pain management is crucially important in the postoperative period as it increases patient comfort and satisfaction. the primary outcome of present study was to evaluate the effect of sufentanil added to hyperbaric bupivacaine solution 0.25% in transversus abdominis plane (tap) block, on postoperative analgesic consumption. fifty asa physical status i–ii term primiparous single-tone pregnant wo...

We present circuits and techniques which allow the extraction of fine-grained timing information using a simple, scan-based, test-access port such as the JTAG/IEEE 1149 standard. We go on to show how these techniques can be combined with other simple circuits for post-fabrication timing control. These techniques open up opportunities to perform timing oriented tests through TAP control. Further...

task assignment problem (tap) involves assigning a number of tasks to a number of processors in distributed computing systems and its objective is to minimize the sum of the total execution and communication costs, subject to all of the resource constraints. tap is a combinatorial optimization problem and np-complete. this paper proposes a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving tap in a h...

conclusions open gastrostomy was successfully performed under subcostal tap block with small dose fentanyl supplementation. the subcostal tap block is considered a useful anesthetic choice in surgery for high risk patients. introduction many papers have reported that tap block provides effective postoperative analgesia, but the sole use of tap block for surgical anesthesia has been rarely repor...

Expression of transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is often lost in metastatic carcinomas, resulting in defective antigen processing and presentation and escape of the cancer cells from immune surveillance. In this study, the nature of TAP deficiencies in tumors was investigated. By chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we showed that the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the T...
