Hyperthyroid periodic paralysis (HPP) is a rare life threatening complication of hyperthyroidism commonly occurring in young Asian males but sporadically found in other races. It is characterised by hypokalemia and acute onset paraparesis with prevalence of one in one hundred thousand (1 in 100000). The symptoms resolve promptly with potassium supplementation. Nonselective beta blockers like pr...

‎three infinite families of finite abelian groups will be‎ ‎described such that each member of these families has‎ ‎the r'edei $k$-property for many non-trivial values of $k$‎.

an efficient and environmentally benign   method for the synthesis of aryl iodides have been developed by diazotization of aromatic amines with nano2 and nanosilica periodic acid (nano-spia) as a green catalyst via grinding followed by a sandmeyer iodination by ki under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. the ensuing aryl diazonium salts supported on nano-spia were sufficiently stable ...

The bifurcation analysis of a composite beam subjected to harmonic flapwise base excitation is studied when the ratio of flapwise and chordwise internal resonances is 1:2. Results are obtained by the numerical solution of modulation equations. Chracteristics of the response are investigated in terms of time history, phase portraits diagrams and bifurcation diagram of poincare maps. It is observ...

BACKGROUND Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a life-threatening channelopathy manifesting as recurrent episodes of hypokalemia and muscle weakness in the presence of hyperthyroidism. Recent findings indicate defects of inward rectifying K+ (Kir) channels are associated with some TPP patients. The associations are not only found in Caucasian population (mainly Brazilian), but also in Singap...

Sah, Rajan L., Robert G. Tsushima, and Peter H. Backx. Effects of local anesthetics on Na1 channels containing the equine hyperkalemic periodic paralysis mutation. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Cell Physiol. 44): C389–C400, 1998.—We examined the ability of local anesthetics to correct altered inactivation properties of rat skeletal muscle Na1 channels containing the equine hyperkalemic periodic paralysi...

Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis (THPP) is a rare complication of hyperthyroidism and an uncommon form of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Its differentiation of more common forms of periodic paralysis is important because aggressive treatment can place the patient at risk for rebound hyperkalemia. Treatment of the underlying thyroid dysfunction cures the muscle symptoms. Here we descri...

Aims. To report outcomes of the simultaneous surgical correction of vertical rectus paralysis combined with moderate-to-large angle horizontal strabismus. Methods. If a preoperative forced duction test was positive, antagonist muscle weakening surgery was performed, and then augmented partial rectus muscle transposition (APRMT) + partial horizontal rectus recession-resection was performed 2 mon...

The paper studies different variants of almost periodicity notion. We introduce the class of eventually strongly almost periodic sequences where some suffix is strongly almost periodic (=uniformly recurrent). The class of almost periodic sequences includes the class of eventually strongly almost periodic sequences, and we prove this inclusion to be strict. We prove that the class of eventually ...

This paper establishes the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) for a GARCH process with periodically time-varying parameters. We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a strictly periodically stationary solution for the periodic GARCH (P -GARCH) equation. As a result, it is shown that the moment of some posit...
