We consider a Hamiltonian theory of spherically symmetric vacuum Einstein gravity under Kruskal-like boundary conditions in variables associated with the Einstein-Rosen wormhole throat. The connguration variable in the reduced classical theory is the radius of the throat, in a foliation that is frozen at the left hand side innnity but asymptotically Minkowski at the right hand side innnity, and...

BACKGROUND Extended tunnelled roadways requiring ventilation via exhaust stacks are an increasingly common solution to traffic congestion around the world. In response to community concerns about adverse health effects associated with emissions from a new road tunnel exhaust stack, despite no demonstrable change in local ambient air quality, we conducted a cross sectional study to test for an a...

Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are common and disturbing complications following endotracheal intubation, and women are more frequently affected by these symptoms. This study explores risk factors associated with postoperative sore throat and hoarseness in women following intubation. In this prospective cross-sectional study, 97 patients undergoing elective ear, nose, and throat surge...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy for novices to conduct intubation with the Bonfils intubation fiberscope (BIF) using the transillumination-assisted or midline approach technique in patients with normal airways. METHODS In this prospective randomized control study, 10 trainees were assigned to the transillumination-assisted technique group (T group) or the...

conclusions gargling a green tea solution, an anti-inflammatory, natural, and harmless substance, can reduce the pain of sore throat in patients after endotracheal extubation. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of green tea gargling on sore throat after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). patients and methods this was a single-blind, randomized clinical trial, in...

We analyze the superconformal theories (SCFTs) which arise in the low-energy limit of N = (4, 4) supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions, primarily the Higgs branch SCFT. By a direct field theory analysis we find a continuum of “throat”-like states localized near the singularities of the Higgs branch. The “throat” is similar to the “throat” found in the Coulomb branch of the same theori...

The prevention of the first attack of RF requires antibiotic treatment of suspected or proven streptococcal throat infection or tonsillitis in children between the ages of 3 and 15 years. In communities where RF is endemic, all cases of sore throat in children 3 15 years of age should be regarded as a streptococcal infection and be treated as such unless any one of the following clinical charac...

String theory compactification involves manifolds with multiple warp factors. For cosmological applications, we often introduce a short, high-energy inflationary throat, and a long, low-energy Standard Model throat. It is assumed that at the end of inflation, the excited Kaluza-Klein modes from the Inflationary throat tunnel to the SM throat and reheat Standard Model degrees of freedom, which a...
