We have studied fine-scale temporal variations in the arrival profiles of approximately 20 keV nucleon-1 to approximately 2 MeV nucleon-1 ions from impulsive solar flares using instrumentation on board the Advanced Composition Explorer spacecraft at 1 AU between 1997 November and 1999 July. The particle events often had short-timescale ( approximately 3 hr) variations in their intensity that oc...

background: to evaluate relation between air pollution and rate of flare and   hospital admission among ibd patients. methods: during a 10 months period, the number and average duration of hospitalization of patients admitted in gi ward due to ibd flare were recorded in an industrial capital city. concomitantly the level of 4 major air pollutants including so2, co, no2 and o3 measured and the c...

We investigate the temporal behavior of flares in the NIR and millimeter regime of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center, observed on 2005 July 31 at the Keck II telescope, the Very Large Telescope, and the Submillimeter Array. The time lags between a VLT NIR flare and SMA millimeter flare as well as between three quasi-simultaneous Keck NIR flares are quantified th...

introduction: acute pain and swelling following endodontic treatment are challenges for patients and dentists. according to previous studies, the incidence of flare-ups increases after endodontic treatment of teeth with necrotic pulp. calcium hydroxide is currently used as a multipotential medicament in root canal therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and severity of flar...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore patients' experiences of RA daily life while on modern treatments. METHODS The methods of this study comprised semi-structured interviews with 15 RA patients, analysed using inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS Four themes suggest patients experience life with RA along a continuum from RA in the background to the foreground of their lives...

Abstract. Solar flare sympathy is the triggering of a flare in one active region by a flare in another. Statistical tests for flare sympathy have returned varying results. However, existing tests have relied on flaring rates in active regions being constant in time, or else have attempted to model the rate variation, which is a difficult task. A simple test is described which is independent of ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two irrigants on decreasing the pain and swelling at different times after treatment of necrotic pulp. materials and methods: fifty patients with single canal tooth and necrotic pulp were selected and divided into two groups, twenty-five in each. rotary files were used for preparing the canals and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate an...

"SEQUAH ON CLAPHAM COMMON" is the legend attached to a small Victorian oil-painting in the Wellcome Institute library (plate 1).1 The setting, Clapham Common, is known to Londoners as a grassy open space a mile or two south of the river Thames, but the name "Sequah" today means, to most people, nothing. Yet for a brief period around 1890, Sequah was perhaps the most celebrated medical operator ...

background : a significant number of patients who receive palliative irradiation for painful bone metastases experience pain flare, defined as a distressing transient increase in pain not immediately controlled by additional analgesics. this pain is postulated to be due to edema at the onset of radiotherapy. this study aims to compare the incidence of bone pain flare among patients who receive ...

BACKGROUND Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is characterised by fluctuating periods of minimal disease activity and 'flare'. Flare is an important outcome variable impacting the disease burden associated with SLE. The objective of this study was to obtain population-based utility values for varying severities of flare to measure the impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Australi...
