Introduction The femoral vein accompanies the femoral artery, beginning at the opening in adductor magnus as the continuation of the popliteal vein, and ending at the level of inguinal ligament, by becoming the external iliac vein.

We review these provocative findings, which form the rationale for our recommendation that physicians treating acute cerebral ischemia or traumatic brain injury diligently monitor their patients for incipient fever and take prompt measures to maintain c...

We present several attacks on RSA that factor the modulus in polynomial time under the condition that a fraction of the most significant bits or least significant bits of the private exponent is available to the attacker. Our new attacks on RSA are the first attacks of this type that work up to full size public or private exponent.
