PURPOSE In the present study, we aimed to identify the incidence of fever in patients after subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy and to evaluate the clinical factors associated with the occurrence of the fever. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the cases of patients who underwent subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy (group A) under spinal anesthesia. In addition, we ...

The core idea of integrating the treatment of lane reversals and crossing elimination in evacuation network design is illustrated by the examples in Figure 1, which show how controlling lane entries and turning movements at intersections can create uninterrupted flow conditions for specific evacuation paths. The intersections must be expanded into subnetworks, as shown in Figure 2, to model an ...

trichotillomania refferes compulsive hair pulling that results in considerable hair loss.many medical and nonedical therapies have been applied for treatment of this disorder. the purpose of this study was to compare the efectiveness of clomipramine, hydroxyzine, and behavior therapy (habit reversal) in the treatment of trichottillomania. to achieve this 15 patients with trichotillomania were r...

This study evaluated the generalization, maintenance, and negative side-effects of Habit Reversal (HR) and Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviour (DRO) in the elimination of thumb-sucking. Thirty children who sucked their thumbs or fingers excessively were randomly assigned to a HR, DRO or wait-list control group. Observation data were collected in three observation settings. Both proced...

Previous behavioral research has revealed a positivity effect that occurs with aging, with older adults focusing more on positive information and less on negative emotional stimuli as compared to young adults. Questions have been raised as to whether this effect exists in the rapid detection of information or whether it operates only at later stages of processing. In the present study, we used ...

Purpose: The purpose of this Guideline is to provide guidance to clinicians who offer vasectomy services. This guidance covers pre-operative evaluation and consultation of prospective vasectomy patients; techniques for local anesthesia, isolation of the vas deferens and occlusion of the vas deferens during vasectomy; post-operative follow-up; post-vasectomy semen analysis and potential complica...

Multistable perception occurs when a single physical stimulus leads to two or more distinct percepts that spontaneously switch (reverse). Previous ERP studies have reported reversal negativities and late positive components associated with perceptual reversals. The goal of the current study was to localize the neural generators of the reversal ERP components in order to evaluate their correspon...
