Club drug use is common among populations with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and populations at high risk for HIV infection. Club drugs have a myriad of acute and chronic medical consequences. Club drug-related visits to the emergency department and admissions for treatment of substance use have increased dramatically over the past 15 years. Most epidemiological data support the role of cl...

(a) Definition of a ∆-system, statement and proof of the ∆-system lemma. (b) Statement of MA (Martin’s Axiom) and MAκ, proof that MAω holds and MAc fails. (c) Definition of a club and a stationary subset of κ, of the club filter and proof that the club filter on a regular cardinal κ is κ-complete. (d) Statement and proof of the Pressing Down Lemma. i. An application: Statement and proof of Thom...

Good balance, flexibility, and strength are all required to maintain a steady stance during the kinematic chain to produce successful golf shots. When the body can produce more power, more club head speed is generated. This formation of power translates into greater distance and accuracy. Athletes today are seeking exercise programs to enhance these qualities of their golf swing. The purpose of...

Background. The brand equity is raised as one key subject in founding the value creation for the brand. Nowadays, the sports managers are searching for creating a very powerful brand and favorable for their own organizations obtaining one long term and highlighting the consumers’ athletic experiences and the continuous relationship with them. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to focus ...

OBJECTIVE The present report is the eighth in a series of sequential tutorials entitled "Tutorials in Clinical Research." The objective of the report is to provide the reader with information to create or refine a journal club. STUDY DESIGN Tutorial. METHODS The authors met weekly for 3 months and discussed the features of a journal club that would be of interest to otolaryngologists. A Med...

While the golf swing is a complex whole body movement requiring coordination of all joints to achieve maximum ball velocity, the kinetic contribution of the lower extremities to club head velocity has not been quantified, despite the perception that the legs are a primary source of power during the swing. Mechanical power at the hips, knees, and ankles was estimated during the downswing phase o...

congenital radial club hand is an intercalary or terminal deficiency characterized by radial deviation of the hand, marked shortening of the forearm, and generalized underdevelopment of the extremity. we performed centralization of the ulna in 12 forearms of 10 patients with severe congenital radial club hands. the mean follow up was 42 months after operation (24 to 68 months). the mean age at ...

Macroscopic brain networks have been shown to display several properties of an efficient communication architecture. In light of global communication, the formation of a densely connected neural "rich club" of hubs is of particular interest, because brain hubs have been suggested to play a key role in enabling short communication pathways within neural networks. Here, analyzing the cat connecto...

Fixed Sprinklers (Concealed or Pop-up) This type of system has not been used on golf courses because the makers have never been able to convince the golf clubs that these systems are practicable. Hence it is the specialized makers of golf course sprinkling equipment who are the first to develop concealed-fixed position sprinklers for golf courses. At this writing, "Billy" Bell is installing ele...

The first documented journal club was organized in 1875 by William Osler at McGill University, to keep staff informed of medical science in a cost‐effective manner.[1] Nowadays, journal club has already become a common form of interactive education in hope to keep medical practitioners up‐to‐date of current literature, understand research design and statistics, and expand critical appraisal ski...
