BACKGROUND AND AIMS The effect of therapeutic circumcision in men for preventing recurrences of herpes genitalis remains largely unelucidated despite its well documented albeit conflicting role in reducing the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including genital herpes. METHODS Twenty volunteer adult males with a history of recurrent herpes genitalis were included in the study...

PURPOSE To evaluate the differences between three methods of classification of recurrences in patients with head and neck tumours treated with Radiation Therapy (RT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 367 patients with head and neck tumours were included in the study. Tumour recurrences were delineated in the CT images taken during patient follow-up and deformable registration was used to transfer this v...

The results of quantum photoabsorption calculations are presented for H, K, and Cs atoms in static electric fields. The recurrence spectra for ^Lz&Þ0 show features at scaled actions an order of magnitude shorter than for any classical closed orbit of this system. Two interesting manifestations are presented, and some of the systematics of the peak strengths are explored. These features suggest ...

INTRODUCTION Bell's palsy in known as the most common cause of facial paralysis, determined by the acute onset of lower motor neuron weakness of the facial nerve with no detectable cause. With a lifetime risk of 1 in 60 and an annual incidence of 11-40/100,000 population, the condition resolves completely in around 71% of the untreated cases. Clinical trials performed for Bell's palsy have repo...

The long run behavior of a linear recurrence is investigated using standard results from probability theory. In a recent paper [1] in the American Mathematical Monthly, the authors look at several distinct approaches to studying the convergence and limit L of a sequence (xn) given by a linear recurrence. Our approach is to use probability to study the same sequence. The nth term xn of the seque...

We give explicit solutions to two longstanding problems on coupled second–order recurrences.

In this paper, by using the Bernoulli numbers and exponential complete Bell polynomials, we establish four general asymptotic expansions for hyperfactorial functions ∏ k=1 n k q , which have only odd power terms or even terms. We derive recurrences parameter sequences in these give some special recurrences.
