introduction: recent anti-inflammatory group of medications include the introduction of cyclooxygenase-ii inhibitors such as coxibs. these agents offer potentially significant advantages because of their realive lack of gastrointestinal irritation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect third molar surgery. methods and materials: this study was a double, randomized, cross over, clinic...

OBJECTIVES Within a randomised trial of neonatal vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in Guinea-Bissau, neonatal VAS did not affect overall infant mortality. We conducted a post-hoc analysis to test the hypothesis that neonatal VAS primes the response to subsequent vitamin A. METHODS All trial children were offered VAS after follow-up ended at 1 year of age (FU-VAS). We compared mortality between ...

BACKGROUNDS Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) sometimes require catheter ablation from both the endocardial and epicardial sides for their elimination, suggesting the presence of intramural VA foci. This study investigated the prevalence and electrocardiographic and electrophysiological characteristics of these idiopathic intramu...

BACKGROUND WHO recommends high-dose Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) at vaccination contacts after 6 months of age. It has not been studied whether the effect of VAS on mortality depends on the type of vaccine. We have hypothesized that VAS administered with measles vaccine (MV) is more beneficial than VAS with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine. We assessed the effect of VAS administere...

This paper discusses the visual algebraic speciication (vas) formalism and its supporting interactive environment (vase). The vas formalism is intended for the deenition of visual syntax and semantics and is aimed at generating language speciic environments. The collection construct of vas is emphasized in that it supports the convenient speciication of language constructs involving arbitrarily...

Any algorithm of simulating the behavior of a real system requires a random number generator. A computer does not really generate random numbers because computer employs a deterministic algorithm but a list of pseudo-random numbers which can be considered random. There are many algorithms for computing random numbers and there is not a single best among them. Most programing languages have buil...
