purpose: to report a case of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (aion) after ingestion of tadalafil (a drug for management of erectile dysfunction). patient and findings: a healthy 26-year-old male was referred due to loss of vision and visual field defect in his left eye a few days after using tadalafil. visual loss was progressive during the following days. examination revealed disc swelling ...

Introduction: The aim of this abstract is to acquaint the reader with the major geochemical and geochronological properties of lunar rocks formed or affected by impact events, and thus how these rocks constrain lunar bombardment history, with particular emphasis on constraints upon the proposed Lunar Cataclysm or Late Heavy Bombardment [1]. To this end, the focus is on clast-poor impact melt ro...

The study was undertaken to evaluate (a) the reliability of pedometer data and reactivity of children to wearing a pedometer, (b) the effectiveness of a missing data replacement procedure, and (c) the validity of the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ). Six days of pedometer data were collected from 299 middle-school children, followed by administration of the LTEQ. Six days of pedometer...

Background The killing of women by intimate partners (also known as intimate female homicide or intimate femicide) is the most extreme form and consequence of violence against women. Globally, gender differences are found in homicide patterns. Men are at greater risk of being killed than women and this is mainly done by other men. Women, on the other hand, are primarily killed by the opposite g...

Ambulance response time to emergency calls is a key indicator of health system's efficiency although its impact on not precisely known. This causal relation identified by exploiting rainfall at the ambulance run as shock responsiveness. The elasticity likelihood severe cardiovascular condition with respect 0.9 and that death before reaching hospital 5. Finally, economic value quantified, it sho...

Given a set oft raining examples, determining the appropriate number of free parameters is a challenging problem. Constructive learning algorithms attempt to solve this problem automatically by adding hidden units, and therefore free parameters, during learning. We explore an alternative class of algorithms-called metamorphosis algorithms-in which the number of units is fixed, but the number of...

The MWTP: Monterrey Weather, Traffic and Pollution Database contains a collection of historic weather conditions, and recent traffic and air pollution data of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico. Collected data includes: temperature, humidity, raining conditions, wind speed, travel distance, travel time, PM2.5, PM10, O3, among many others. As of February 2017, the MWTP database contained...

This paper provides a physically based model to animate water. A disturbance model is proposed to simulate various kinds of waves. We use a powerful solver called Finite Volume Method to solve the water uid equation and give various kinds of disturbance to the solutions according to di erent disturbance sources such as wind and rain droplets. In this way, we can nicely simulate the movement of ...
