conclusion the incidence of rop is relatively high in this region. risk factors for rop among very premature infants include hypoxia, severe hyperoxia, relatively low blood spo2, gestational age, birth weight, and apgar score. results the incidence of rop was 26.2%. significant differences between the rop and control groups were observed, these include; gestational age, sex, birth weight, apgar...

PURPOSE Macular anatomic abnormalities were examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in premature children and compared with those of full-term children. METHODS In a prospective case-control study, premature patients 7 to 14 years of age were divided into three groups (group I, laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity [ROP]; group II, spontaneously regressed ROP; group III, no ...

When developing exploits for modern x86 64-bit systems, attackers must handcraft exploits for each binary. This involves finding a vulnerability (such as a stack-based buffer overflow) and diverting control flow (overwrite return address). Modern exploits employ Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) to bypass widely deployed defenses such as WˆX. Building a ROP chain requires manual effort to find ...

The airport runway is a scarce resource that must be shared by different runway operations (arrivals, departures and runway crossings). Given the possible sequences of runway events, careful Runway Operations Planning (ROP) is required if runway utilization is to be maximized. Thus, Runway Operations Planning (ROP) is a critical component of airport operations planning in general and surface op...

1 We would like to thank the following for their comments on the earlier versions of the paper: (i) the Special Issue editors and the two anonymous referees for their insightful comments-2-Abstract This paper explores the benefits of an emerging initiative in the consumer products products. To evaluate CPFR benefits, we compare it with the traditional reorder point (ROP) method, where members i...

OBJECTIVES To report visual acuity (VA) measured by Teller Acuity Cards (TACs) and a new Light Perception/Projection (LPP) Scale in infants with regressed or treated stage 3, 4, or 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and to compare VA in eyes that underwent successful vitreoretinal surgery for stage 5 ROP with eyes with persistent retinal detachment. METHODS Nineteen infants (35 eyes) underwe...
