Abstract OBJECTIVES: To assess the histologic changes in the prostate and the clinical outcome in men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) following transurethral fulguration of the prostate (TUFP) with the roller ball. METHODS: The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase of the study, histologic changes in the prostate following fulguration with the roller ball were studied in 10 men with BPH who were already scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate…

Does eccentric loading improve symptoms of chronic Achilles tendinopathy in adults? Tendinopathy is known as an overuse injury and often linked to patients who participate in sports which involve repetitive running and jumping, however one third of all patients live a non-active life style (Habets et al., 2014). Eccentric loading, injections, shockwave therapy, modified rest and NSAID’S are all management strategies suggested over the years for the management & treatment of Achilles…

Problem solving is an ability that humans have that is so refined that separates us from other species. Our process to critically think and solve situations helps us in everyday situations and in even more dire situations. However, this skill can make us miss important information. Previously, many studies that have been done have shown that base rate information is affected with diagnostic information being present. During this experiment, we will also try to replicate the results that previous…

Also, group (A) showed statistical significant decrease in number of intubation attempts in comparison to group (B) denoting easier nasal intubation attempts in group (A). Patients in group (A) showed decrease in number of patients developed hypoxia during intubation attempts in…

Discussion The results of this study partially support the first hypothesis: that there would be greater priming effects for negatively valanced words in the meaning judgement task than in the letter search task. Negatively valanced words did have stronger priming effects than positively valenced words. In contrast to this hypothesis, while priming effect was larger for the meaning task than the lettersearch task, this difference was not significant. The second hypothesis was that priming would…

Contemporary studies of lumbar disc surgery document postoperative success rates between 49% and 97%7,8. Predictors of outcome include epidemiological, clinical, radiographic and psychosocial aspects7,9,10. Also the type of lumbar disc herniation (prolapse or protrusion vs. extrusion or sequestration) appears to be relevant for prediction of outcome, but not the anatomical position (paramedian, postero-lateral, intraforaminal and extraforaminal) of the lumbar disc herniation with the exception…

biology .Also it presents different statistical methods that can be used in different studies. The basic statistical concepts should be known. The subject of statistics includes, design of a study that it will provide the biologist with the most information efficiently, Collection of the data by using different sampling methods, and analysis of the data using different statistical tests. It is not necessary to understand the exact methodology of every statistical test used, but it is necessary…

would be recalled when the learning and recall environments were the same’. The results showed that recall was slightly higher when there was a change in environment between learning and recall, although the difference between conditions was of no statistical significance. In light of this, the research hypothesis has been rejected. • Introduction From 1930’s until now several context-dependent memory recall experiments held by psychologists like Pessin (1932), Farsnworth (1934),…

North Andaman Islands (NAI) are one of the major island groups of Andaman and Nicobar archipelagos (Fig.1), consisting tropical rainforest encompassing varied species richness and diversity coupled with high endemism (Prasad et al..). As per Champion and Seth [year] the predominant forest types of the study area are Andaman Evergreen (EG), Andaman Semi-evergreen (SEG), Andaman Moist deciduous (MD), Littoral and Mangrove forests. Major part of the island is covered with SEG which is scattered at…

Recent developments in the study of cognitive facial recognition have perceived a determination that there are several areas that function to facilitate this action. The purpose of the study performed by WB Thompson, JH Mueller was to verify the hemispheric conditions and limitations in facial recognition. The core consideration was the aspect that primarily lateralisation of cortical functioning has consistently used facial stimulation. This has been conjectured due to the concept that…
