Evaluation of Ropivacaine versus Ropivacaine with Fentanyl for Postoperative Epidural Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Abdominal Oncosurgeries- A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Introduction: Epidural analgesia has emerged as one of the preferred and convenient modes of intraoperative and postoperative management owing to advantage of not interfering with metabolic functions, better tolerability and decrease in reflex ...

Tailoring diffusion in analogue spacetimes [PDF]
Diffusive transport is characterized by the scaling law $(length)^{2}\propto(time)$. In this letter we show that this relationship is significantly altered in curved analogue spacetimes. This circumstance provides an opportunity to tailor diffusion: by a suitable design of the analogue metric, it is possible to create materials where diffusion is ...

A Fractal Approach to Characterize Emotions in Audio and Visual Domain: A Study on Cross-Modal Interaction [PDF]
It is already known that both auditory and visual stimulus is able to convey emotions in human mind to different extent. The strength or intensity of the emotional arousal vary depending on the type of stimulus chosen. In this study, we try to investigate the emotional arousal in a cross-modal scenario involving both auditory and visual stimulus while ...

Direct Visualization of Dislocation Dynamics in Grain Boundary Scars [PDF]
Mesoscale objects with unusual structural features may serve as the analogues of atoms in the design of larger-scale materials with novel optical, electronic or mechanical behaviour. In this paper we investigate the structural features and the equilibrium dynamics of micron-scale spherical crystals formed by polystyrene particles adsorbed on the ...

The visual analogue scale in the assessment of grip strength. [PDF]
The accuracy of information derived from a visual analogue scale has been assessed by comparing the measured grip strength of 100 subjects against their estimate of grip strength scored on a visual analogue scale. There was relatively poor correlation between the measured and assessed values, suggesting that similar inaccuracies may occur when the ...

Elastic Weyl points and surface arc states in 3D structures [PDF]
The study of Weyl points in electronic systems has inspired many recent researches in classical systems such as photonic and acoustic lattices. Here we show how the Weyl physics can also inspire the design of novel elastic structures. We construct a single-phase 3D structure, an analogue of the AA-stacked honeycomb lattice, and predict the existence of

Visual Analogue Scales for Pain Assessment in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
<i>Background:</i> In earlier studies, pain assessment in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was conducted by interview, for which reliability is questionable considering the decline in expressive and receptive language abilities in AD.
