A reversal of a vasectomy is required in about 3% of men who undergo vasectomy. We set out to examine the relationships between the age at which vasectomy was performed and the interval before subsequent reversal within the context of the armed forces. Thirty seven patients were identified from hospital records, as having undergone a reversal of vasectomy in the preceding two years, and thirty ...

Vasectomy is the method of contraception chosen by more than 500,000 American men annually, and by upwards of 8% of married couples worldwide. However, following the procedure, nearly 20% of men express the desire for children in the future, and approximately 2-6% of American men will ultimately undergo vasectomy reversal (VR). VR is a complex microsurgical procedure. Intraoperative decision-ma...

PURPOSE In the present study, we aimed to identify the incidence of fever in patients after subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy and to evaluate the clinical factors associated with the occurrence of the fever. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the cases of patients who underwent subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy (group A) under spinal anesthesia. In addition, we ...

The core idea of integrating the treatment of lane reversals and crossing elimination in evacuation network design is illustrated by the examples in Figure 1, which show how controlling lane entries and turning movements at intersections can create uninterrupted flow conditions for specific evacuation paths. The intersections must be expanded into subnetworks, as shown in Figure 2, to model an ...

This study evaluated the generalization, maintenance, and negative side-effects of Habit Reversal (HR) and Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviour (DRO) in the elimination of thumb-sucking. Thirty children who sucked their thumbs or fingers excessively were randomly assigned to a HR, DRO or wait-list control group. Observation data were collected in three observation settings. Both proced...

Previous behavioral research has revealed a positivity effect that occurs with aging, with older adults focusing more on positive information and less on negative emotional stimuli as compared to young adults. Questions have been raised as to whether this effect exists in the rapid detection of information or whether it operates only at later stages of processing. In the present study, we used ...
