Early treatment of phantom limb pain in patients after amputation reduces the incidence of chronic pain sensations from 60 85 % to 10 20 % [1]. A 33 year old patient with osteosarcoma of proximal humerus developed a burning pain VAS 7-8 (Visual analog scale 0-10) of the left hand and fingers three days after amputation of the left arm in the shoulder joint. Treatment with calcitonin, amitriptyl...

Any algorithm of simulating the behavior of a real system requires a random number generator. A computer does not really generate random numbers because computer employs a deterministic algorithm but a list of pseudo-random numbers which can be considered random. There are many algorithms for computing random numbers and there is not a single best among them. Most programing languages have buil...

The chloroplastic inner envelope protein of 110 kD (IEP110) is part of the protein import machinery in the pea. Different hybrid proteins were constructed to assess the import and sorting pathway of IEP110. The IEP110 precursor (pIEP110) uses the general import pathway into chloroplasts, as shown by the mutual exchange of presequences with the precursor of the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisp...

Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) has been widely used as a postoperative analgesic adjunct to opioids for total hip arthroplasty (THA), either by the conventional infrainguinal approach or the modified proximal suprainguinal approach irrespective of any specific advantage of one over the other. This study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of the two techniques of FICB for po...
