Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease in which chronic hyperglycemia can lead to a number of different early and late complications. The high prevalence of the disease with its heterogenic variety of symptoms demands interdisciplinary care including many specialties. Therapy options can be very successful here. Therefore, good knowledge of the clinical picture is absolutely relevant for up-a...

Hand infections can be associated with considerable morbidity. Expeditious treatment is needed to minimize permanent dysfunction, loss of work, and medical cost. Hand infections can affect the skin, subcutaneous tissues, fascia, subfascial and synovial spaces, joints, and bone. Pathogens include a variety of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, and mycoplasmata. Management frequently involves rest...

In constructing a general purpose programming language, a key issue is providing a sufficient set of data types and associated operations in a manner that permits both natural problem-oriented notation and very efficient implementation. The language ELI contains a number of features specifically designed to simultaneously satisfy both requirements. The resulting treatment of data types Includes...

We extend Levy’s call-by-push-value (CBPV) analysis from simple to dependent type theory (DTT) in order to study the interaction between computational effects and dependent types. We define the naive system of dependently typed CBPV, dCBPV-, and its extension with a principle of Kleisli extensions for dependent functions, dCBPV+. We investigate these systems from the points of view of syntax, c...

Shock is the clinical state resulting from poor supply of oxygen to the tissues, or the inability of the tissues to use oxygen. Shock is a mechanism of the body to attempt to return itself to ‘normal’. Shock progresses from a compensated stage, to decompensation and then becomes irreversible. Thus sensible intervention is likely to be successful in those animals in compensated and early decompe...

Pain is the most common symptom of disease, which accompanies us from an early age. It is a protective mechanism to which the body responds to harmful stimulus. The definition of pain states that it is a subjective sensory and emotional experience. It is connected to the stimulus that it invokes and is also based on the observation of psychological interpretation of the phenomena taking place. ...
