientations for orthotropic materials and as an average for isotropic ones. The aim of this paper is to present and validate the whole method by machining selected materials such as Polytetrafluoroethylene—PTFE (isotropic), Medium Density Fiberboard—MDF (isotropic), beech Laminate Veneer Lumber—LVL (orthotropic) and poplar LVL (orthotropic). The method and the proposed analysis have been shown to work very effectively and could be used for optimization and comparison between materials and processes.

Abstract- Nasal foreign bodies are usually received in otolaryngology practice. Although more frequently seen in pediatric patients, also they can affect adults, specifically those with mental retardation or any psychiatric problems. We presented an unusual case of the nasal foreign body, an eraser rhinolith in a 17-year-old boy with mild mental retardation presented with long-lasting nasal obstruction but no chronic infection or epistaxis. Computed tomography revealed a peripherally calcified sub-mucosal round mass in the left nasal cavity. After surgery, a round shape foreign body that looked like an eraser piece was removed from the nasal cavity. Rhinolith can present just with nasal obstruction. With properly diagnosed and appropriate surgery, all rhinoliths can be removed and complication of extraction can be minimized

Background. Four-node sampling is a useful substitute for sentinel node biopsy in low resource settings. USG is being increasingly used as a preoperative tool to evaluate axilla. We conducted this study to assess the accuracy of different descriptors of axillary ultrasound and to formulate a model on grading of axillary involvement.Material and Methods. Thirty-four patients with clinically negative axilla underwent preoperative axillary ultrasound. The suspicious nodes were marked and details of various descriptors were noted. These nodes were sampled during axillary dissection and correlation of ultrasonographic findings with histopathological report was done to calculate accuracy of different descriptors. Based on this, a grading system of axillary lymph nodes involvement was formulated.Results. Based on the presence of various descriptors, five grades of nodal involvement could be defined. The most accurate descriptors to indicate nodal involvement were loss of hilar fat and hypoechoic internal echoes with specificity of 83% and positive predictive value of 92% each. The combination of descriptors of round shape with loss of hilar fat and hypoechoic internal echos had 100% specificity and positive predictive value.Conclusions. Grading of nodal involvement on axillary USG can be useful for selecting the most suspicious nodes for sampling during axillary dissection.
