BACKGROUND There is controversy over whether improved survival of preterm infants has resulted in a higher incidence of severe (grade 3 or greater) retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). AIM To compare survival rates and rates of > or = stage 3 ROP-that is, with a high risk of sequelae-in preterm infants in five English cities where, anecdotally, the incidence of ROP is reported to show considerab...

Temperature from burning wood cribs will be simulated in this paper by subgrid scale model fire dynamics simulator. A baseline gas phase uncertainty is determined for simulating crib spread scenarios. This based on a sensitivity analysis of key input parameters and their subsequent effect output variables that are important spread. Effects different grid systems, computing domains moisture cont...

Background Intraductal (IDC) and cribriform (CRIB) histologies in prostate cancer have been associated with germline BRCA2 (gBRCA2) mutations small retrospective series, leading to the recommendation of genetic testing for patients IDC primary tumour. Patients methods To examine association gBRCA2 other tumour molecular features and/or histologies, we conducted a case–control study which tumour...

Case Description: After orthodontic diagnosis, treatment undertaken was the surgical removal of the mesiodens and the use of a palatal crib therapy in order to discontinue the thumb habit. Then, orthodontic brackets were bonded on maxillary central incisors and the diastema closed allowing the spontaneous irruption of the maxillary laterals incisors. When acceptable levels of overbite and overj...
