introduction: adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ah) is considered the most common cause of upper respiratory tract obstruction among children. it results in a spectrum of symptoms from mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, hyponasal speech, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea (osa) to growth failure and cardiovascular morbidity. adenotonsillectomy is a typical strategy for patients with ah, but may le...

The purpose of the WAND demonstrator performance measurements was to evaluate how well the requirements of the WAND system design are met. This deliverable sums up the results of the performance evaluation. A special focus is put on evaluation of the WAND specific components that were designed and implemented within the project. The performance of the WAND radio sub-system, consisting of WAND r...

OBJECTIVE Adenoids with obstructive hypertrophy (AH) are considered to be one of the most ancient and common problems in Paediatrics. This study aimed at investigating the expression of CD 64 on monocytes in children who had to undergo adenoidectomy. METHODS Therefore, 66 children (24 females, 42 males, mean age 4.9 years), affected by AH and requiring adenoidectomy (54%) or adeno-tonsillecto...

Aqueous humour (AH) is an important biologic fluid that maintains normal intraocular pressure and contains proteins that regulate the homeostasis of ocular tissues. Any alterations in the protein compositions are correlated to the pathogenesis of various ocular disorders. In recent years, gender-based medicine has emerged as an important research focus considering the prevalence of certain dise...

In the present study, drilling tests were carried out on Custom 450 stainless steel workpieces. The influences of control factors (cutting speed-Vc, feed rate-f and drill bit geometry-D) drilled holes’ surface roughness (Ra) size adhering workpiece (AW) to was examined. results obtained from designed based Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array analysed using ANOVA grey relational analyses (GRA).
