PURPOSE OF REVIEW Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has long been held as the gold standard for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); however, there has been significant innovation in other less invasive alternative treatments for BPH in recent years. BPH treatment guidelines now recommend minimally invasive therapy be considered as a treatment option alongside TURP and ...

Background: This study was carried out to explore whether amnioscopy could help us to management of the uncertain date fetus to differ the prematurity from growth-restriction and assessment of post term pregnancies as well. Notify the meconium staining of amniotic fluid is another aspect of amnioscopy, too. Study Design: This was a descriptive study of 80 pregnant women from 2007 to 2008 at a u...

Abstract This article presents a typology of phonological, morphosyntactic, and lexical features illustrative factors conditioning the usage speakers writers Revived Manx, including substratal influence from English; language ideologies prevalent within revival movement, especially forms linguistic purism; language-specific Manx its orthography. Evidence is taken primarily corpus speech writing...

We report entanglement of a single atom's hyperfine spin state with its motional state in a time scale of less than 3 ns. We engineer a short train of intense laser pulses to impart a spin-dependent momentum transfer of ± 2 ħk. Using pairs of momentum kicks, we create an atomic interferometer and demonstrate collapse and revival of spin coherence as the motional wave packet is split and recombi...

British union revival strategies range from recruitment and US-style organising approaches and workplace partnerships through union mergers and restructuring to efforts to (re-)build political and institutional conduits. Social movement unionism (SMU), unionism which extends beyond concern with matters of job regulation to ‘reaching out’ to other groups to emphasise social justice aims, has nev...

We investigate the propagation of wave-packets on graphene in a perpendicular magnetic field and the appearance of collapses and revivals in the timeevolution of an initially localised wave-packet. The wave-packet evolution in graphene differs drastically from the one in an electron gas and shows a rich revival structure similar to the dynamics of highly excited Rydberg states. We present a nov...

In contrast with previous work emphasizing European influences on Modern Hebrew as compared to the Biblical Hebrew model adopted by the Hebrew revival movement, this article sets out to examine relevant typological features of Modern Hebrew in its own right. Taking the typological literature on Standard Average European as a starting point, it is argued that Modern Hebrew is in fact quite far f...

We analyze non-Markovian evolution of open quantum systems. It is shown that any dynamical map representing evolution of such a system may be described either by non-local master equation with memory kernel or equivalently by equation which is local in time. These two descriptions are complementary: if one is simple the other is quite involved, or even singular, and vice versa. The price one pa...

Despite a very strong synergy between Robotics and AI at their early beginning, the two fields progressed widely apart in the following decades. However, we are witnessing a revival of interest in the fertile domain of embodied machine intelligence, which is due in particular to the dissemination of more mature techniques from both areas and more accessible robot platforms with advanced sensory...

The effects of ventricular fibrillation and subsequent resuscitation on the microcirculation of the cerebral cortex were studied with microangiographic and fluorescent protein tracer techniques. Immediately after revival, a transient period of impaired cerebral perfusion occurred before complete recovery from circulatory arrest was obtained. A circulatory arrest of longer than ten minutes, foll...
