On wormholes with long throats and the stability problem
We construct explicit examples of globally regular static, spherically symmetric solutions of general relativity with a phantom scalar field as the source of gravity, describing traversable wormholes with flat asymptotic regions on both sides of the ...

A study of fungal infections in ear, nose and throat
Background: There is increase in the incidence of fungal infections in ear, nose and throat in recent times with increased use of cytotoxic drugs, broad spectrum antibiotics and immune-suppressive agents and advent of HIV infection.

Cancer of the Throat: A Physician’s Experience as a Patient
The author, a practicing physician, was diagnosed with throat cancer and lost his vocal cords. He endured the side effects of radiation, repeated surgeries, and the effects of prolonged hospitalizations; confronted medical mistakes and discrimination ...

A patient preference study that evaluated fluticasone furoate and mometasone furoate nasal sprays for allergic rhinitis [PDF]
Background: Corticosteroid nasal sprays are the mainstay of treatment for allergic rhinitis. These sprays have sensory attributes such as scent and/or odor, taste and aftertaste, and run down the throat and/or the nose, which, when unpleasant, can affect

Self-force of a point charge in the space-time of a symmetric wormhole
We consider the self-energy and the self-force for an electrically charged particle at rest in the wormhole space-time. We develop general approach and apply it to two specific profiles of the wormhole throat with singular and with smooth curvature.

Geometric structure of the generic static traversable wormhole throat [PDF]
Traversable wormholes have traditionally been viewed as intrinsically topological entities in some multiply connected spacetime. Here, we show that topology is too limited a tool to accurately characterize a generic traversable wormhole: in general one ...

BackgroundTo understand the relationship between our bacterial microbiome and health, it is essential to define the microbiome in the absence of disease. The digestive tract includes diverse habitats and hosts the human body's greatest bacterial density.

We present a formula that relates the variations of the area of extreme throat initial data with the variation of an appropriate defined mass functional. From this expression we deduce that the first variation, with fixed angular momentum, of the area is
