Background and objectives: The prediction of difficult laryngoscopy is based on tests that assess anatomic characteristics of face and neck. We aimed to identify the most accurate tests and propose a multivariate predictive model.

Background: Unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy remains an important contributor to airway-related morbidity. Conventional bedside tests such as Modified Mallampati class, thyromental distance, sternomental distance and neck circumference are useful but

Background: Anaesthesiologists face difficult intubation (DI) more frequently in obese patients. Thus, we aimed to test if central obesity indices including hip circumference (HC), neck circumference (NC) or waist circumference (WC) can effectively ...

On reducing the cut ratio to the multicut problem
We compare two multicommodity flow problems, the maximum sum of flow, and the maximum concurrent flow. We show that, for a given graph and a given set of k commodities with specified demands, if the minimum capacity of a multicut is approximated by the ...
