A double-blind controlled clinical trial of crossover design was conducted in 26 volunteers suffering from migraine. Of 20 subjects who completed the trial, 16 had fewer attacks on amitriptyline than on placebo. Amitriptyline was found to have the greatest effect in reducing attacks with a short warning and in which no specific cause could be recognized. It had least effect in attacks with a lo...

Twenty years ago it was reasonable to predict that the size and ambition of software products would be severely limited by the unreliability of their component programs. Crude estimates suggest that professionally written programs delivered to the customer can contain between one and ten independently correctable errors per thousand lines of code; and any software error in principle can have sp...

594 P&T® • November 2010 • Vol. 35 No. 11 stopped the infusion. The patient was treated and experienced no long-term effects. The prescribing error escaped the attention of at least five staff members— the physician, the pharmacist, the pharmacy technician, and two nurses. The error was also able to slip through the system despite safeguards such as warning labels and double-checks. It is also ...

the objective of the present study was to compare single segment and double segment intacs rings in the treatment of post-lasik ectasia. in this interventional study, 26 eyes with post-lasik ectasia were assessed. ectasia was defined as progressive myopia regardless of astigmatism, along with topographic evidence of inferior steepening of the cornea after lasik. we excluded those with a history...

We reviewed 26 fractures involving the distal physis of the tibia to identify the patterns of formation and displacement of the subsequent growth disturbance lines. Twenty-one patients showed a regular "normal" pattern of line and healed with no deformity. Three patients had medical physeal arrest revealed by abnormal lines. Two other cases had a minor central physeal arrest without subsequent ...

We describe the $$\nu$$ -lines of curvature on an embedding double torus into $$\mathbb{R}^{4}$$ , defined as complete intersection a small sphere with polynomial hypersurface in where is gradient such polynomial. Through this analysis, we present description foliation lines embedding, image stereographic projection $$\mathbb{R}^{3}$$ .

OBJECTIVE To screen for warning signs of dysgraphia in schoolchildren at the sixth grade of elementary school. METHOD This was a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional cohort study performed with 630 schoolchildren assessed through the (adapted) Analytical Dysgraphia Inventory, which recognizes difficulties in writing through the tracing the graphics. RESULTS A total of 22% (n=138) of th...

This research paper focuses on the warning messages that are one of the last lines of defense against cybercriminals. The effectiveness of warnings in influencing users’ behavior when using low-trust (potentially malicious) software has not been adequately addressed by the prior research. Using the restrictive deterrence theory, supported by the Communication-Human Information Processing (C-HIP...
