OBJECTIVE The aims of the current study were to determine whether pre-operative urinary tract infections in patients presenting acutely with neck of femur fractures resulted in a delay to surgery and whether such patients were at increased risk of developing post-operative surgical site infections. DESIGN A retrospective review of all patients presenting with a neck of femur fracture, at a si...

The literature in the field of archaeological predictive models has grown last years, looking for new factors most effective methods to introduce. However, where are used heritage management, they could benefit from using a more speedy and consequently useful including some well-consolidated studied literature. In this paper, an operative model is developed, validated discussed, order test its ...

Spontaneous left internal mammary artery (LIMA) dissection is an extremely rare condition. It generally occurs as a complication of interventional manipulation in the early post-operative period. Here we present a case of spontaneous LIMA dissection nine years after surgery seemed to be chronic deforming jetflow secondary to kinking segment of LIMA. Kinking of LIMA usually occurs in the intraop...

Abstract. Given a doubling measure μ on R, it is a classical result of harmonic analysis that Calderón-Zygmund operators which are bounded in L(μ) are also of weak type (1, 1). Recently it has been shown that the same result holds if one substitutes the doubling condition on μ by a mild growth condition on μ. In this paper another proof of this result is given. The proof is very close in spirit...

A change in subtask order in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm increases the effect of stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) on the second response. We used a paradigm with cued, randomly determined subtask order to test the hypothesis that this SOA by order switch overadditivity reflects order control, via "copying" stimulus order. In Experiments 1a and 1b, overadditivity was eviden...

Doppler-shifted ultrasound with spectral analysis was used to assess the internal carotid arteries of 48 patients who had undergone carotid endarterectomy (58 carotid endarterectomies). Three patients died in the immediate post-operative period, therefore 45 patients, who represented 54 endarterectomies, were assessed for up to six years following surgery (mean--thirty-four months). Ultrasound ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish the standardization of syndrome differentiation of operative breast cancer treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by the modified Delphi method. METHOD A literature search for standardization of syndrome differentiation of operative breast cancer was conducted and eligible articles were identified in indexed databases from 1982 to 2013...
