Optimal Storage Resource Allocation for Large HENP Databases Jinbaek Kim and Arie Shoshani Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ([email protected], [email protected]) Abstract Large High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP) databases are commonly stored on robotic tape systems because of cost considerations. Later, selected subsets of the data are cached into disk caches for analysis or da...

Intra-urethral Prolene tape erosion is a rare postoperative complication of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) plasty. In cases reported in the literature, intra-urethral tape positioning has been diagnosed by urethroscopy as late as 3-12 months after the procedure. Introital ultrasound using a vaginal sector scanner allows for the non-invasive assessment of the position of the Prolene tape in rel...

Elastic Therapeutic (Kinesio Tape) has rapidly become a recognised therapeutic modality in many musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. This tape, applied with a certain amount of stretch to its own paper backing is known under many names making research into it a challenging task. Its recoil properties make it a very suitable tool to assist in current scoliosis management. The studies of t...

Sucre municipality is a large, densely populated marginal area in the eastern part of Caracas, Venezuela that consistently has more cases of tuberculosis than other municipalities in the country. To identify the neighborhoods in the municipality with the highest prevalence of tuberculosis, and determine whether the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain distribution in this municipality is different...

OBJECTIVES Complications of polypropylene pubovaginal tension-free tape slings (TVT, SPARC, and others), such as erosion into the bladder or chronic pain attributed to the mesh sling are rare events; however, when they occur, it may necessitate removal of the sling. To date, removal through a laparotomy incision or by operative cystoscopy has been the most common approach. We present 5 cases of...

OBJECTIVE To establish whether positive suggestions given to a patient under general anaesthesia reduce postoperative pain and analgesic requirements. DESIGN Prospective double blind randomised study. SETTING Operating theatre and gynaecology ward of a teaching hospital. PATIENTS 63 Woman undergoing elective abdominal hysterectomy were randomised to be played either a tape of positive sug...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on the edema and pain when applying transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven patients who were diagnosed with lymphedema were selected as the subjects of the study. The experimental group received transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment on edema regions three times per week for four...

[Purpose] The aim of this paper was to report the efficacy of kinesiology taping for recovery from wrist pain and limited range of motion (ROM) in a physical therapist with repetitive strain injuries. [Subjects] A 32 year-old male physical therapist developed recurring severe pain in the dominant wrist and limited active ROM with extremely painful supination. [Methods] The kinesiology tape was ...
