Procaine amide hydrochloride was first introduced clinically by Mark et al. (1950). They drew attention to its effectiveness in the control of ventricular arrhythmias, especially paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. This has since been amply confirmed. It is the drug of choice in the treatment of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, taking precedence over the more toxic and unpredictable quinidin...

In developing countries like South Africa processed geographic information systems (GIS) data on land suitability, is often not available for land use management. Data in this article is based on a published article "The strategically located land index support system for humans settlements land reform in South Africa" (Musakwa et al., 2017) [1]. This article utilities data from Musakwa et al. ...

We extend the Tiny-OT two party protocol of Nielsen et al (CRYPTO 2012) to the case of n parties in the dishonest majority setting. This is done by presenting a novel way of transferring pairwise authentications into global authentications. As a by product we obtain a more efficient manner of producing globally authenticated shares, in the random oracle model, which in turn leads to a more effi...

One of the first articles that have addressed lattice quantizers in practical applications is the work of Sayood et al. (Sayood et al., 1984). The lattice quantization has been strongly stimulated by the articles of Conway and Sloane (Conway & Sloane, 1982), (Conway & Sloane, 1983) presenting fast algorithms for nearest neighbor search algorithms. The principal factors that have brought the lat...

To the Editor: Michowitz et al present an interesting study on the prevalence of familial atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). They report a prevalence of 127 out of 10 000 of familial AVNRT with a likely autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance (with incomplete penetrance). A potentially important question is whether all the observed cases represent “pure” familial AVNRT or w...

the topic of “trilogical denotations” (al-dalalat al-thalath) appears in avicenna logic system following the development of the discourse on “terms subject” (al-mabahith al-alfad) in his system. it was avicenna, who, for the first time, paid more attention to this subject and was responsible for its extended discussion. among the issues to which he addresses is the one on trilogical denotations...

The report on “neurocysticercosis and afebrile seizure” is very interesting. SAHU et al. noted that “neurocysticercosis should be suspected in every child presenting with afebrile seizure especially with a radio-imaging supportive diagnosis in tropical developing countries or areas endemic for teniasis/cysticercosis”. In fact, neurocysticercosis is a very important tropical neurological infecti...
