A bedside technique for evaluating the behavioural response of healthy neonates to pain was assessed. Thirty six term infants (median gestational age 40 weeks; median postnatal age 4 days) and 31 preterm infants (median gestational age 34 weeks; median postnatal age 4 days) were assessed at the cotside for their response to heel preparation and heel lance for routine blood sampling. The facial ...

Perampanel (PER) is the first-in-class selective, noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist that has been licensed and marketed as antiepileptic drug (AED) indicated for patients with partial-onset and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A positive effect was reported in some patients with epileptic myoclonic jerks in idiopathic genera...

Bothrops asper is the most dangerous poisonous snake in Southern Mexico and Central America. Its venom is known to produce myonecrosis. The myotoxins present in the venom penetrate muscle cells altering ionic transport through the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane causing an increase in the flow of calcium into the sarcoplasm resulting in a calcium overload. This calcium overload leads to phospho...

I briefly review the problems with previous investigations of supersymmetry breaking in string theory 1 at tree-level, at one-loop, and non-perturbatively. A variant of the original non-perturbative scenario is proposed, in which gaugino condensation takes place in two different strongly-interacting hidden-sector gauge groups. In the new scenario it is possible to generate a large hierarchy of ...

Automobiles are required to be even lighter for further achieving environmental protection through fuel economy improvement, as well as safety feature enhancement and drivability improvement. Automotive suspensions are also required to reduce their weight and thus more aluminum is being adopted. Aluminum forgings, in particular, are often applied because of their significant weight reduction ef...

An extensive growth in digital technology has resulted in tampering of image. Image plays an important role in today’s digital world. Powerful image editing tools has made it difficult to determine whether the image is authentic or forged. The main objective of this paper is to detect the forgery in which a part of the image is copied and pasted on to same image without the information of the o...

An ordinary person always has confidence in the integrity of visual imagery and believes it without any doubt. But today's digital technology has eroded this trust. A relatively new method called image forgery is extensively being used everywhere. This paper proposes a method to depict forged regions in the digital image. The results for the proposed work are obtained using the MATLAB version 7...
