The geometry of the D1-D5 system with a small angular momentum j has a long throat ending in a conical defect. We solve the scalar wave equation for low energy quanta in this geometry. The quantum is found to reflect off the end of the throat, and stay trapped in the throat for a long time. The length of the throat for j=1/2 equals n1n5R, the length of the effective string in the CFT; we also f...

BACKGROUND The sore throat pain model has been conducted by different clinical investigators to demonstrate the efficacy of acute analgesic drugs in single-dose randomized clinical trials. The model used here was designed to study the multiple-dose safety and efficacy of lozenges containing flurbiprofen at 8.75 mg. METHODS Adults (n=198) with moderate or severe acute sore throat and findings ...

Throat packs are documented to cause airway obstruction [1-3]. There have several instances in the literature exploring obstruction of airway and other complications by pharyngeal packs [1-4]. They are commonly associated with throat pain and mucosal injury [4]. Besides their main use to prevent aspiration, throat packs can also lead to complications e.g. retained/forgotten throat packs, oedema...

Streptococcal throat infections are known to trigger or exacerbate psoriasis, and several studies support the benefit of tonsillectomy. To evaluate the potential of tonsillectomy as a treatment, we used a retrospective study-specific questionnaire to assess the proportion of psoriasis patients with sore throat-associated psoriasis exacerbations. Our survey sampled 275 psoriasis patients. Of pat...

Retail, being one of the most important aspects marketing, has immensely gained its importance over last couple years. In today’s world, because cut throat competition retail evolved beyond traditional brick and mortar retailing. Retailers are making their presence in both stores as well through online shopping websites many new innovations like click- and- The purpose this paper was to throw s...

Care research in coaching has repeatedly prioritised the voice of carer rather than those cared-for. This article addresses this shortfall and examines notions care through eyes female footballers. These voices are pertinent because football (soccer) United Kingdom (UK) been labelled micro-political, cut-throat, competitive, at times, uncaring. Further, women’s often marginalised sport research...

BACKGROUND Approximately 25% of Staphylococcus aureus carriers have exclusive throat carriage. We aimed to identify the populations at risk for exclusive throat carriage to improve sensitivity to detect carriers. METHODS Four groups underwent nasal and throat screening for S. aureus. Three groups of individuals in the community (n = 2632) with different estimated levels of exposure to the hea...
