Meanwhile, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are predisposed to developing chronic leg ulcers; approximately 10% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis will experience leg ulceration [3]. Many studies have found that at least half the ulcers in these patients are multifactorial in origin but often associated with venous insufficiency [2-4]. In patients with RA, the mean duration of chronic...

conclusions we think one of the influential factors for leading a guidewire and catheter into a nominated vein may be the left sided bevel of the needle at the time of internal jugular vein needle and catheter insertion. we were required to continue going towards the subclavian vein and accidentally turned into the left internal mammary vein. introduction central venous catheter placement is a ...

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition in which cholesterol concentrations the blood exceed normal levels, resulting death if total levels 240 mg/dl. The purpose of this study was to determine effect cupping therapy on hypercholesterolemia patients at Islamic Medication Clinic Reflection and Cupping Samarinda.

OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of structural and psychophysical abnormalities in normal eyes and eyes with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) and normal standard automated perimetry (SAP). METHODS Complete examination, SAP, short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), frequency doubling technology (FDT), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx-VCC), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the...

Sin.?I have had much pleasure in reading Surgeon-Major Davis's article on the above subject, and, as he asks for results, I beg to inform him that in three cases which have lately been under my care dry cupping was used with advantage in all after the cold" douche, and in one of the cases sinapism in addition.

In this paper we prove that every nonzero ∆2 e-degree is cuppable to 0e by a 1-generic ∆ 0 2 e-degree (so low and nontotal) and that every nonzero ω-c.e. e-degree is cuppable to 0e by an incomplete

We extend the notion of immunity to closed sets and to Π1 classes in particular in two ways: immunity meaning the corresponding tree has no infinite computable subset, and tree-immunity meaning it has no infinite computable subtree. We separate these notions from each other and that of being special, and show separating classes for computably inseparable c.e. sets are immune and perfect thin cl...
