This study aimed to compare tear film viscosity (TFV) in Sjögren and non-Sjögren dry eye diseases (DEDs). was a cross-sectional observational study. A total of 68 DED patients were enrolled, including 32 with syndrome (SS) 36 without SS. TFV assessed by analyzer determined the momentary moving speed (MMS; MMS (t) = α × t−β, t time (s)) its power-law fitting-derived parameters (α β). Among four ...

There are many situations in which one may encounter distinct types of entities, such as different animal species, and different states in which these entities may exist, for example motivational states like hunger. Cognition is sometimes also best understood in terms of discrete types and states. For example, forms of cognitive development can be characterised as the acquisition of increasingl...

Nearly 80 years have passed since Frederic Mohs began to develop the technique that now bears his name. During this period, the use of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has spread and taken firm hold in some countries (especially the United States, where it originated), but has been more unevenly taken up in others, specifically in Europe. Few randomized clinical trials have compared treatment op...

In fair division of indivisible goods, $\ell$-out-of-$d$ maximin share (MMS) is the value that an agent can guarantee by partitioning goods into $d$ bundles and choosing $\ell$ least preferred bundles. Most existing works aim to all agents a constant fraction their 1-out-of-$n$ MMS. But this sensitive small perturbation in agents' cardinal valuations. We consider more robust approximation notio...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that poor performance on standardized tests before and early in medical school is associated with poor performance on standardized tests later in medical school and beyond. This study aimed to explore relationships between standardized examination scores (before and during medical school) with test and clinical performance across all core clinical clerkships. METH...

Wheel/rail contact simulation is one of the most complicated problems in the modeling of railway vehicles. The wheel/rail interaction plays a unique role in rail vehicle dynamics. In this paper, the dynamic response of the wheel on irregular rail track is analyzed with analytical approach using the method of Multiple Scales (MMS). The Hertzian contact theory is used to obtain the relationshi...

INTRODUCTION Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the treatment of choice for high-risk facial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) as it offers the greatest chance of cure with maximum preservation of healthy tissue. Its use in Spanish public health care hospitals is still limited, however, due to the controversy surrounding its cost. OBJECTIVES To determine the cost of MMS with fresh tissue to treat hi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Musical murmurs (MMs), sometimes called seagull cry, goose cry, honks, or cooing murmur, are murmurs with a single frequency that sounds like a musical tone. Doppler detections usually show mirror-image parallel strings or bands of low to moderate frequency. Musical murmurs are mostly described in cardiac murmurs and have seldom been mentioned in cerebrovascular disease. ...

Abstract The presented study is an updated search for Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) using data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope over a period of 10 years (January 2008 to December 2017). In accordance some Grand Unification Theories (GUT), MMs were created during phase symmetry breaking in early Universe, and accelerated by inter-galactic magnetic fields. As consequence their high energy, t...

Maximal mediated sets (MMS), introduced by Reznick, are distinguished subsets of lattice points in integral polytopes with even vertices. MMS Newton AGI-forms and nonnegative circuit polynomials determine whether these sums squares. In this article, we take initial steps classifying both theoretically practically. Theoretically, show that simplices isomorphic if only the generate same up to per...
