Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare scapular kinematics during elevation phase of abduction, flexion, and scapular plane elevation phase between fifteen persons with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) and thirteen persons without it. Methods: Values of scapular kinematics include scapular superior and lateral translations, upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior t...

Entry by spinoffs from incumbent firms is investigated for the laser industry. A model in which spinoffs exploit knowledge from their parents is constructed to explain the market conditions conducive to spinoffs, the types of firms that spawn spinoffs, and the relationship of spinoffs to their parents. The model is tested using detailed data on all laser entrants from the start of the industry ...

Introduction: Despite the importance of curriculum analysisfor internal refinement of a programme, the approach for sucha step in under-described in the literature. This article describesthe analysis of the medical curriculum at the Faculty of Medicine,University of Gezira (FMUG). This analysis is crucial in the eraof innovative medical education since introducing new curriculaand curricular ch...

Introduction: Swallowing disorder or dysphagia is a common complication after conventional total thyroidectomy. Traditional dysphagia therapy (TDT) has long been a routine rehabilitation program for patients with dysphagia; however, there is no evidence to support the efficacy of this approach in patients with post-thyroidectomy dysphagia. Regarding this, the purpose of the current study ...

We show polynomial-time quantum algorithms for the following problems: The SIS, LWE, and EDCP problems in their standard forms are as hard solving lattice worst case. However, variants that we can solve not parameter regimes known to be worst-case problems. Still, no classical or were of SIS LWE consider. For EDCP, our algorithm slightly extends result Ivanyos et al. (2018). Our use existing re...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether incidence of impaired cognitive screening status is higher in the southern Stroke Belt region of the United States than in the remaining United States. METHODS A national cohort of adults age ≥45 years was recruited by the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study from 2003 to 2007. Participants' global cognitive status was assessed...

BACKGROUND Although working smoke alarms halve deaths in residential fires, many households do not keep alarms operational. We tested whether theory-based education increases alarm operability. METHODS Randomised multiarm trial, with a single arm randomly selected for use each day, in low-income neighbourhoods in Maryland, USA. Intervention arms: (1) Full Education combining a health belief m...
