PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy in intraocular pressure (IOP) control and the tolerance of a topically administered fixed combination of timolol-brimonidine in 50 patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma. METHODS After determining a baseline IOP, the fixed combination timolol-brimonidine was used twice daily for two months, w...

Abstra t A vertex subset D of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex of G is either in D or is adja ent to a vertex in D. The paired domination problem on G asks for a minimumardinality dominating set S of G su h that the subgraph indu ed by S ontains a perfe t mat hing; motivation for this problem omes from the interest in nding a small number of lo ations to pla e pairs of mutually vis...

A dependent-samples t test (a.k.a. matched or paired-samples, matched-pairs, samples, or subjects, simple repeated-measures or within-groups, or correlated groups) assesses whether the mean difference between paired/matched observations is significantly different from zero. That is, the dependent-samples t test procedure evaluates whether there is a significant difference between the means of t...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether there are some clinical benefits by placing single dental implants either 0.5 or 1.5 mm subcrestally in healed bone crests. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty partially edentulous patients requiring two single implant-supported crowns had both sites randomly allocated either to 0.5 mm or 1.5 mm subcrestal implant placement according to a split-mouth design at six centres....

Abstract A set S of vertices in a graph G is paired dominating if every vertex adjacent to and the subgraph induced by contains perfect matching (not necessarily as an subgraph). The domination number, $$\gamma _{\mathrm{pr}}(G)$$ γ pr ( G</mml:m...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in children with ADHD. METHODS MethodsaaThe sample consisted of 48 ADHD children and sex and age matched control chil...

Objective: Exercise and nutrition as life style modification strategies for the prevention and control of diabetes are considered. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of saffron consumption and aerobic exercises on serum levels of Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) and Troponin T in type2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experime...

The topspin forehand is the most frequent and effective shot in top-level table tennis matches. present study assesses biomechanical differences stroke technique when incoming ball different rotations. Eight national level-1 male athletes (176.6 ± 4.8 cm, 70.8 6.6 kg, 20.9 2.4 yr) performed two kinds of techniques—topspin strokes against (AT) backspin (AB) balls, respectively. kinematic paramet...

Background Palpable nodules in the thyroid are present 4-7% of general population. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is a safe and cost-effective method choice for evaluating nodules. Aspirated samples can be manually spread directly onto slide stained conventional smear method. The liquid-cased has been recently introduced, which an automated machine-based method, yielding single with clean back...
