Background Meconium ileus (MI) is one type intestinal obstruction due to inspissated meconium at the level of the terminal ileum. The purpose of this study is to present the non-ionizing ultrasound-guided approach for the treatment of meconium ileus. Materials and Methods This study was performed, prospectively, at Dr. Sheikh and Akbar children's Hospitals, Mashhad University of Medical Science...

We extrapolate lattice calculations of electric charge radii of the spin-1/2 baryon octet to the physical regime. The extrapolation procedure incorporates chiral perturbation theory and heavy quark effective theory in the appropriate limits. In particular, this procedure includes the non-analytic, logarithmic terms from pion loops. The electric charge radii of the nucleons and Σ − obtained from...

The cross section for the production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in association with a high-pT hadronic jet, calculated in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), is presented. The expectations for the hadronic cross section at the Large Hadron Collider are discussed using reasonable kinematical cuts. In particular the contributions from superpartner loops to ...

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes, for instance, groups and commutative Moufang loops. We study uniquely 2-divisible automorphic loops, particularly automorphic loops of odd order, from the point of view of the associated Bruck loops (motivated by Glauberman’s work on uniquely 2-divisible Moufang loops) and the associated L...

A loop of order $n$ possesses at least $3n^2-3n+1$ associative triples. However, no $n>1$ that achieves this bound seems to be known. If the is involutory, then it $3n^2-2n$ Involutory loops with triples can obtained by prolongation certain maximally nonassociative quasigroups whenever $n-1$ a prime greater than or equal $13$ $n-1=p^{2k}$, $p$ an odd prime. For orders $n\le 9$ minimum number re...

A loop identity is of Bol-Moufang type if two of its three variables occur once on each side, the third variable occurs twice on each side, and the order in which the variables appear on both sides is the same, viz. ((xy)x)z = x(y(xz)). Loop varieties defined by one identity of Bol-Moufang type include groups, Bol loops, Moufang loops and C-loops. We show that there are exactly 14 such varietie...

We study the commuting graph on elements of odd prime order in finite simple groups. The results are used in a forthcoming paper describing the structure of Bruck loops and Bol loops of exponent 2.

Ž . We consider a general class of intersecting loop models in d dimensions, including those related to high-temperature expansions of well-known spin models. We find that the loop models exhibit some interesting features – often in the ‘‘unphysical’’ region of parameter space where all connection with the original spin Hamiltonian is apparently lost. For a particular ns2, ds2 model, we establi...
