Nasal valve suspension revisited.
OBJECTIVES Nasal valve suspension (NVS) is a simple technique to correct nasal valve obstruction or collapse by providing a lateral vector of pull on the nasal sidewall. The purpose of this research was to review our experience with NVS in a cohort of patients with nasal valve collapse, including a subset of patients with facial paralysis. The objectives were to determine patient satisfaction a...
متن کاملCycling in ecological networks: Finn's index revisited
A chief cybernetic feature of natural living systems is the recycling of nutrients, which tends to enhance stability and is one of the principal causes of ecosystem complexity. In 1976, Finn proposed a simple and effective measure (later known as the Finn cycling index [FCI]) to assess the quantitative importance of cycles in ecosystems. This index was successfully applied as a gauge of ecosyst...
متن کاملTerrestrial nitrogen cycling in Earth system models revisited.
Understanding the degree to which nitrogen (N) availability limits land carbon (C) uptake under global environmental change represents an unresolved challenge. First-generation ‘C-only’ vegetation models, lacking explicit representations of N cycling, projected a substantial and increasing land C sink under rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. This prediction was questioned for not taking int...
متن کاملQUICKSELECT Revisited
We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
متن کاملPENDRED\'S SYNDROME REVISITED
Pendred's syndrome is defined as a triad of congenital perceptive hearing loss, goiter, and abnormal perchlorate test. Three brothers with Pendred's syndrome [P.S.] are reported. The oldest brother has hearing loss (he has been deaf and mute since childhood) and has a large goiter. A thyroid scan revealed euthyroid multinodular goiter and a perchlorate test was performed, and reported abno...
