Let R be the class of all functions that are properly Riemann-integrable on [0, 1], and let IR be the class of all functions that are properly Riemann-integrable on [a, 1 ] for all a > 0 and for which

Parents’ socialization goals are important for cultural transmission across generations, but whether such goals vary by ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds and change over children’s first years of life remains unexamined. In Study 1, African-American, Dominican immigrant, and Mexican immigrant mothers (N = 300) reported on the qualities deemed as desirable or undesirable when children were ag...

EVERY DAY IN hospitals nationwide, patients undergo surgery and receive large amounts of opioids for unrelieved postoperative pain, subsequently experiencing life-threatening opioid-induced respiratory depression. Based on the Joint Commission 2004 to 2011 database of reported opioidrelated sentinel events, 47% of reported events were the result of a wrong dose, 29% from improper monitoring, an...

We model a problem proposed by Alcatel, a satellite building company, using improper colourings of graphs. The relation between improper colourings and maximum average degree is underlined, which contributes to generalise and improve previous known results about improper colourings of planar graphs.

Generally, ostomy is a purposeful connection of the lumen of the intestine with abdominal integuments by surgery. The study presents practical solutions related to care for the colostomy patient, i.e. an ostomy on the large intestine. The following issues will be discussed: regulating the defecation cycle, risk connected with improper selection of ostomy equipment, instruction on colostomy irri...

UNLABELLED Articles presenting treatment outcomes of stapled hemorrhoidopexy are rarely based on detailed analyses of the quality of life.The aim of the study was the assessment of changes within one year of treatment in the quality of life of patients who underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy using QLQ-C30 form (version 3). MATERIAL AND METHODS 120 patients with grade III and IV internal hemorrh...

Herpes zoster is a rare cause of non-discogenic sciatica. A combination of case rarity and name similarity was nearly leading to an inopportune surgery in a 21 years old woman. The clinical presentation was completely similar to a cauda equina syndrome associated with urinary incontinence and bilateral leg involvement. Concurrently, lumbosacral imaging of another patient with exactly similar na...

Cryptorchidism, the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum prenatally, occurs in 2.4%-5% of newborns. Many of these testes will descend spontaneously shortly after birth, but ~23% will remain undescended unless surgery is performed. Bilaterally cryptorchid men have a six times greater risk of being infertile when compared with unilaterally cryptorchid men and the general male...

What happens when the description is improper? A description νΦ is proper if there is exactly-one entity such that Φ [in the relevant situation]; otherwise, it is improper. We propose to treat improper descriptions as non-starters, which vitiate every expression in which they appear. In particular, an improper description is null [i.e., denotes nothing], and every expression in which it appears...

enough room for graft implantation or during closing the incision when one improper stitch can tear the peritoneum leading to a defect. Careful dissection should be performed in all cases, and if a peritoneal defect is found, it should be closed regardless of its size to avoid the occurrence of a PH. All in all, PH is a relatively uncommon but potentially fatal complication after renal transpla...
