background a considerable portion of gastrointestinal malignancies undergoes surgery without curative resection. this study was conducted to assess surgical outcome in patients with gastrointestinal cancers. methods we reviewed individuals with esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum cancers admitted for surgical treatment after initial preoperative evaluations. surgical outcome, stage of tumors a...

purpose: to determine the efficacy, safety, and stability of these techniques and some factors affecting refractive and visual outcomes in treated patients. methods: 236 lasik-treated eyes (122 patients) and 218 prk-treated eyes (112 patients) with myopia and myopic-astigmatism between -1.25 and -4 diopters (d) underwent refractive surgery over an 11 month period by a single surgeon. patients w...

this study sought to compare the clinical features and outcome of a first acute myocardial infarction (ami) with onset of symptoms during or within 30 minutes of exercise, at rest and in bed. information collected using a standard questionnaire was used to relate activity at the onset of symptoms and in-hospital outcome in 500 consecutive patients admitted to our heart center with a first ami b...

In this paper, we formalize the Menger probabilistic normed space as a category in which its objects are the Menger probabilistic normed spaces and its morphisms are fuzzy continuous operators. Then, we show that the category of probabilistic normed spaces is isomorphicly a subcategory of the category of topological vector spaces. So, we can easily apply the results of topological vector spaces...

If a coin is tossed, then there are two possible outcomes: heads and tails. Statements such as ‘the chance that the outcome will be heads is 50%’ are formalized in probability theory, giving a better way to reason about the odds of a certain outcome of an experiment. The possible outcomes of an experiment are called the sample space. For example, the sample space of the coin tossing experiment ...

conclusions traumatic abdominal wall hernia tawh, although uncommon, is associated with significant rate of morbidity and mortality in cases of delayed diagnosis and intervention. early intervention leads to a significantly better outcome. introduction acute abdominal wall rupture with visceral herniation due to blunt traumas and bowel incarceration or perforation are generally rare phenomena. ...

BACKGROUND Patients with a hemispheric infarct and massive space-occupying brain oedema have a poor prognosis. Despite maximal conservative treatment, the case fatality rate may be as high as 80%, and most survivors are left severely disabled. Non-randomised studies suggest that decompressive surgery reduces mortality substantially and improves functional outcome of survivors. This study is des...

Space is characterized by risk and uncertainty. As humans play an important role in long-duration space missions, the ability to make risky decisions effectively is important for astronauts who spend extended time periods in space. The present study used the Balloon Analog Risk Task to conduct both behavioral and fMRI experiments to evaluate the effects of simulated microgravity on individuals'...

in this paper boundedness and compactness of generalized composition oper-ators from logarithmic bloch type spaces to q_k type spaces are investigated.
