A 30-year-old female complained of sudden onset of severe proptosis, chemosis, diplopia, and bruit. Right carotid angiography showed a high-flow direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) draining into the engorged superior ophthalmic vein, inferior petrosal sinus, and pterygoid plexus. The patient experienced retroperitoneal bleeding from a ruptured right renal artery after undergoing cerebral ang...

In this paper we present linear time approximation schemes for several generalized matching problems on nonbipartite graphs. Our results include O (m)-time algorithms for (1 − )maximum weight f -factor and (1+ )-approximate minimum weight f -edge cover. As a byproduct, we also obtain direct algorithms for the exact cardinality versions of these problems running in O(m √ f(V )) time. The technic...

It is currently difficult and time-consuming to validate and manipulate data in web applications, so we have developed an editor and a parser to simplify these tasks. Our editor enables end-user programmers to create and debug reusable, flexible data formats without learning a complex new language. Our parser uses these formats to turn strings into structured objects and to report its level of ...

Three patients with symptomatic carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) characterized by complete occlusion of the proximal internal carotid artery were treated by percutaneous puncture and embolization. Two patients had CCFs associated with traumatic dissections of the internal carotid artery and were treated initially with trapping procedures. Both patients had persistent symptoms related to the CC...

Breastfeeding has unique benefits for the child and mother, its decline may be one of most significant mass phenomena in infant feeding. While there are several causes, standing out among them is marketing practices commercial milk formula (CMF) complementary foods (CCF). This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using qualitative quantitative methodology, between August 2018 2020. R...

Aims The intraportal pancreatic islet transplantation (IPIT) model of diabetic rats is an insulin mediated model of hepatocarcinogenesis characterized by the induction of clear cell foci (CCF) of altered hepatocytes, which are pre-neoplastic lesions excessively storing glycogen (glycogenosis) and exhibiting activation of the AKT/mTOR protooncogenic pathway. In this study, we transferred the IPI...

The main purpose of this paper is to apply time-domain cross-correlation analysis to assess the cerebral autoregulation (CA) dynamics in diabetics with autonomic neuropathy. Continuous and spontaneous arterial blood pressure (ABP) and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) were acquired from 10 normal subjects, 10 diabetics without autonomic neuropathy and 10 diabetics with autonomic neuropathy (s...

This study compared the effect of 2 specific cervical flexor muscle exercise protocols on immediate pain relief in the cervical spine of people with chronic neck pain. In addition, the study evaluated whether these exercise protocols elicited any systemic effects by studying sympathetic nervous system (SNS) function and pain at a location distant from the cervical spine. Participants were rando...

Abstract The diagnoses made to justify anticorruption measures tend minimize the complexity of phenomenon corruption. In line with garbage can model (Cohen, March, & Olsen, 1972), where solutions look for problems, corruption problem is characterized as something “addressable” by policy, which brings serious consequences, such implementation a fallible policy. article reviews fallibility po...

BACKGROUND Massively parallel sequencing of circulating cell free (ccf) DNA from maternal plasma has been demonstrated to be a powerful method for the detection of fetal copy number variations (CNVs). Although the detection of CNVs has been described by multiple independent groups, genomic aberrations resulting in copy number-neutral events including balanced translocations have proven to be mo...
