Abstract Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVCL) is a rare retroperitoneal tumor.We report two cases of level II (middle level, renal veins to hepatic veins) IVCL, who underwent en bloc resection with BACKPACKS reconstruction of bilateral or left renal venous return using prosthetic grafts.In our cases, IVCL is documented to be occluded pre
Bilateral microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in a clinically healthy female receiving intravitreal steroid injections: Associations and potential risk factors
Purpose: To present a unique case of bilateral microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in a clinically healthy female receiving intravitreal steroid injections, and explore several associations and potential risk factors.Observations: A 75-year-old woman with chronic idiopathic anterior uveitis was receiving regular intravitreal steroid in both eyes fo
Development and characterization of reverse genetics systems of feline infectious peritonitis virus for antiviral research
Abstract Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a lethal, immune-mediated Kids Sandals disease in cats caused by feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), a biotype of feline coronavirus (FCoV).In contrast to feline enteric coronavirus (FECV), which exclusively infects enterocytes and causes diarrhea, FIPV specifically targets macrophages, result
INTEGRATION OF LIDAR AND 3D MODELLING FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A FLOODING EVENT
Laser scanner technology can be very useful for applications relative to surveying Pool Skimmers river-beds with high and very high resolution (sampling heights at one meter spacing or less).A 3D model of structures including the river-bed, sides and contiguous areas allows to develop rigorous hydraulic models relative to flooding predictions and t
