Three cases of intractable spontaneous posterior epistaxis refractory to nasal packing and complicated by ipsilateral carotid artery occlusive disease were successfully treated with internal maxillary artery occlusion with microcoils. There were no complications and no recurrent episodes of epistaxis at a mean follow-up of 12 months. The presence of ipsilateral carotid artery disease requires m...

A detailed biomechanical model of the low-back musculature that predicts muscle-force distribution in response to external loading is presented. The paper shows that the class of loading tasks that involve an erect posture and an arbitrary load placed on the upper limbs can be described as a loading plane whose axes are the flexion and lateral bending moments. Under these conditions, the indivi...

The main purpose of the research is that family factor should be taken into account in intrinsic motivation compared to other external factors. When it foreseen, can increase job performance, play an active role motivation. In this study, effect on was evaluated with a qualitative study order performance. interviews lasting 1-2 hours were conducted for each person from 42 people. According resu...

Cell cycle transitions are subject to regulation by both external signals and internal checkpoints that monitor satisfactory progression of key cell cycle events. In budding yeast, the morphogenesis checkpoint arrests the cell cycle in response to perturbations that affect the actin cytoskeleton and bud formation. Herein, we identify a step in this checkpoint pathway that seems to be directly r...

Many countries are using the strategy of international recruitment to make up for shortages of health professionals to the detriment of health systems in the poorest parts of the world. This study reviewed the potential impact of eight national level and international codes of practice or similar instruments that are being introduced to encourage ethical recruitment in order to protect these co...

The fecundity, hatching success and naupliar survival of Calanus sinicus were studied in the Yellow Sea during research cruises in April and October 2006, with emphasis on the regulation of reproduction. During both cruises, the egg production rate (EPR) showed large spatial variations (0 to 25.4 eggs female–1 d–1), generally coinciding with the food availability. In April, the abundant phytopl...
