We report an instance of critical ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a highly responsive in-vitro fertilization patient despite the preventive measure of a 4 day 'coast' interval during which no gonadotrophins were administered while gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist therapy continued until serum oestradiol concentrations fell below 3000 pg/ml.

A patient with long-standing ischaemic heart disease and severe low output congestive cardiac failure received numerous diuretics, which gradually became ineffective. Resistant oedema was treated by adding demeclocycline to the current diuretic regime of frusemide and metolazone. Diuresis resulted, oedema disappeared and body weight fell. This drug combination was continued without complication...

Several authors have examined connections between permutations which avoid 132, continued fractions, and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. In this paper we prove analogues of some of these results for permutations which avoid 1243 and 2143. Using tools developed to prove these analogues, we give enumerations and generating functions for permutations which avoid 1243, 2143, and certain a...

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2014;55:1386–1392. DOI: 10.1167/iovs.13-13340 PURPOSE. Test–retest variability (TRV) limits our ability to detect clinically significant changes in visual acuity (VA). We wanted to compare the effect of scor...

When considering real-world applications of robot control with visual servoing, both 3D information and a high feedback rate are required. We have developed a 3D target tracking system with a 1ms feedback rate using two high-speed vision systems called Column Parallel Vision (CPV) systems. To obtain 3D information, such as position, orientation, and shape parameters of the target object, a feat...

Most existing solar atlases cover a continent or a country with a spatial resolution coherent with such visualization. These atlases generally depict yearly sum of Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI). Thus they give a good idea of the large scale solar trends, which are particularly suited for an application of identification of wide areas of high solar potential. However, these large scale atl...

We investigated age-related improvement in speed and accuracy of complex language comprehension with 361 children attending kindergarten and the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Language comprehension was measured using both the neuropsychological procedure proposed by Luria (1966, 1980) and an adapted version of the Token Test. Levels of short-term memory and verbal intelligence were contro...

Until the results of several statin trials are available, it is recommended that the current indications and usage of ezetimibe be continued.
