Suprascapular nerve blockade improves pain, range of motion, and disability in acute and chronic shoulder pain. Pain relief usually lasts several hours with local anesthetic. If steroids are added, the relief lasts several weeks. Since repetitive steroid exposure is associated with several hazards, alternative long-term therapies would be desirable. Pulsed mode radiofrequency is a non-destructi...

occurrence of natural disaster inflicts irreparable injuries and symptoms on humans. in such conditions, affected people are waiting for medical services and relief commodities. thus, quick reaction of medical services and relief commodities supply play important roles in improving natural disaster management. in this paper, a multi-objective non-linear credibility-based fuzzy mathematical prog...

A new variant of manufacturing high-frequency holographic gratings with a spatial frequency up to 1500 mm -1 on layers dichromated gelatin (DCG), in the processing technology which water procedures are completely excluded, is proposed. The method based use glacial acetic acid after photodestruction by exposure short-wave UV radiation instead standard structures registered coherent He-Cd laser r...

Photoembossing is a cost-effective technique for the production of complex surface relief structures in a photopolymer film, achieved via contact-mask exposure to UVlight. Here, photoembossing is explored using interference holography with a CWlaser and a nanosecond pulsed laser. It is shown that identical surface relief structures are produced if the photopolymer film is kept in a fixed positi...

We tested possible intrapersonal effects of a sigh as a psychological "resetter/rebooter." Fifty-eight undergraduates were randomly assigned to a sigh or a normal exhalation (control) group. We asked participants on each task to model the experimenter demonstrating how to exhale air into a small plastic bag for breathing manipulation under the pretext that we were interested in the exhaled gas ...
