Extraperitoneal laparoscopic trigonoplasty is technically feasible. Results are comparable to open techniques. The major advantage of this procedure is the avoidance of peritoneum. Other advantages include a shorter hospital stay and good cosmesis. More followup is necessary to establish the long-term results.
Background: Keratinophilic fungi are a small but well-defined and important group of fungi that can degrade the hard keratin. So, keratinophilic fungi may be pathogenic with regard to keratinized tissues of human and animal. Objectives: In this study we took samples from the soil of Tehran parks, to investigate the role of keratinophilic fungi in soil, because of the frequent contacts of human being with soil, especially children. Materials and Methods: Two hundred soil samples from different parks were examined for the presence of geophilic keratinophilic fungi. Fungi were isolated from the samples by the method of hair baiting. Results: A total of 222 isolates of keratinophilic fungi were obtained. The following species were isolated:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
