OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of surgical treatment options for chronic subdural haematoma in contemporary neurosurgery according to evidence based criteria. METHODS A review based on a Medline search from 1981 to October 2001 using the phrases "subdural haematoma" and "subdural haematoma AND chronic". Articles selected for evaluation had at least 10 patients and less than 10% of patients...

using a sample fiom burr type xu distribution, bayes prediction intervals are derived for the maximum and minimum of a future sample fromthe same distribution, but in the presence of a single outlier of the type 8,8. the prior of q is assumed to be the gamma conjugate. a real example is given to illustrate the procedure. also, the comparison between the values of the prediction bounds for diffe...

<abstract><p>In this article, we make mathematical and practical contributions to the Bell-X family of absolutely continuous distributions. As a main member family, special distribution extending modeling perspectives famous Burr XII (BXII) is discussed in detail. It called Bell-Burr (BBXII) distribution. stands apart from other extended BXII distributions because its flexibility te...

Ratnoff and his coworkers recognised that factor XII (XII) stimulates cell growth and activates mitogen-activated protein kinase. We determined the receptor(s) for this function and the consequence of this signalling pathway. Investigations show that the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor serves as the XII binding site on cultured umbilical vein endothelial cells. When XII binds, it stimu...
