For the block cipher RIJNDAEL with a block length of 128 bits group theoretic properties of the round functions are derived. Especially it is shown that these round functions generate the alternating group.

To our knowledge, isolated dextrocardia in association with congenital complete atrioventricular heart block has not been previously reported. We report such a case, elaborate on the possible pathogenesis, and present our experience with management.

The traditional axillary perineural (PN) approach for brachial plexus block is frequently used, but separate musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) required and increases procedure time patient discomfort. We hypothesized that a using the proximal perivascular (PPV) method at MCN branching from lateral cord would obviate need an while ensuring quality similar to of PN method. For group (n = 25), needle w...
