PURPOSE This study tested the feasibility of using an upright eyedrop bottle (UEB), a device designed to assist patients with eyedrop placement without reclining their head. PATIENTS AND METHODS Experienced eyedrop users were enrolled who answered "yes" to the question, "Do you ever have trouble getting your eyedrops in?" After being shown a multimedia presentation and answering a questionnai...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests an association of breastfeeding with a maternal feeding style (MFS) that is less controlling than formula feeding, which, in turn, may improve a child's self-regulation of eating. This study examines associations of bottle-feeding practices during infancy with MFS and children's eating behavior (CEB) at 6 years old. METHODS We linked data from the Infant Feeding P...

statement of problem: following the increasing use of composites in restoring anterior and posterior teeth, problems due to its technique sensitivity have become a major concern. one of these problems is the possibility of contamination of dentin with saliva, blood and/or gingival fluid in different stages of bonding procedure, even with application of different methods of isolation. however, b...

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of bottle and can openers, operating postures on flexion angles of the hand; muscles activities and subjective rating when opened bottle caps and cans. Twenty participants performed two-bottle uncapping and two can opening tasks with five bottles and can openers on two operating postures (i.e. standing and sitting postures). In addition, the...

The effects of dl-cathinone on milk intake and motor activity were investigated in bottle- and cannula-fed rats. Acute injections of cathinone produced dose-dependent increases in activity in both groups but only produced decreased intake in bottle-fed rats. With chronic injections, tolerance to the suppression of intake developed in the bottle-fed group, accompanied by decreased activity. Afte...

It is known that for every nonorientable surface there are infinitely many (large) snarks that can be polyhedrally embedded on that surface. We take a dual approach to the embedding of snarks on the Klein bottle, and investigate edge-colorings of 6-chromatic triangulations of the Klein bottle. In the process, we discover the smallest snarks that can be polyhedrally embedded on the Klein bottle....
