Using the CHARA Array and the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the chemically peculiar star λ Boötis has been spatially resolved. We have measured the limb darkened angular diameter to be θLD = 0.533 ± 0.029 mas, corresponding to a linear radius of R⋆ = 1.70±0.10 R⊙. The measured angular diameter yields an effective temperature for λ Boo of Teff = 8887±242 K. Based upon literature

Mesiodens, a common supernumerary tooth found in the midline inanterior maxilla. Multiple mesiodens are termed as ‘mesiodentes’. This report presents an extremely rare occurrence of two mesiodentes with different morphologyand their associated problems. It is an asymptomatic condition and is usually diagnosed on routine clinical and radiographic examination.Thisarticle also elucidate about the ...

Boo-Chai (1966) reported a case of successful closure of a cleft lip at approximately 390 A.D. in China, although the surgeon's name is not mentioned. Yperman (1295-1351) was a Flemish surgeon who appears to have written the first fully documented description of cleft lip and its surgical repair. He closed the freshened borders of the cleft lip with a triangular needle armed with a twisted wax ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the benefit of voiding chain cystourethrography (VCC) [placing a radiographic opaque chain into the urethra and bladder and asking the patient to void under fluoroscopy] in the urodynamic evaluation of female bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Females with post anti-incontinence operation voiding dysfunction who underwent urodynamic evaluation augment...

Objective: To compare holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for treatment of men with bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia with a minimum of 24-month follow-up. Patients and methods: Sixty-one patients were randomised to either HoLEP or TURP. All patients had BOO proven on urodynamic studies p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor (α1-AR) blocker for the treatment of female voiding dysfunction (FVD) through a pressure-flow study. METHODS This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Women aged ≥18 years with voiding symptoms, as defined by an American Urological Association symptom score (AUA-SS) ≥15 and a maximum flow rate (Qmax) <15 m...

OBJECTIVE To determine from urodynamic data what causes an increased postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) in men with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), urethral resistance or bladder failure, and to determine how to predict bladder contractility from the PVR. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed retrospectively the pressure-flow studies (PFS) of 90 men with BOO. Nine patients could not void and t...

Infants generally begin to recognize emotional expressions after 6 months of age; some reports have even observed recognition in neonates. Emotional recognition is important for social referencing, in which infants “read” their parents’ expressions to understand events. Three methods for studying how infants come to recognize emotion are described in this article: peek-aboo, matching faces and ...
