hypersensitivity reactions to natural rubber latex have increased recently, especially among people with high exposure to latex allergens. hypersensitivity reactions to latex are related to many conditions like occupational asthma. our study was performed to determine the prevalence of hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex and potential food cross reactions in operation room personnel in shi...

We start by giving a brief description of the classical Chinese remainder theorem for integers, after whichwe define the greatest common divisor of two polynomials and congruences modulo a polynomial. These concepts allow us to state and prove the Chinese remainder theorem for polynomials. After presenting some important consequences of that theorem, we give its applications to the factorizatio...

Objectives: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is now the most common type of nerve compression neuropathies constituting about (90%) of the neuropathic disorders. To attain the optimal recovery following the operation, a rehabilitation intervention is urgent. This study aims at investigating the efficacy of short and long term rehabilitation interventions following Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) on mot...

Abstract Background Current clinical risk scores are able to predict late complication in adults after atrial switch operation (AtrSO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA), but a large heterogeneity course remains. Purpose To study whether common genetic factors predictive outcome and provide added value an existing score TGA-AtrSO patients. Methods This multicenter examined associatio...

background: successful rehabilitation of cardiac surgery patients should include consideration of their sexual activity, but there is paucity of data regarding this matter. objective: this study determined the incidence and type of sexual dysfunction in our patients. materials and methods: two hundred-seventy nine men with age under 70 years old who had coronary artery bypass graft (cabg), valv...

background: sexual dysfunction is one of the most common problems in men after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). etiology of sexual dysfunction in these patients may be psychological or organic due to hormonal changes. objective: the purpose was to evaluate the incidence and type of sexual dysfunction and changes in serum concentration of sex hormones in male patients undergoing on-pump cabg...

Complex tensor contraction expressions arise in accurate electronic structure models in quantum chemistry, such as the coupled cluster method. Transformations using algebraic properties of commutativity and associativity can be used to significantly decrease the number of arithmetic operations required for evaluation of these expressions. Operation minimization is an important optimization step...
