The objective of the study was to compare the satisfaction level of edentulous patients provided with complete dentures that were fabricated by either the neutral zone technique or the conventional technique. For this a quasi experimental comparative study (Phase 2 trial) was carried out at Department of Prosthodontics, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from September 20...

Background. Transseptal puncture (TSP) can be challenging. We compared safety and efficacy of a modified TSP technique ("mosquito" technique, MOSQ-TSP) to conventional TSP (CONV-TSP). Method. Patients undergoing AF ablation in whom first attempt of TSP did not result in left atrial (LA) pressure (failure to cross, FTC) were randomized to MOSQ-TSP (i.e., puncture of the fossa via a wafer-thin in...

The problem of damping low frequency oscillations in the range of 0.2 – 3 Hz observed in power systems has been the major concern these days. Power System Stabilizers (PSS) are commonly used to damp these low frequency oscillations. The parameters of the PSS (gain, phase lead time constant) are tuned by considering the single machine connected to infinite bus system (SMIB). Tuning of these para...
