purpose: compaison of excyclotorsion induced by horizontal transposition of vertical rectus muscles versus vertical transposition of horizontal rectus muscles in rabbit eyes. methods: in this exprimental study, group 1 underwent full tendon nasal transposition of the superior rectus and full tendon temporal transposition of the inferior rectus (10 adult rabbits); group 2 underwent superior tran...

aortoenteric fistula is a rare but significant clinical entity associated with high morbidity and mortality if remain untreated. clinical presentation and imaging findings may be subtle and prompt diagnosis can be difficult. herein, we present a patient who initially presented with abdominal pain and computed tomography showed an aortic aneurysm compressing duodenum without any air bubbles. one...

nowadays, due to recent developments and researches in dental science, it is possible to preserve and restore previously extracted cases such as teeth with extensive caries, fractured or less appropriate cases for crown coverage as well as teeth with external perforation caused by restorative pins. in order to restore the teeth with preservation of periodontium, we should know thoroughly physio...

The California Department of Industrial Relations asked RAND to examine the feasibility and appropriateness of including procedures that are typically performed only in an inpatient setting on the workers' compensation Official Medical Fee Schedule for ambulatory surgical center facility fees. The authors used interviews, literature review, and data analysis to assemble information on the requi...

In this paper, we present recent developments in the AltErgo SMT-solver to e ciently discharge proof obligations (POs) generated by Atelier B. This includes a new plugin architecture to facilitate experiments with di erent SAT engines, new heuristics to handle quantied formulas, and important modi cations in its internal data structures to boost performances of core decision procedures. Experim...

INTRODUCTION Phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) involves the use of environmentally benign organocatalysts, mild reaction conditions, and simple experimental procedures that are insensitive to air/moisture and amenable to large-scale processes. Furthermore, the use of inexpensive inorganic bases such as NaOH in place of expensive moisture-sensitive hydride, alkoxide and amide bases makes PTC an att...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are increasingly becoming accepted for many EPC Network applications. However, RFID systems have some privacy problems. In this paper, a system for missing child location tracking in the EPC Network applications, is proposed. The proposed system improves security and privacy compared to existing applications, while also keeping in line with traditio...
