Despite the marked adverse impacts of erectile dysfunction (ED) on quality of life and well-being, many patients (and/or their partners) do not seek medical attention for this problem, do not receive treatment or discontinue such treatment even when it has effectively restored erectile responses to sexual stimulation. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors are considered first-line therapie...

M We have prospectively analqsed the feasibility and advantages of local anesthesia in surgical management of advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy in retinal detachment (RD). M&Q& Peribulbar anesthesia (PBA) was used in 20 consecutive cases operated for RD. All the pateints requiered s&rat buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, complete membrane removal, endophotocoagulation and internal tamponad...

Due to the increased public concern over the role that chlorofluorocarbons CCFCs) play in depleting stratospheric ozone, a landmark international agreement , the Montreal Protocol, was signed in 1987 which regulated the production and consum ption of CFCs. More recently, several nations, most notably Canada, the Federal Rep ublic of Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the United States, have planned o...

An overview of the currently available smart power ICs reveals that a good design should include sensing circuits for protection, analog multiplexer for effic ient use of hardware and analog-todigital converter for real-time monitoring. This research deals with the circuit design and implementation of an advanced smart PIC which features a temperature sensing circuit, a load current detector, a...

Biochemical control. Renal function is assessed from plasma creatinine and, ideally, a yearly isotopic measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Until the patient has stopped growing, GFR can be estimated using the Schwartz formula (height in cm x 40/creatinine mmol/l). GFR increases rapidly in the first two years of life to adult values, provided that it is adjusted for body surface are...

Resin blocks conta in ing s imula ted roo t canal spaces were c o m p a r e d with ext rac ted tee th as mode ls for measu r ing the eff ic iency of endodon t i c d e b r i d e m e n t with hand ins t rumenta t ion , u l t rasonica t ion , or a c o m b i n a t i o n of bo th techniques .

Main m e m o r y databases are promising approach t o realize high-performance sys tems without expensive special hardware. One serious problem is reliability and we need t o develop backup and recovery mechanisms suitable for m a i n m e m o r y . In order t o reduce overhead for backup operations, we have developed continuous backup mechanisms, which transmit data t o archive storage during u...

and in view of the large number of defectives shewn to exist in die country, of their increasing cost to the community, and of the insuffic-iency of the existing provision for their proper care, training, supervision and control, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND: (1) THAT, as for certain types of mentally defective persons the only effective means of care and prevention which is at present practicable, is...

wiener index is a topological index based on distance between every pair of vertices in agraph g. it was introduced in 1947 by one of the pioneer of this area e.g, harold wiener. inthe present paper, by using a new method introduced by klavžar we compute the wiener andszeged indices of some nanostar dendrimers.
