Glucocorticosteroids are used frequently in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Data supporting their efficacy and safety are still meagre. Glucocorticosteroids may be used systemically with different routes of administration (oral, i.m. and i.v.), in different doses and for different periods of time. The effectiveness of glucocorticosteroids in reducing inflammation in the sh...

Electromagnetic wave propagation in arid and semi-arid regions is influenced by sand and dust storms. Meagre information has hitherto been reported as to the effect of storms on telecommunication systems operating in such regions. This paper presents a survey of current understanding of the wave propagation during storms. In this first part of the review—Part I, detailed parametric assessment o...

The practical psychologist will find much matter of interest in several events which have happened during the past quarter. The occurrence in the north of Ireland of an outbreak of religious enthusiasm, accompanied by certain physical and ecstatic phenomena, commends itself particularly to his attention. In other pages we have noticed briefly the nature of the physical phenomena which have been...

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women belongs to the most frequent endocrinopathies. This syndrome is characteristic by a hormonal and metabolic imbalance. It seems to be a kind of an oligogenic disease resulting from the interaction among several key genes and environmental effects. Considering the genetic basis of this syndrome there is no reason why the syndrome could not occur in me...

enteric fever is a most prominent cause of mortality among European soldiers in India. Taking the statistics of the five years, 1871?75, we find that, of an aggregate of 5,147 deaths, 466 or 9'05 per cent were due to this cause?the admissions per 1,000 of strength being 3-58 and deaths 1'59. In British Burma, in a garrison of 2,020 men, 27 cases and 8 deathg were returned under the head of typh...

Enzymes or biocatalysts are produced in the human body from amino acids that the body obtains by digesting food proteins. Enzymes accelerate and control all biochemical processes in the body and in a single second several millions of enzyme mediated chemical reactions occur in a human body. Each enzyme is programmed to carry out one special task. The immense number of enzymes acts as a perfectl...

This paper is an attempt to present a simple yet innovative planning method for determining the type of common bus in hub station (HS), devised on efficiency and reliability grounds. The evaluated by modeling curves converters under part-load full-load conditions, hence enabling realistic estimate efficiency. Reliability evaluation executed failure repair rate distributions HS components. optim...

For a nonlinear operator T satisfying certain structural assumptions, our main theorem states that the following claims are equivalent: i) is surjective, ii) open at zero, and iii) has bounded right inverse. The applies to numerous scale-invariant PDEs in regularity regimes where equations stable under weak⁎ convergence. Two particular examples we explore Jacobian equation of incompressible flu...
