Tuberculosis of the tonsils is by no means a common condition, Mullin (1923), for example, in analysing 400 tonsillectomies found only 4.25 per cent cases of tuberculous tonsils. The present study is based on 2,477 tonsillectomies in the Madras General Hospital. This series covers a period of five years from January 1928 to December 1932. We, however, feel that this investigation is incomplete ...

Summary Understanding pathogen-agrosystem interaction is particularly essential when applying a control method to minimize pathogen prevalence prior plant infection. To meet this requirement, frequency of major root rot pathogens isolated from bean and seed, their soil populations were examined in farmers’ fields. Multivariate analyses evidenced more frequent isolations Fusarium solani Rhizocto...

In this study, an integrated system dynamics model was developed for scenario analysis in sub-sectors of the Kheirabad River Basin southwestern Iran where managing water resources is seriously challenging due to population growth and periodic drought. Afterward, variability demand supply under baseline different management policies, including conservation pricing, evaluated. Findings illustrate...

Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant that prevents coagulation. There are presently high and low molecular heparins as well as synthetic pentasaccharide inhibitors. Given its ubiquitous use in sensitive medical states, there is a high concern for safety with this drug. Heparin can induce several distinct immune-mediated reactions. There are several options to consider when heparin allergy occ...

After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our understanding. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be described using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem from the angle of Quantum Information, pro...

Late-preterm newborns accounted for 8.7% of all US births in 2009, while in Italy, according to Euro-Peristat Report 2010, rate of preterm live births between 32 and 36 weeks accounts for 6.4%: therefore late-preterm incidence is around 5% [1]. In the literature is reported that late preterm infants are at increased risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity, including feeding problems, hyperbili...
