In the semialgebraic range searching problem, we are given a set of n points in \({\mathbb {R}}^d \) and want to preprocess such that for any query belonging family constant complexity sets (Tarski cells), all intersecting can be reported or counted efficiently. When ranges composed simplices, problem is well-understood: it solved using S ( ) space with Q time \(S(n)Q(n)^d = \tilde{O}(n^d) wher...

Nurses at a devon mental health unit where an occupational therapist was stabbed to death by a patient have come under fire in the official report of the incident.

Unlike the penetrating injuries to the brain caused by missiles, injuries by stabbing are largely restricted to the wound tract. Early recognition, debridement and judicious antibiotic therapy can limit or prevent complications in the management of stab wounds. Among the common sequelae of stab wounds of the brain are pneumocephalus, meningitis, intracerebral hemorrhage and direct blood vessel ...

In this paper, we prove the problem of stabbing a set of disjoint bends by a convex stabber to be NP-hard. We also consider the optimization version of the convex stabber problem and prove this problem to be APX-hard for sets of line segments.

The most common symptom: 1. Chest pain Pain is the most common presenting complaint in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Pain is deep and visceral, adjectives commonly used to describe it are heavy, squeezing and crushing although occasionally described as stabbing and burning. 2. Electrocardiographic changes ECG is sensitive for detecting myocardial ischemia and infarct...

Paroxysmal shooting or stabbing pain in the dermatomes of the nervus occipitalis major or nervus occipitalis minor is defined as occipital neuralgia. The initial cause of the neuralgia appears to be from inflammation, damage or irritation of these nerves. In this article, we present a patient with occipital neuralgia followed by thoracic herpes lesion.

Neuropathic pain develops when the somatosensory nervous system is affected by a lesion or disease. Diagnostic tests aimed at assessing somatosensory afferent pathway damage are therefore useful for diagnosing neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain manifests with a range of different symptoms such as ongoing burning pain, squeezing or pressure pain, paroxysmal electric shock-like sensations, stabbi...

UNLABELLED The qualities of chronic neuropathic pain (NeP) may be informative about the different mechanisms of pain. We previously developed a 2-factor model of NeP that described an underlying structure among sensory descriptors on the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The goal of this study was to confirm the correlated 2-factor model of NeP. Individual descriptive scores from the Short-...
