“At Noon of Night”: Intimism in Robert Herrick's Hesperides |
. In.Hesperides, poetic imagination seems to take two apparently opposed directions: on the one hand, Robert Herrick skilfully rearranges classical materials drawn from the Anacreontics, the Renaissance translators of Greek and Latin light p~etI» or t~e contemporary yeo-classic It~ia? or English poets-harmoniously ming... |
Efficient and exact collision detection is important to improve reality and enhance immersion of virtual environment of NC(numerical control) lathe system. We introduce two techniques to improve efficiency and speed up the collision detection process. First, we adopt a spatial partitioning system and bounding volumes h... |
The electrogastrogram (EGG), a cutaneous measurement of gastric electrical activity, is a mixture of gastric slow waves and noise, which makes analysis of multichannel EGGs difficult. A novel blind signal separation method with a flexible non-linearity is introduced and applied to extract gastric slow waves from multic... |
Osteolytic metastases are often associated with decreased renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate. There is, however, no specific data on phosphate metabolism in metastases from prostatic cancer, which are generally osteoblastic. The aim of the present study was to investigate renal handling of inorganic phosphate (Pi)... |
Geoffrey Mure, who died on 24 May 1979 at the age of 86, owed his original interest in Hegel, and indeed the greater part of his philosophical education, to his Merton tutor H.H. Joachim, later Wykeham Professor of Logic at Oxford. Joachim was an accomplished philosophical scholar who did distinguished work on Aristotl... |
Presently, there is a paucity of knowledge about Pilayella littoralis and the factors influencing its proliferation on the southern facing coast of Cape Cod, MA. Over the past 20 years, the seaweed has moved along the coast from Falmouth to Chatham, and there is concern for the effects on onshore and nearshore habitats... |

PURPOSE |
Tubal reanastomosis typically requires a laparotomy and in the past few years has been performed much less frequently due to the development and success of in vitro fertilization. Laparoscopic tubal anastomosis eliminates the need for laparotomy and can be performed in an out-patient setting. |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
From October 2003 to September 2004, five patients who had previous tubal sterilization and requested tubal reanastomosis underwent laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis with the use of the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA). |
RESULTS |
Ten fallopian tubes were successfully reconstructed, as confirmed by chromopertubation at the end of the procedure. Patency was confirmed by hysterosalpingogram in seven out of eight tubes. The mean (+/- standard deviation) time of the procedure was 172 +/- 53 min. The mean time for docking the robotic arms to the pati... |
CONCLUSION |
Laparoscopic microsurgical tubal reanastomosis after tubal sterilization can be performed using a remote-controlled robotic system. Systematization of the operative steps allowed for operative times that compare favorably with the time needed for open microsurgical techniques. Larger series are needed to standardize th... |
Atherosclerosis has an impact on the vasomotor reaction of coronary segments to iodinated non-ionic contrast agents. Angiographically normal coronary segments show divergent vasomotor reactions to iodixanol or iopromide according to the presence of, and distance from, a coronary atherosclerotic lesion. The mechanism re... |
The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) receives a dense dopaminergic innervation and expresses dopamine receptors. However, little is known about the effect of dopamine on GABAergic transmission in this region of the brain. In this study, we recorded GABAA receptor-mediated spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIP... |
The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contains a subset of closely‐apposed neuronal somata (NS) separated solely by a thin satellite glial cell (SGC) membrane septum to form an NS–glial cell–NS trimer. We recently reported that stimulation of one NS with an impulse train triggers a delayed, noisy and long‐lasting response in ... |
This chapter explores the distinction between “abuse of Executive and/or congressional power” versus “maladministration” and argues that in the democratic context the former cannot properly be collapsed as but a subset of the latter. It is contended that such abuse of power involves a violation of the public trust base... |
This paper proposes that current approaches to haptic graph visualisation (by simply presenting a simple haptic equivalent of a visual graph) are inadequate. We present a short background to graph theory perception and identify the problems of current graph haptic visualisation. We then propose ideas influenced by both... |
The ER protein tapasin (Tpn) forms a bridge between MHC class I H chain (HC)/β2-microglobulin and the TAP peptide transporter. The function of this TAP-associated complex was unclear because it was reported that soluble Tpn that has lost TAP interaction would be fully competent in terms of peptide loading and Ag presen... |
Arsenic concentrations in the habitat and the prey of the Red-Crowned Crane (i.e. reed rhizomes and three aquatic animal families [Perccottus glehni Dybowski, Cybister japonicus Sharp and Viviparidae]) were analyzed to examine the bioaccumulation of arsenic in Red-Crowned Cranes in northeastern China. The results indic... |
THOC6 is the genetic basis of autosomal recessive THOC6 Intellectual Disability Syndrome (TIDS). THOC6 facilitates the formation of the Transcription Export complex (TREX) tetramer, composed of four THO monomers. The TREX tetramer supports mammalian mRNA processing that is distinct from yeast TREX dimer functions. Huma... |

OBJECTIVE |
This study examines whether family practice residents are receiving adequate training in the evaluation and treatment of pain during their residencies. |
DESIGN |
A survey of the training directors of all family practice residency programs in the United States (n = 390) was conducted by mail. Questions were included regarding the residency programs and training in and knowledge of common pain conditions and therapies. |
PARTICIPANTS |
Of all the training directors surveyed, 258 (66%) responded. |
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE |
The relationship between adequate training in pain and the characteristics of the residency programs was examined. |
RESULTS |
Twenty-nine percent of the training directors who responded considered that their residents received adequate training in the recognition and treatment of pain. Adequate training correlated with rotation through pain services and the number of hours of lecture on pain provided. While the majority of program directors r... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Family practice training directors do not believe their residents are receiving adequate training in pain. In light of previous studies indicating the importance of providing proper pain treatment, enhanced teaching on this subject during residency appears to be needed.Assessment of the antitumor activity of a cyclopal... |
One cyclopalladated ferrocene compound CP was synthesized, which showed a good cell cytotoxicity. Assisted by a dual-targeting drug delivery system, the anticancer activity of CP to MDA-MB-468 remained unchanged, but the toxicity to non-tumorigenic cell line NIH3T3 was remarkably reduced. This provided a new path for t... |
BACKGROUND |
Exercise improves physical functioning and symptom management during breast cancer chemotherapy, but the effects of different doses and types of exercise are unknown. |
METHODS |
A multicenter trial in Canada randomized 301 breast cancer patients to thrice-weekly supervised exercise during chemotherapy consisting of either a standard dose of 25 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (STAN; n = 96), a higher dose of 50 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise (HIGH; n = 101), or a combined dose of 50 to 60 ... |
RESULTS |
Follow-up assessment of patient-reported outcomes was 99.0%. Adjusted linear mixed-model analyses showed that neither HIGH (+0.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.8 to 2.4; P = .30) nor COMB (+0.5; 95% CI = -1.1 to 2.1; P = .52] were superior to STAN for the primary outcome. In secondary analyses not adjusted for mult... |
