conclusions our results in terms of asami scores are comparable with the published literature. furthermore, our return to work is better than most european studies (63%). all our patients said they would have the procedure again. we attribute this success partly to the multidisciplinary approach. we recommend early referral to a dedicated unit if there is any evidence of a non-::union::. result...

attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is a highly heritable neuropsychiatric disorder associated with significant impairments in occu pational, academic, neuropsychological, and social functioning. central nervous system (cns) stimulants are recommended as first-line medication therapy for children. cns stimulants include formulations of methylphenidate and amphetamine derivatives and...

background dyspepsia is a common symptom with an extensive differential diagnosis and a heterogeneous pathophysiology. many studies have reported that dyspeptic symptoms are associated with ingestion of some foods. current treatments for functional dyspepsia have generally ignored the potential role of diet. method this cross-sectional study was done at the gastroenterology department of shahid...

in this study, application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) in forecasting three perspectives (1, 2, and 4 years) ahead of iran’s agricultural products export was compared with arima as the most common econometrics linear forecasting method. for this purpose, iran’s agricultural products export revenues related to 1959-2010, and forecast performance measures such as r2, mad, and...

In this paper has been studied the wave equation in some non-classic cases. In the  rst case boundary conditions are non-local and non-periodic. At that case the associated spectral problem is a self-adjoint problem and consequently the eigenvalues are real. But the second case the associated spectral problem is non-self-adjoint and consequently the eigenvalues are complex numbers,in which two ...

multi-objective optimization is the simultaneous consideration of two or more objective functions that are completely or partially inconflict with each other. the optimality of such optimizations is largely defined through the pareto optimality. multiple objective integer linear programs (moilp) are special cases of multiple criteria decision making problems. numerous algorithms have been desig...

as eyal et al put forth in their piece, non-physician clinicians in sub-saharan africa and the evolving role of physicians, task-shifting across sub-saharan africa through non-physician clinicians (npcs) has led to an improvement in access to health services in the context of physician-shortages. here, we offer a commentary to the piece by eyal et al, concurring that physician’s roles should ev...

a group g is said to be a (pf)c-group or to have polycyclic-by-finite conjugacy classes, if g/c_{g}(x^{g}) is a polycyclic-by-finite group for all xin g. this is a generalization of the familiar property of being an fc-group. de falco et al. (respectively, de giovanni and trombetti) studied groups whose proper subgroups of infinite rank have finite (respectively, polycyclic) conjugacy classes. ...
