Sexual desire tends to subside gradually over time, with many couples failing to maintain desire in their long-term relationships. Three studies employed complementary methodologies to examine whether partner responsiveness, an intimacy-building behavior, could instill desire for one's partner. In Study 1, participants were led to believe that they would interact online with their partner. In r...

Despite extensive study on wireless sensor network security, defending internal attacks and finding abnormal behaviour of the sensor are still difficult and unsolved task. The conventional cryptographic technique does not give the robust security or detection process to save the network from internal attacker that cause by abnormal behavior. The insider attacker or abnormally behaved sensor ide...

Prior to the primary treatment of the fracture, an ophthalmologic examination should be done routinely to verify visual acuity and check the possibility of intraocular or corneal injury. Obviously, if the patient is unconscious, the examination is limited. In the conscious patient, a delay of the operative procedure for a few days will allow the edema to subside and permit a more thorough exami...

Belly dancer's dyskinesia (BDD) is an extremely rare manifestation consisting of involuntary and repetitive rhythmic movements of the abdominal wall. These movements cannot be voluntarily suppressed but may be influenced by respiratory maneuvers. Investigations such as spinal cord and abdominal imaging usually fail to reveal any local abnormalities to explain the movement disorder. A 23-year-ol...

We present a stochastic model for the spread of smallpox after a small number of index cases are introduced into a susceptible population. The model describes a branching process for the spread of the infection and the effects of intervention measures. We discuss scenarios in which ring vaccination of direct contacts of infected persons is sufficient to contain an epidemic. Ring vaccination can...

BACKGROUND A case of primary intramedullary glioblastoma occurring at conus medullaris is presented, which was initially undetected and misdiagnosed as L1 through L2 disk herniation. CASE DESCRIPTION After the performance of L1 through L2 discectomy, the patient's initial painful symptom did not subside. The patient then developed a progressive paraparesis. The outside surgeons only predicted...

Post-Operative Care. Only one aspect of the subsequernt care of the case will be mentioned. There has been a tendency to hasten weight-bearing by allowing the patient up as soon as the fifth day. Most surgeons now consider this too early, and find that post-operative effusions are much less common when weight-bearing is delayed for ten to fourteen days. The longer period allows time for the joi...
