Sub arachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm is a major healthcare concern because of its fatal consequence and also the potential to be fully treated if acted upon on time. It constitutes 85% of nontraumatic SAH cases. 1 The incidence of intracranial aneurysms have been found to be as high as 1% in males and 2% in females in the UK. 2 Although the incidence of patients presen...

The radiographic findings in 35 cases of untreated intracranial oligodendrogliomas were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 34.6 years, and seizure disorder and headache were the most frequent presenting symptoms. Slightly less than two-thirds of the tumors were histologically pure and almost half were low-grade. Most lesions were cerebral and peripheral in location, and the majority wer...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a chronic idiopathic granulomatous disease considered to occur in association with diabetes mellitus. Data on the frequency of this association, however, are inconsistent. Our aim was to retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with NL at our hospital and to investigate the association with diabetes mell...

The clinical and pathological features of 35 cases with multiple system atrophy collected in the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank (UKPDSBB) between 1985 and 1992 have been analysed. The median age of onset was 55 (range 33.3-75.8) years and median survival was 7.3 (range 2.1-11.5) years. Parkinsonism, usually asymmetric, occurred in all, and autonomic failure in all but one...

Congenital complete atrioventricular block is uncommon, and the outlook is usually regarded as favourable. Thirty-five patients with congenital heart block are presented. There was no obvious sex difference and their ages ranged from 12 days to 85 years, though most were under the age of 20 years when first seen. Accompanying heart disease was noted in six, but presentation with symptoms in ear...

This paper is concerned with two classes of graphs that generalize φ-tolerance chain graphs using the rank tolerance model introduced by Golumbic and Jamison in [3]. In a rank-tolerance representation of a graph, each vertex is assigned two parameters: a rank, which represents the size of that vertex, and a tolerance which represents an allowed extent of conflict with other vertices. Two vertic...

A Heijunka Board is a Lean Production technique that helps to communicate a timed production plan to the factory floor. Lean advocates that production plans should be generated to level the volume and to level the mix. It is the mix levelling aspect of the Heijunka Board that we are concerned with. In particular, given that a number of products have to be produced on a production line, the orde...
