ABSTRACT In this work, we search for negative superhumps (nSHs) in poorly studied cataclysmic variables using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite data. We find three eclipsing binaries with nSH signatures: HBHA 4204−09, Gaia DR3 5931071148325476992, and SDSS J090113.51+144704.6. The last one exhibits IW And-like behaviour archival Zwicky Transient Facility data, appears to have shallow, grazi...

本研究の目的は，糖尿病看護に携わる看護師が抱く，患者と看護師の関係に対する思いとコントロール不良な糖尿病患者に対する思いを明らかにし，その関係を探索することである。看護師10名を対象に半構成的面接を実施し，質的帰納的に分析した。患者と看護の関係に対する思いは5つ，コントロール不良な糖尿病患者に対する思いが6つ抽出された。看護師が，患者と看護師との関係に対して【看護師の指導を受け入れて欲しい】【自分が傷つく患者には関わりたくない】【患者や医療者から看護師としての自分を評価されたい】という思いを抱いていると，コントロール不良な糖尿病患者へ【糖尿病はコントロールできる】や【病状悪化は患者の責任】【コントロール不良な患者への看護は虚しい】という思いを抱いていた。また【患者を尊重したい】や【真摯な姿勢は患者に伝わる】という思いを抱いていると，コントロール不良な患者に対して【良い方向へ変化して欲...

A 40-year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM) visited our hospital complaining of persistent cough. Chest radiography showed no abnormal shadows, but chest CT revealed a raised lesion of the trachea and thickened walls of the bilateral main bronchi (Picture 1). The laboratory findings indicated poorly controlled DM (HbA1c

as the fifth most expected malignancy in American women. Although thyroid cancer is not infrequently diagnosed, it rarely bests its host. We understand a great deal about well-differentiated thyroid cancers, including carcinomas of the thyrocyte and parafollicular c-cells. We have identified a number of mutations and gene rearrangements responsible for familial and sporadic tumors. We have post...

In a security system that allows people to choose their own passwords those people tend to choose passwords that can be easily guessed This weakness exists in practically all widely used systems Instead of forcing users to choose well chosen secrets which are likely to be di cult to remember we propose solutions that maintain both user convenience and a high level of security at the same time T...

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disorder of the paranasal sinuses in which bacteria are implicated. Culture-based assays are commonly used in clinical and research practice; however, culture conditions may not accurately detect the full range of microorganisms present in a sample. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of clinical culture of CRS spe...

The purpose of this note is to summarize recent results [6, 4, 5] on stochastic games by the author and his collaborators. These results have appeared or will appear in proceedings of computer science conferences. The intended reader of this note has an interest in finite stochastic games, but no particular interest in computation, that is, the computational aspects of the results obtained have...

Nephrogenic ascites is a condition characterized by the presence of massive ascites in a patient with ESRD. Neither the exact cause nor the pathogenesis of ascites formation is clearly understood. Patients frequently present with hypertension, moderate to massive ascites, minimal extremity edema, cachexia, and a history of dialysis-associated hypotension. The ascitic fluid is typically an exuda...

The solubilizing ability of two aromatic hydrotropes, N,N-diethylnicotinamide (DENA) and N,N-dimethylbenzamide (DMBA), was investigated using a set of 13 poorly soluble, structurally diverse drugs. The number of aromatic rings in the solute molecule has a very strong effect on the solubility enhancement produced by either hydrotrope. However, although solubility enhancements in the order of 100...
