Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a sleep related breathing disorder caused by the partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways. Left untreated, OSA can impact detrimentally on the patient’s quality of life, and is a risk factor for hypertension, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and stroke. We report on a case of OSA treated by Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) sur...

Thomas Sterns Eliot, the Nobel Laureate of 1948 ‘for his work as a trail-blazing pioneer of modern poetry’, is perhaps the only modern English poet who has brought his vast learning to bear on his poetry. Various fields of study marks his successful culmination of a long time campaign towards the book of modern manas we may call his literary works. Throughout the poet’s life-long spiritual ques...

Viktor Hamburger [5] was an embryologist who focused on neural development [6]. His scientific career stretched from the early 1920s as a student of Hans Spemann [7] to the late 1980s at Washington University [8] resolving the role of nerve growth factor [9] in the life of neurons. Hamburger is noted for his systematic approach to science and a strict attention to detail. Throughout his life he...

We present a molecular theory to study the adsorption of different species within pH-sensitive hydrogel nanofilms. The theoretical framework allows for a molecular-level description of all the components of the system, and it explicitly accounts for the acid-base equilibrium. We concentrate on the adsorption of hexahistidine, one of the most widely used tags in bio-related systems, particularly...
