Let Y ∈ ∆2 be Martin-Löf-random. Then there is a promptly simple set A such that for each Martin-Löf-random set Z, Y ≤T A ⊕ Z ⇒ Y ≤T Z. When Y = Ω, one obtains a c.e. non-computable set A which is not weakly Martin-Löf cuppable. That is, for any Martin-Löf-random set Z, if ∅′ ≤T A⊕ Z, then ∅′ ≤T Z.

We prove that a set is K-trivial if and only if it is not weakly ML-cuppable. Further, we show that a set below zero jump is K-trivial if and only if it is not ML-cuppable. These results settle a question of Kučera, who introduced both cuppability notions.

Objectives. Reduction in serum lipoproteins, especially LDL cholesterol, is a preventive approach against atherosclerosis. Bloodletting has been a recommended method to reduce serum lipoprotein concentrations. Present study was conducted to investigate the effects of wet cupping as a method of bloodletting on serum lipoproteins. In a randomized controlled trial, 47 men, 18-25 years old, without...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to investigate whether there is a gap between evidence of traditional medicine (TM) interventions in East-Asian countries from the current Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and evidence from current systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SR-MAs) and to analyze the impact of this gap on present CPGs. METHODS We examined 5 representative TM interventions ...

Two experiments were conducted to compare techniques to maximise the amount of milk harvested mechanically from Poll Dorset ewes. The treatments were double cupping, machine stripping, Sagi hook, a negative control (no extra stripping applied) and a positive control (residual milk withdrawn after injecting 5 IU of oxytocin). In the first experiment it was shown that the amount of milk collected...

Methods We included all RCTs on cupping therapy for facial paralysis, combination of cupping therapy and other TCM treatments versus other non-TCM therapies were excluded. We searched four databases. All searches ended in December 2010. Methodological qualities of the included trials were evaluated according to criteria of Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook. Outcome data were summarized using risk ra...

In 1851, the introduction of the ophthalmoscope by Von Helmholtz revolutionized ophthalmology. With the ophthalmoscope, Von Graefe and others at the time were the first to visualize the optic disc of blind patients in whom the eyeballs were firm but noncongested. They classified this condition as simple glaucoma and labeled the appearance of the optic disc as ‘cupped’. Since then, the term ‘cup...

The number of sufferers infected with Covid-19 is increasing in Indonesia. Kompas states that there were 3,874 people as September 27, 2020. There are 275,213 to date. This case increase gives special attention various government and scientific disciplines. 18 May 2020 stated based on reports around 35 % patients hypertension, diabetes mellitus, other cardiovascular diseases. community service ...

Background: According to the international diabetes federation, 629 million adults will suffer from by 2045. Wet cupping therapy is a combination of bleeding and dry has been used in traditional medicine as complementary for diabetes. Limonene was shown have both antioxidant antidiabetic activity but its potential alongside other treatments not thoroughly explored. Objectives: Although wet-cupp...
