BACKGROUND This study aims to remodel the Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape for the Indian pediatric population. The Broselow tape overestimates the heights of the Indian pediatric population and remits inaccurate predicted weights for all color zones with varying degrees and could result in overresuscitation of Indian children in emergency settings. The Indian children are underweight for thei...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of newly developed nitroglycerine (NTG) tape on the peripheral circulatory disturbance in systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS The finger temperature (FT) of 25 patients with SSc was monitored by thermography before the application of NTG tape to the wrist and one hour afterwards. To check the placebo effect, the change of FT with placebo tape in six patients wh...

This paper presents a novel composite tape-spring that is suitable for use as a structural element of deployable space structures. The tape-spring uses a combination of material orthotropy and prestress to achieve the unique property known as neutral stability. A consequence of this property is that the tape-springs can be partially rolled and they neither want to unroll or rollup. Previously i...

conclusions generalized ligamentous laxity is an important predisposing factor for acute and chronic shoulder injuries in athletes. prescreening programs for beginners and rehabilitation shoulder programs for sports athletes at high risk are strongly recommended. results group a (with ligamentous laxity) consisted of 43 participants (36.4%) and group b (without ligamentous laxity) consisted of ...

The design innovations in the IBM 3803 Tape Control Unit and the IBM 3420 Magnetic Tape Unit are discussed. The new design concepts include a full readback parity check, a system of microprogram control that obtains high operating rates through overlap of channel control and motion control functions, a new phase-error detection system, a modified dual-density recording feature and a new interfa...

BACKGROUND Midurethral tapes may cause long-term complications such as voiding dysfunction, groin pain, de novo urgency or mesh erosion, which necessitate a reoperation. There is a paucity of data regarding health related quality of life in patients undergoing tape removal. The aim of the study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and objective outcome after midurethral tape division or excisi...
