This prospective, analytical study was conducted in our university hospital from June 2010 to September 2011 and aimed to know the effect of abdominal compression on the transverse diameter of femoral vein using ultrasonography on stable patients in emergency room and intensive care units. All the stable patients in emergency room [ER] and in Intensive Care Units [ICUs] were included in the stu...

Melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells have recently been shown highly relevant to the non-image forming effects of light, through their direct projections on brain circuits that regulate alertness, mood and circadian rhythms. A quantitative assessment of functionality of the melanopsin-signaling pathway could be highly relevant in order to mechanistically understand individual difference...

In the northern hardwood region of North America managing for late-successional forest habitats and functions is an important element of ecosystem management. This study tests the hypothesis that uneven-aged practices can be modified to accelerate rates of late-successional forest development. An approach, termed ‘‘structural complexity enhancement’’ (SCE), is compared against conventional unev...

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Early childhood Caries is a distressing situation for patients andparents and pediatric dentists. Aim: current research was carried out to evaluatefracture resistance bond strength different types of dentin posts compared tofiber posts. Materials Methods: This Current in-vitro study conducted on48 extracted primary incisors. Samples were split randomly into 4 groups 12 for...

A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to minimize the number of messages communicated among processors per critical section. Understanding the behavior of tree diameter is useful, for example, in determining an upper bound on the expected number of links bet...

Let G be an edge weighted undirected graph. For every pair of nodes consider the shortest cycle containing these nodes in G. The cycle diameter of G is the maximum length of a cycle in this set. Let H be a directed graph obtained by directing the edges of G. The cycle diameter of H is similarly defined except for that cycles are replaced by directed closed walks. Is there always an orientation ...

When the lower alveolar nerve is affected by any mechanical, iatrogenic, neoplastic or inflammatory process, we can clinically see the appearance of typical trigeminal symptoms, together with typical radiological changes of the mandibular canal, consisting in widespread hypodensity, increase in diameter and disappearINDIRECT POST-IMPLANT LESIONS OF THE INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE.
