(2007)
Object. The suprascapular nerve may become entrapped as it travels deep to the suprascapular ligament, necessitating decompression. The present study was performed to verify the feasibility of a minimally invasive, ...
Do mechanical fluid laws dictate the branching pattern of the renal artery?
Anatomy of the renal artery is an important issue in the renal transplantation era. Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) is an accurate modality for the preoperative assessment of live renal donors, and ...
Origins of the gonadal artery: embryologic implications.
(2007)

Efficacy of high-dose trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol prophylaxis on early urinary tract infection after renal transplantation.
(2006)
Urinary tract infection (UTI), a major cause of morbidity in renal transplant recipients, has also been found to increase mortality. The first month post-kidney transplantation is considered the critical time, with most ...
Comparison of transplanted kidney function in patients on two different doses of mycophenolate mofetil.
(2006)
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), an immunosuppressant that is widely used in renal transplant recipients, is associated with several dose-dependent hematologic and gastrointestinal side effects that lead to drug dose reduction ...
External landmarks for identifying the drainage site of the vein of Labbé : Application to neurosurgical procedures
(2012)
Introduction. The vein of Labbé is an important structure of the lateral cortical surface. However, to date, studies aimed at providing external landmarks for aiding in its identification have been scant. Therefore, the ...
