There is limited consensus on the diagnosis and management of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm neonates. PDA remains one of the most common cardiovascular abnormalities in preterm neonates occurring in about a third of infants below 30 weeks gestation and up to 60% of infants less than 28 weeks. Shunting from the systemic to the pulmonary circulations, oftentimes referred to as ducta...

Even-cycle matroids are elementary lifts of graphic and even-cut cographic matroids. We present a polynomial algorithm to check if binary matroid is an even-cycle we matroid. These two algorithms rely on (to be described in pair follow-up papers) pinch-graphic.

The even-even Ytterbium isotopes lack spectroscopic information with the increase of neutron number and they are well deformed nuclei, presenting rotational properties. In this mass region nuclear chart predictions have shown rare phenomena related to structure, such as shape coexistence. work population excited states were investigated in Yb via 2n-transfer reaction 168-174Yb (18O, 16O) 170-17...

Two major health care problems in the general population of industrialized countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are obesity and Adult Onset or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The United Kingdom has the highest population obesity in Western Europe. Obesity in childhood and in women of childbearing age is also becoming a significant public health burden with negative shortand long-te...
