BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study compared the risk of subdural hematoma (SDH) and subsequent mortality in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with ESRD. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Claims data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Administration Research Database in Taiwan. This retrospective cohort study comprised 10,136 PD patients and 10...

Among motor vehicle crash head injuries, subdural hematomas (SDH) are both frequent and lifethreatening, especially for older occupants. Previous research on the mechanism of injury and on the increased vulnerability of older individuals to SDH has focused on the failure of bridging veins, which are one possible source of subdural bleeding. For all age groups, the injury mechanism and injury to...

We derive some tight equivalence reductions between several Strong Diffie-Hellman (SDH) assumptions. 1 Results Let ê : G1 × G2 → GT be a bilinear mapping. The k-Strong Diffie-Hellman Problem (k-SDH) is the problem of computing a pair (g 1 , x) given g1 ∈ G1, and g2, g γ 2 , g γ2 2 , · · · , g γ 2 ∈ G2. The k-Strong Diffie-Hellman Assumption is that no PPT algorithm has a non-negligible probabil...

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a rare, but life-threatening complication of spinal anesthesia. Subdural hematoma resulting from this procedure could present with vague symptoms such as chronic headache and could easily be missed. Chronic headache is one of the symptoms of chronic SDH in postpartum women. Diplopia as the presenting complaint in SDH secondary to peripartum spinal anesthesia has not, ...

Little is known about how health care organizations are developing tools for identifying/addressing patients' social determinants of health (SDH). We describe the processes recently used by 6 organizations to develop SDH screening tools for ambulatory care and the barriers they faced during those efforts. Common processes included reviewing literature and consulting primary care staff. The orga...

Burr hole drainage has been widely used to treat chronic subdural hematomas (SDH), and most of them are easily treated by simple trephination and drainage. However, various complications, such as, hematoma recurrence, infection, seizure, cerebral edema, tension pneumocephalus and failure of the brain to expand due to cerebro-cranial disproportion may develop after chronic SDH drainage. Among th...

We have pointed out the possibilities of quantum Hall effect (QHE) and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation in transportation strongly magnetized degenerate quark matter- expected inside highly dense compact star, such as neutron star. The anisotropic pattern electrical conductivity resistivity tensor is explored classical to cases by considering Landau quantization quarks presence a finite magn...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) comprise a heterogeneous group of the most common mesenchymal neoplasms gastrointestinal tract. The majority GIST are induced by activating, mutually exclusive mutations two genes – KIT and PDGFRA (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha). However, approximately 10–15% GISTs lack oncogenic or these often called “wild type” (WT) GISTs. SDH-deficient ...

This note is an exposition of reductions among the q-strong Diffie-Hellman problem and related problems. 1 The q-Strong Diffie-Hellman Problem We discuss reductions among the q-strong Diffie-Hellman (q-sDH) problem [1, 3] and related problems. We use the following notation: 1. G1 and G2 are two cyclic groups of prime order p. 2. g1 is a generator of G1 and g2 is a generator of G2. 3. ψ is an is...

We report a case of right tentorium subdural hematoma (SDH) in a 72-year-old man a few days after he visited a sanitas per aqua (SPA) facility. He had directed high-pressure water onto his head and neck. The patient was admitted to the emergency room during his 3rd day of severe throbbing and generalized headache. Cerebral computed tomography revealed a high-density SDH over the right tentorium...
