INTRODUCTION Loss of penile length is a recognized and common consequence of Peyronie's disease (PD). Traction therapy (TT+) has been reported to decrease post-op length loss as well as increase stretched penile length (SPL) prior to surgery. AIM The aim of this study was to study patient outcomes with penile length change and patient satisfaction after surgery following tunica albuginea plic...

This task is co-organized by Gemius SA, the leading Internet market research agency in Central and Eastern Europe. The problem objective is to predict user behaviour by characterising nature of user’s visit, i.e., the list categories of the visited Internet portal and the number of page views in each category. The challenge is accomplished with use of web trafic data from Polish web sites emplo...

Abstract We hypothesized the smoothness of border between inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer plexiform (OPL) associates with frequency macular edema (ME) recurrences secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Thirty-seven consecutive eyes BRVO treated anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections at 1-year follow-up were included. manually traced INL OPL within 1.5-mm verti...

BACKGROUND Overweight and atopic dermatitis (AD) are major health problems in most industrialised countries, but the relationship between overweight and AD in infants and young children is unclear. We investigated if weight-for-length at birth, in infancy and at two years, as well as early weight-gain velocity, are associated with the development of AD in early life. METHODS Cohort study of i...

We consider a polling system: a queueing system of N ≥ 1 queues with Poisson arrivals Q1, . . . , QN visited in a cyclic order (with or without switchover times) by a single server. For this system we derive the probability generating function Q(·) of the joint queue length distribution at an arbitrary epoch in a stationary cycle, under no assumptions on service disciplines. We also derive the ...
