Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are the potential group of chemicals used to improve agricultural productivity. The extensive use of pesticides to improve agricultural productivity played an important role in the last century. These compounds have been applied for decades in preventing, repelling or mitigating the effects of pests. OCPs are one of the most persistent organic pollutants present...

BACKGROUND Neurovascular compression (NVC) in the posterior fossa is characterized by complex, three-dimensional (3D) neurovascular relationships at the root entry zones (REZ) and other parts of cranial nerves, resulting in syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm, vertigo and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Microvascular decompression (MVD) requires microsurgical experience an...

A general theory for perturbations of an integrable planar map with a separatrix to a hyperbolic xed point has been developed in a previous lecture The splitting of the perturbed invariant curves was measured in rst order with respect to the parameter of perturbation by means of a periodic Melnikov function M de ned on the unperturbed separatrix In the case of planar twist maps M has zero mean ...

Background SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease; the course of illness interspersed with disease flares, infections, adverse drug events which may warrant intensive care admission. Outcomes and factors affecting mortality in these patients are not well established. Objectives The primary objective to describe outcomes causes admitted ICU. Secondary analyse associated mortality.
