SUPERFICIAL ocular infections, for example blepharitis, are better treated by local applications than by systemic therapy. Local applications of antibiotic and chemotherapeutic agents are also of value in reducing the incidence of infection after corneal injury. Sulphacetamide is most commonly used but, although its value in the prevention of corneal infection is well established (Cameron, 1949...

We calculate a consolidated score for the 21 European countries included in the CDI to track their pursuit of development-friendly policies. In 2014 the Center for Global Development is launching a series of discussion papers for public consultation. Our goal is to press for a broader and more informed discussion about how European policies can improve. By the end of the year, we will synthesiz...

This opening chapter of the symposium takes a broad perspective on the question of privatisation. The other papers provide detailed discussions of particular sectors. There is considerable scope for further privatisation, with the particular aim of reducing sharply public sector claims on national output. Survey evidence indicates considerable opposition to further privatisations, particularly ...

One the most cited papers in astronomy is Ken Freeman's 1970 paper on exponential disks in galaxies. In this contribution I review what has been done in this area since then and what we can infer about systematic properties of disks in galaxies from surface photometry, HI synthesis observations and measurements of stellar kinematics. Most disks have radial truncations at 3.6 ± 0.6 radial scalel...

the object of this paper to derive certain sucient condi-tions for close-to-convexity of certain analytic functions dened on theunit disk

the aim of this paper is to prove some inequalities for p-valent meromorphic functions in thepunctured unit disk δ* and find important corollaries.

Exploiting vulnerabilities in the intracellular signaling pathways of tumor cells is a key strategy for the development of new drugs. The activation of cellular stress responses mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) allows cancer cells to survive outside their normal environment. Many proteins that protect cells against ER stress are active as protein disulfide isomerases (PDI) and the aim...

Background: Topical antimicrobial drugs are indicated for limited superficial pyodermitis treatment, although they are largely used as self-prescribed medication for a variety of inflammatory dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis. Monitoring bacterial susceptibility to these drugs is difficult, given the paucity of laboratory standardization. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of Staphyl...
