A method for securing closed suction drains in the neck is described where it serves to prevent leakage, slippage and accidental removal. This method involves passing a stay suture through the most proximal holes of the drain and suturing it to the skin and an overlying short length of the tube externally. Drains secured in this manner can be left in the wound for up to fourteen days with no as...

We define the notion of d i -regularity and regularity in generalized polygons, thus generalizing the notion of ‘regular point’ in a generalized quadrangle or hexagon. We show that a thick generalized polygon cannot contain too many regular points unless it is a projective plane, quadrangle or hexagon. For certain polygons (thick ‘odd’gons and 8-gons), we show that even a certain number of d2-r...

Vehicular Ad hoc networks ( ) must overcome a myriad of security issues to realize their potential. VANETs are latest research area in network field. are deployed in un-trusted and unsecured environments. Consequently, authentication i s a fo rerunner to a ny secur e interactions in these networks. In this paper, survey of VANETs Authentication is d i s c u s s e d . Different discussed. This w...

Example 1. Set f1 = x d 1 and fi = xi−1 − x d i for i = 2, . . . , n. Then Φ(x) := maxi{|fi(x)|} > 0 for x 6= 0. Let p(t) = (t d , t n−2 , . . . , t). Then limt→0 ||p(t)||/|t| = 1 and Φ(p(t)) = t d . Thus the Lojasiewicz exponent is ≥ d. (In fact it equals d.) This works both over R and C. In the real case set F = ∑ f 2 i . Then degF = 2d, F has an isolated real zero at the origin and the Lojas...

Leprosy is made manifest i n a variety of forms and the classifica­ tion and relat ionships of these forms are matters of controversy . There is , however, wide agreement that communit ies vary i n the relative frequencies of the d ifferent forms of the d i sease and, further­ more, it i s accepted that the symptoms with in a part icular form of the d isease may vary i n d ifferent populations....

In the treatment of acute pyogenic soft-tissue abscess incision, curettage, and primary suture was compared with incision and drainage alone in a randomised prospective trial. Operations were performed under antibiotic cover by casualty officers, and patients were reviewed by an independent observer in a septic dressing clinic. Altogether 114 patients were studied, of whom 54 were treated by cu...
