objective: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is a chronic, highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder which affects 9% of school-age children. triple p-positive parenting program is an evidence-based parenting program reported to be useful in the management of this disorder. the aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of triple p in mothers of a...

BACKGROUND Artificial insemination is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of various forms of infertility. Infectious complications have only rarely been noted as a complication of intrauterine insemination (IUI). CASE In this presentation, we report the first case of an ovarian abscess following IUI with the husband's semen. Despite treatment with triple antibiotics, an oophorec...

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA or triple A’s) are indolent and deadly diseases. Their treatment options involve either an invasive procedure or a minimally invasive one. When the minimally invasive procedure, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), was introduced, it revolutionized the treatment of AAA’s due to advantages such as shortened hospital stays and reduced costs. As EVAR requires period...

The entropy of shortest distance (ESD) between geographic elements (“elliptical intrusions”, “lineaments”, “points”) on a map, or between "vugs", "fractures" and "pores" in the macroor microscopic images of triple porosity naturally fractured vuggy carbonates provides a powerful new tool for the digital processing, analysis, classification and space/time distribution prognostic of mineral resou...

Regenerative endodontic procedures are the emerging techniques for the restoration of functional pulp and dentine. The case report presented here describes the management of a symptomatic mandibular first molar with an immature apex and necrotic pulp in a 9 year old child. The tooth was tender on percussion and palpation and elicited a negative response to sensibility testing. A regenerative en...

Let G be a finite abelian group and E a subset of it. Suppose that we know for all subsets T of G of size up to k for how many x ∈ G the translate x + T is contained in E. This information is collectively called the k-deck of E. One can naturally extend the domain of definition of the k-deck to include functions on G. Given the group G when is the k-deck of a set in G sufficient to determine th...

Patients with spina bifida cystica commonly have significant disability from a combination of valgus deformity of the ankle and subtalar joints with lateral tibial torsion and plano-abduction deformity of the foot. These deformities can be corrected by a single procedure which combines a supramalleolar tibial osteotomy with a lateral inlay triple fusion. This procedure was carried out on 20 fee...

Because of abuse potential of the feed-additive zilpaterol, a need exists for rapid, sensitive and specific analyses. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed and their usefulness for agricultural applications explored. Immunobiosensor formats were developed for both monoclonal and polyclonal zilpaterol antibodies. Zilpaterol ELISA and ...

For structural systems with both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties, the effect of epistemic uncertainty on failure probability is measured by the variance based sensitivity analysis, which generally needs a ‘‘triple-loop’’ crude sampling procedure to solve and is time consuming. Thus, the Kriging method is employed to avoid the complex sampling procedure and improve the computational efficie...
