PURPOSE To study and correlate corneal sensation in patients with herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) with density and morphologic features of subbasal corneal nerves by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional, controlled, single-center study. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-one eyes with the diagnosis of acute (n = 7) or chronic (n = 24) HSK and their contralateral clinicall...

course of 594 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations. They occurred either alone: i6 cases (group I) or more often combined with congenital heart disease: IIO cases (group 2), about half of which were atrial septal defect. Angiographicfindings and pressure gradients were correlated in 33 cases. A minor gradient across thejunction of the main pulnonary artery with one of the branch pulmonary arteri...

in this paper, construction properties of branches in the root locus of a positive feedback system whose loop transfer function is not strictly proper have been investigated. we have introduced and proved the formulations for calculating the number of branches passing through infinity, point of intersection of the asymptotes on the real axis, and angle of these asymptotes with positive directio...

Branch predictors are widely used as an alternative to deal with conditional branches. Despite the high accuracy rates, misprediction penalties are still large in any superscalar pipeline. DCE, or Dynamic Conditional Execution, is a alternative to reduce the number of predicted branches by executing both paths of certain branches thus reducing the number of predictions and therefore the mispred...

The relation between the length of the main left coronary artery and the degree of atherosclerosis in its branches was studied by postmortem examination in 204 subjects aged 20 to 90 years. The findings suggest that in cases with a short main left coronary artery the atherosclerotic lesions in the anterior descending and circumflex branches appear earlier, progress faster at higher levels of se...
