BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Decrease in body temperature is common during general and regional anesthesia. Forced-air warming intraoperative during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia seems not able to prevent it. The hypothesis considers that active warming before the intraoperative period avoids temperature loss during cesarean. METHODS Forty healthy pregnant patients undergoing elective...

By using the solution describing a black hole embedded in the FLRW universe, we obtain the evolving equation of the black hole mass expressed in terms of the cosmological parameters. The evolving equation indicates that in the phantom dark energy universe the black hole mass becomes zero before the Big Rip is reached.

background : to prepare safe and adequate blood supply to meet patients’ needs and ensure a sufficient number of regular blood donors, knowledge about factors encouraging people to donate blood regularly is essential. considering its importance, we aimed to identifying the effective factors of the return to blood donation in based on zero-inflated count regression models using bayesian approach...

purpose: to compare the educational model and complication rates of cataract surgery performed by ophthalmology residents in iran with other countries and present suggestions for improvement methods: we reviewed a number of studies that investigated the complications of cataract surgery in relation to curriculum modifications from 2009 to 2011. review: complication rates are higher in our count...

This article discusses the identity processes involved in the transition to retirement for emergency service workers, which includes police officers, fire fighters, and emergency medical personnel. The author conducted a study using the Enhanced Critical Incident Technique (ECIT) to determine what helped, hindered and might have helped emergency service workers in making decisions regarding ret...

The aim of this note is to show that the following difference equation xn+1 = α + xn−k ∑k−1 i=0 cixn−i , n = 0, 1, . . . , where k ∈ N, ci ≥ 0, i = 0, . . . , k− 1, ∑k−1 i=0 ci = 1, and α < −1, has solutions which monotonically converge to zero. This result shows the existence of such solutions which was not shown in the recently accepted paper: A. E. Hamza, On the recursive sequence xn+1 = α +...

We present numerical results on the static quark–anti-quark grand canonical potential in full QCD at non-vanishing temperature (T) and quark chemical potential (µ). Non-zero µ-s are reached by means of multi-parameter reweighting. The dynamical staggered simulations were carried out for n f = 2 + 1 flavors with physical quark masses on 4 × 12 3 lattices.
