BACKGROUND/AIM Intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) results in transient improvements in diabetic macular oedema (DMO), necessitating repeated injections. The authors report a case series of 10 eyes of 10 patients with DMO, who received a repeat injection of 4 mg IVTA, at least 26 weeks after the first injection of the same dose. METHOD Pre-injection and at 2, 4, 9, and 17 weeks post-injection, ...

Objective. Obesity is a risk factor for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in men. Weight loss has been shown to improve hypogonadism in obese men. This study evaluated the early changes in sex hormones profile after bariatric surgery. Methods. This is a prospective study including 29 morbidly obese men. Main outcomes were changes in serum levels of total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (cFT), ...

a black ring, and found a mismatch between supergravity and the CFT. However, such a comparison should take into account the subtle distinction between the asymptotic charges of the black ring and the charges entering the CFT description. We show that using the correct charges yields perfect agreement.

These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to introduce condensed matter physicists to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Discussion of string theory and of supersymmetry is avoided to the extent possible.

Although a growing body of literature has examined wraparound implementation and fidelity, child and family team (CFT) members’ levels of participation and the consistency of their attendance have not been systematically examined. This study explored the relationship between CFT member attendance consistency and the fidelity of wraparound team level implementation processes in a System of Care ...

A bacterial strain, designated cfT was isolated from surface water of a freshwater pond for shrimp (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) culture at Ping-Tung (Southern Taiwan). Cells of this organism were Gram-negative, slightly curved rods which were motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Strain cfT utilized chitin as the exclusive carbon, nitrogen, and energy source for growth, both under aerobic...

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) in type 2 diabetic men (T2DM) in population of Polish men and examine the possible influence of estradiol levels and glycemic control. We evaluated TT, cfT, estradiol, and glycemic control (HbA1c) in 184 diabetic men and in 149 nondiabetic control group. The mean HbA1c was 8.6 ± 0.2% and 6.1 ± 0.3% and ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there was a relationship between sex hormone levels and body composition, bone health, and health-related quality of life in men over 50 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS Transversal study carried out in 230 Spanish male outpatients. Body composition was studied using direct anthropometric measures: height, weight, waistline circumference, dominant arm circumfe...

We analytically evaluate the Rényi entropies for the two dimensional free boson CFT. The CFT is considered to be compactified on a circle and at finite temperature. The Rényi entropies Sn are evaluated for a single interval using the two point function of bosonic twist fields on a torus. For the case of the compact boson, the sum over the classical saddle points results in the Riemann-Siegel th...

A bstract Recently, a codimension two holography called wedge is proposed as generalization of AdS/CFT. It conjectured that gravitational theory in d + 1 dimensional spacetime dual to ? CFT on the corner wedge. In this paper, we give an exact construction solutions for from ones By applying construction, prove equivalence between and AdS/CFT vacuum Einstein gravity, by showing classical action ...
