Current-sensing topology with multi resistors in series has limitations improving the dynamic range of current acquisition, so a sensing parallel is proposed. The overcurrent state shunt circuit cannot be latched, resulting protection hiccups. A dual threshold-detection designed to achieve latching and self-recovery. rectified mean applied for magnitude detection its validity proved. But delay ...

Background: Lead-related infections that might develop after pacemaker implantation associated with high mortality and morbidity rates are challenging to manage and pose high-cost. Patients with lead-related infections usually present with fever, chills and fatigue and the treatment can be challenging unless the implant system is extracted. Case presentation: A 66-year old male patient who und...

Hiccups occurring secondary to high-doses of corticosteroids are a well-recognized problem in the field of neurosurgery. Numerous reports of oral, intravenous and intraarticular corticosteroids inducing hiccups exist in the literature. To date, there is only one case of anabolic steroids inducing hiccups. We now present a case of a patient who underwent a suboccipital craniotomy for resection o...

It is widely accepted that semantic theories should, as far as possible, be compositional. The claim that a theory is compositional, however, lacks bite if lexical and pre-lexical items are allowed to mean diierent things in diierent contexts. The aim of the current paper is to show how two speciic phenomena can be dealt with by relying on combinatorial eeects to infer diierent consequences fro...
