Although there is not a lot published about the administration of acute thrombolysis for stroke in Pakistan , studies show that despite the widespread absence of acute ambulance services and education, stroke is recognized early and about a quarter of the patients in urban areas present within the time window and are eligible for rt-PA. Additionally, the published studies show that our symptoma...

Reaction time task rule congruency effects (RT-TRCEs) reflect faster responses to stimuli for which the competing task rules indicate the same correct response than to stimuli indicating conflicting responses. The authors tested the hypothesis that RT-TRCE reflects activated overlearned response category codes in long-term memory (such as up or left). The results support the hypothesis by showi...

We consider the slight variation of the adversarial queuing theory model, in which an adversary injects packets with routes into the network subject to the following constraint: For any link e, the total number of packets injected in any time window [t, t′) and whose route contains e, is at most ρ(t′− t) +σ, where ρ and σ are non-negative parameters. Informally, ρ bounds the long-term rate of i...

Background: Respiratory Therapist (RT) preceptors provide expert clinical instruction and support for respiratory care students. These RTs are often faced with the conundrum of heavy workloads, short staffing, and mandatory overtime. Yet, in the midst of this demanding work environment, selected RTs are often being asked to act as preceptors for students. The purpose of this paper was to descri...

It is found that magnetic field has a stabilization effect whereas the sheared flow has a destabilization effect on the RT instability in the presence of sharp interface. RT instability only occurs in the long wave region and can be completely suppressed if the stabilizing effect of magnetic field dominates. The RT instability increases with wave number and flow shear, and acts much like a Kelv...

The program described allows for the creation and manipulation of files of DNA sequence data up to very great lengths. The program uses its own paging system to load segments of the sequence into a small internal buffer so that the program does not have excessive memory requirements. The program offers a menu of functions to the user, and has been written to be forgiving of user errors. A code ...

American Society of Hematology in the first 2 years has also been reduced by 50% in the rituximab-containing treatment arm. These preliminary findings in a pilot study echo the results of previously published studies in advanced disease and provide a lead for future comparative trials. Although the majority of patients with limited disease can be cured using a brief course of doxorubicincontain...
