In a series of 68 patients with gastric ulcer who were treated by vagotomy and pyloroplasty there were no operative deaths, though one patient who received massive transfusions died 14 weeks later from hepatic necrosis probably associated with serum hepatitis. Four patients developed recurrent peptic ulceration requiring further surgical treatment. The clinical condition of all but three of the...

The gradual decline in stroke mortality rates observed in the United States since 1900 accelerated markedly around 1973 for whites and around 1968 for blacks. During the next decade stroke mortality rates decreased by almost 50% so that the United States now experiences one of the lowest stroke mortality rates in the world. Beginning in 1979, however the annual rate of decline in stroke mortali...

The objective of this work is to analyze the temporal and spatial variability of the total ozone column (TOC) trends over the Yangtze River Delta, the most populated region in China, during the last 35 years (1978–2013) using remote sensing-derived TOC data. Due to the lack of continuous and well-covered ground-based TOC measurements, little is known about the Yangtze River Delta. TOC data deri...

Relating to a previous simplified VHDL processor model [1], a more advanced synthesized VHDL pipeline microprocessor model was developed and has been used in the second term computer architecture course offered in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Techonology. This paper will first describe the pipeline processor model and its VHDL implementation. The...

Conclusions: Once a week middle ear inflation over a 4-week period was efficacious in the treatment of OME in the shortterm but it did not provide satisfactory long-term benefits. Autoinflation may avoid the need for drugs or surgery for middle ear effusion and it may be considered as an alternative to the other choices of treatment of OME. However, further efficacy studies investigating the id...

introduction daily weather information is currently available for about 40000 stations across the world. but, distribution of these stations is relatively uneven in some parts of the world. moreover, there are often large amounts of missing values (schuol andabbaspour, 2007: 301). using generated data can help fill missing or even to correct erroneously measured data (fodor et al., 2010: 91). l...
