Many military concepts for future employment of unmanned systems will require coordinated action by teams of unmanned vehicles and often manned/unmanned teams. The effectiveness of these heterogeneous military teams will rely on their ability to perform in dynamic, stressful situations as well as pure human teams do to... |
An ocular cysticercosis case of a 42-year-old male, who presented with anterior uveitis is being reported. Microscopical examination of the cyst revealed presence of only one hooklet suggestive of T. solium cysticercus. Mitochondrial DNA analysis confirmed it to be T. solium cysticercus of Asian genotype. This is the f... |
Citrobacter koseri is a rare cause of liver abscess with two reported cases in diabetic patients. We report a rare case of C. koseri liver abscess with C. koseri bacteremia in an elderly male with chronic kidney disease. He presented vomiting and weakness without any other signs. He was diagnosed with liver abscess by ... |
People quickly form impressions about moral character; for example, if people learn that someone cheated, they form a negative impression about that person’s character and expect that person to cheat in the future. Four studies show that the formation of such moral character impressions depends on the degree of valence... |
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of anomalous coronary arteries presents several technical challenges to interventional cardiologists. Choosing the best guiding catheter and other equipment is crucial to the technical success of the procedure. We performed successful coronary angioplasty of an anomalous l... |
The lane detection function is an important aspect when constructing in-driving support systems. This function estimates the shape of the lane in which the vehicle is driving and the position of the vehicle within the lane. In this paper, we have proposed a lane detection algorithm that can not only operate on highways... |
From Sept. 1989 to Jan. 1994, processed fresh bovine pericardium was used for the repairment of stricture of extrahepatic bile duct in 6 cases (7 times). All patients have been followed up for 8 approximately 52 months (average 24 months). One case reoperated on for recurrent jaundice on 26th month postoperation. All c... |
BACKGROUND |
Several different sets of reference body mass index (BMI) values are available to define overweight in children. |
OBJECTIVE |
The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of overweight in US children calculated with 3 sets of reference BMI values: the revised growth charts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-US growth charts), international standards proposed by Cole et al, and values developed by Must et al. |
DESIGN |
Data for children and adolescents came from cross-sectional nationally representative US surveys: cycles II and III of the National Health Examination Survey (1963-1965 and 1966-1970) and the first, second, and third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys: NHANES I (1971-1974), II (1976-1980), and III (1988-... |
RESULTS |
The 3 methods gave similar but not identical results. The reference values of Cole et al gave lower estimates than did the CDC-US growth charts for young children but higher estimates for older children. The reference values of Must et al gave much higher prevalences for younger girls than did the other 2 methods. |
CONCLUSIONS |
Differences between methods were related to differences in data sets, smoothing methods, and theoretical approaches. All 3 methods are based on statistical criteria and incorporate arbitrary assumptions. These methods should be used cautiously, with awareness of the possible limitations.Report of the Special Rapporteur... |

The three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffolds were prepared by partial cross-linking of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibril/alginate hydrogel using calcium ions for printing the hydrogel while maintaining its shape, fidelity, and preventing the collapse of the filaments. The prepared scaffolds were fully cross-linked us... |

Globally, cervical cancer affects approximately 490 000 women each year resulting in 270 000 mortalities.1 In 2012 only in Europe there were 58,300 new diagnoses and nearly 24,400 deaths.2 According to a study by the International Agency of Research for Cancer, it is expected that the mortality due to cancer may double... |

Internet of Things (IoT) is a large-scale distributed network which connects smart products and things by the internet. Consequent to the exponential growth of this field is a rise in security and privacy challenges rooted in the vulnerability of smart hosts. This paper focuses on addressing a key security goal of the ... |
The linguistic dimensions of globalized hip-hop cannot be understood simply as a byproduct of English as an American export. As hip-hop mobilizes, it is common (and arguably necessary) for global hip-hop communities to struggle through purposeful, semiotically rooted dialectics over what constitutes “authentic” and res... |
BACKGROUND |
Parecoxib was the first COX-2 available for parenteral administration, and may, given intravenously or intramuscularly, offer advantages over oral medication when patients have nausea and vomiting or are unable to swallow, such as in the immediate postoperative period. |
OBJECTIVES |
Assess the efficacy of single dose intravenous or intramuscular parecoxib in acute postoperative pain, the requirement for rescue medication, and any associated adverse events. |
SEARCH STRATEGY |
We searched Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE in November 2008. |
SELECTION CRITERIA |
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of parecoxib compared with placebo for relief of acute postoperative pain in adults. |
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS |
Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. The area under the "pain relief versus time" curve was used to derive the proportion of participants with parecoxib and placebo experiencing at least 50% pain relief over 6 hours, using validated equations. The number-needed-to-treat-to-benefit... |
MAIN RESULTS |
Seven studies (1446 participants) were included. There was no significant difference between doses, or between intravenous and intramuscular administration for 50% pain relief over 6 hours: NNTs compared with placebo were 3.1 (2.4 to 4.5), 2.4 (2.1 to 2.8), and 1.8 (1.5 to 2.3) for 10, 20, and 40 mg parecoxib respectiv... |
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS |
A single dose of parecoxib 20 mg or 40 mg provided effective analgesia for 50 to 60% of those treated compared to about 15% with placebo, and was well tolerated. Duration of analgesia was longer, and significantly fewer participants required rescue medication over 24 hours with the higher dose.Narrative Therapy to Addr... |

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common medical disorder of pregnancy |
associated with adverse outcomes for the mother and infant. This disease may result in maternal and |
fetal morbidity and mortality. Although therapies are available for the management of diabetes, |
which includes anti-diabetic drugs and insulin injections, yet continuous use of synthetic drugs provides |
lower healing with many side effects. |
The continuous search for effective anti-diabetic drugs from a natural source is the main |
reason behind exploring marine resources for therapeutic and nutritional compounds. |
As major articles of interest in the field of marine flora for gestational diabetes have been |
found, so this review has been proposed based on relevant information. A description of the studies |
is included in the review. |
