Le Médecin de famille canadien | Vol 58: NoVEMbEr • NoVEMbrE 2012 The physical examination is facing extinction in modern medicine. The Top Ten Forgotten Diagnostic Procedures series was developed as a teaching tool for residents in family medicine to reaffirm the most important examinationbased diagnostic procedures, once commonly used in everyday practice. For a complete pdF of the Top Ten Fo...

The molecular topology of a graph is described by topological indices, which are numerical measures. In theoretical chemistry, indices quantities that used to represent the networks. These can be calculate several physical and chemical properties compounds, such as boiling point, entropy, heat generation, vaporization enthalpy. Graph theory comes in handy when looking at link between certain so...

Sodium and fluid retention in dialysis patients is associated with hypertension and vascular changes that may ultimately lead to serious cardiovascular complications. Achieving and maintaining dry weight appears to be an effective but forgotten strategy in controlling and maintaining normal blood pressure among hypertensive patients on dialysis. A crucial question is how to determine 'dry weigh...

The best degree-based upper bound for the spectral radius is due to Liu and Weng. This paper begins by demonstrating that a (forgotten) upper bound for the spectral radius dating from 1983 is equivalent to their much more recent bound. This bound is then used to compare lower bounds for the clique number. A series of line graph degree-based upper bounds for the Q-index is then proposed and comp...
