Background A pacemaker system consists of one or two leads connected to a device that is implanted into a pocket formed just below the collarbone. This pocket is typically subcutaneous, that is, located just above the pectoral fascia. Even though the size of pacemakers has decreased markedly, complications due to superficial implants do occur. An alternative technique would be intramuscular pla...

The tricyclic anticonvulsant drugs phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine block neuronal voltage-gated Na(+) channels, and their binding sites to domain IV-S6 in the channel's inner pore overlap with those of local anesthetic drugs. These anticonvulsants are neutral, in contrast to the mostly positively charged local anesthetics, but their open/inactivated-state blocking affinities are simil...

Cloud data centers are used to maintain the shared data values for the data owners .Data owners and public verifiers are involved to efficiently audit cloud data integrity without retrieving the entire data from the cloud server. File and block signatures are used in the integrity verification process. Public data auditing schemes are tuned to verify the encrypted cloud storage environment. “On...

Many nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed by central neurons are located at presynaptic nerve terminals. These receptors have high calcium permeability and exhibit strong inward rectification, two important physiological features that enable them to facilitate transmitter release. Previously, we showed that intracellular polyamines act as gating molecules to block neuronal nAChR...

The IEEE 802.17 is a standardized ring topology network architecture, called the Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), to be used mainly in metropolitan and wide area networks. This paper introduces destination differentiation in ingress aggregated fairness for RPR and focuses on the RPR MAC client implementation of the IEEE 802.17 RPR MAC in the aggressive mode of operation. It also introduces an enhan...

Background Rectus sheath block is a common peripheral nerve block for patients undergoing umbilical hernia repair surgery. However, rectus sheath block alone can affect only anterior branches of intercostal nerves and, therefore, is incomplete for postoperative analgesia for the anterior abdomen, which is innervated by both anterior and lateral branches. We describe a successful perioperative a...

OBJECTIVE To compare 3 different techniques of preventive analgesia before circumcision operations in male children between 6-12 years of age. Our objective was to investigate the duration and quality of postoperative analgesia in patients, who were subject to caudal block technique, dorsal penile nerve block or who were administered subcutaneous morphine. METHODS The prospective, randomised,...

Epilepsy in itself is a brain disorder, in which the normal pattern of neuron electrical activity becomes disturbed, causing abnormal problems to the patients. This paper explains the DSP-based real time system for a patient who suffers from these types of recurrent bouts with sound induced epileptic seizures. Specifically, sounds that are produced by telephone (rotary, cellular) rings and page...

an 11 year – old mixed female labrador was presented with two masses in trunk and neck. the tumoral masses were excised and sent for histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. histopathological examination of masses revealed diffuse infiltration of small sized lymphoid cells in subcutaneous tissue which were intense around the blood vessels. more than 10% lymphoid cells were cd3 positi...
