the aim of this study was to find any structural differences between the digital pads of forelimbs and hind limbs as well as more careful investigation of the internal and external structures of the toe-pad. in this study, pad morphology and cytology in litoria caerulea is described using sem, tem and light microscopy. at the gross anatomical level, toe-pads in hind limbs were subdivided into m...

We report the results of a new amblyopia treatment device used in 7 children with anisometropic amblyopia. The Occlu-pad was created by removing the polarizing film layer from the liquid crystal display screen of an iPad Air (Apple Inc, Cupertino, CA). Patients were asked to wear special glasses that contained a polarizing filter for their amblyopic eye and a light reduction filter for their no...

A comparison between commercial cellulose evaporative cooling pad and pads manufactured with three alternative materials was made for environmental conditions typical of tropical countries. Wind tunnel tests were carried out to compute the convective heat mass transfer coefficients measure pressure drop across each pad, obtaining expressions that can be used as reference future simulations. Usi...

In this study, a functional vest which can be worked by manuel without any starting system was designed and a prototype was produced for peoples cooling requirement. This system was made of a vortex tube, knee pad, linear motion mechanism with 3 members and vest. While walking, depending on knee’s movement, a piston at linear motion mechanism was moved front and backward. This front and back mo...

We describe a collection of Pad e-type methods for accelerating the convergence of sequence of functions. The construction and connections of Pad e’s methods with other similar methods are given. We examine the e ectiveness of these new methods, namely integral Pad e approximant, modi ed Pad e approximant and squared Pad e approximant together with the well-established methods, namely functiona...

Two ruthenium-based pre-catalysts containing an ionic tag covalently connected to a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand are reported. These novel complexes, bearing a polar benzimidazolium group, are air-stable and can be easily prepared from commercially available reagents. The quaternary benzimidazolium tag allows the efficient separation of ruthenium waste from the metathesis product after r...

To describe prevalence and impact of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), data were collected over 5 months from 6 Middle Eastern countries. Patients were divided into 2 groups (with and without PAD). Out of 6705 consecutive ACS patients, PAD was reported in 177 patients. In comparison to non-PAD, PAD patients were older and more likely to have cardi...

BACKGROUND Data on the natural history of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are scarce and are focused primarily on clinical symptoms. Using noninvasive tests, we assessed the role of traditional and novel risk factors on PAD progression. We hypothesized that the risk factors for large-vessel PAD (LV-PAD) progression might differ from small-vessel PAD (SV-PAD). METHODS AND RESULTS Between 199...
