Surgical Management of Paraganglioma of the Organ of Zuckerkandl with Combined Resection of the Aorta and Inferior Vena Cava with Bifurcation: A Case Report

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that frequently arise in the organ of Zuckerkandl (OZ).Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment.Although vascular resection and reconstruction have been reported in a few cases, no prior reports have documented the simultaneous resection of both the aorta and inferior vena cava (IVC), alo

Modified Wavelet-domain Adaptive Filtering Scheme for Stereophonic Acoustic Echo Cancellation in the Teleconferencing Application

Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellers are being used in high quality audio communication systems to reduce the echoes that arise from coupling between the loudspeakers and microphones.These echo cancellers have problems more severe than their monophonic counterparts.The most important Stacking Kit problem is the mismatch between the impulse respons

Cyclic stretching-induced epithelial cell reorientation is driven by microtubule-modulated transverse extension during the relaxation phase

Abstract Many types of adherent cells are known to reorient upon uniaxial cyclic stretching perpendicularly to the direction of stretching to facilitate such important events as wound healing, angiogenesis, and morphogenesis.While this phenomenon has been documented for decades, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.Using an on-stage s
