Role of ultrasound

In both groups (patients with epilepsy and healthy controls) we used a questionnaire Epworth Scale of Sleepiness (ESS) (Johns, 1991). By answering eight questions about probability of falling asleep in standard situations we came to the result, i.e. score of daytime sleepiness ranging from 0 to 24. Rate 0-9 is considered as normal value, above 9 as elevated daytime sleepiness and value above 16 is considered as remarkably elevated daytime sleepiness (Watanabe et al., 2003).

The issue of intervention of the internally displaced person should, as a matter of importance, be reconsidered by the united Nation. This is in view of the fact that the united Nation High commission for Refuges (UNHCR) only extends protection or assistance to idps when the UN secretary general or the UN general assembly has requested the agency to do so. The idps indeed fall between the cracks of current humanitarian law and assistance, unlike the refugees who are solely the burden of UNHCR. The role of the national refuges commission of...

Arterial CO2 tension is a powerful modulator of cerebral vascular calibre, CBF and ICP (12-15.) While the mechanisms are incompletely understood, CO2 relaxes pial arterioles by interactions between the endothelium, vascular smooth muscle, pericytes, adjacent neurons and glial cells. Studies supported that cerebral vessels are sensitive to changes in extracellular pH, rather than a direct response to CO2 or bicarbonate. In the limits of physiological PaCO2, 20-60 mmHg, the relationship between PaCO2 and CBF is linear.

Those Albanians with dependent family members in the home country tend to send small amounts on a regular basis, usually via courier. Others who do not regularly remit tend to save larger amounts, which they take with them upon returning to Albania. In addition, several Greek banks have begun operations in Albania, facilitating the flow of remittances and opening opportunities for greater financial access for remittance senders and their families. Out-migration of people from Portugal paralleled the growth of remittances received.

CO measurement options include bag collection and lab analysis, colour-change diffusion tubes and electro-chemical monitors. PM measurement options include gravimetric monitors (pump and filter method) and light-scattering devices. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods are discussed, including cost, ease-of-use, accuracy, size detection and time-keeping. The choice of method depends on the context, i.e. the purpose of the project or programme, the capacity of staff and available financial and human resources.

Thus was created a perfectly uniform currency for the transactions of commerce, and bank money rose at once to an agio, or premium above the current coin. This premium varied from time to time. It may be looked upon as nearly equal to, and generally as representing the average depreciation of the current coin below its nominal value. The Bank of Amsterdam, after its first establishment, admitted no new subscribers; but it sold bank money to all who wished to purchase, at a premium varying with the market price.

Agile methodology advocates often find it difficult to obtain management support for implementing what seem like dramatic changes in application development. These methodologies require developers, managers and users alike to change the way they work and think. For example, the XP practices of pair programming, test-first design, continuous integration, and an on-site customer can seem like daunting changes to implement.

It is usually best to keep the board at a manageable size. Building an effective board starts with a review of the composition of the board and the needs of the organization for specific skills, knowledge and experience. From this the organization can develop profiles of the positions it needs and begin recruiting to fill them.
