Objective: To present a case series of patients who underwent surgical repair for glaucoma drainage device (GDD) tube exposure and conduct a systematic review to analyze results of various surgical techniques.Materials and Methods: This study provides the details of GDD tube exposure repair at our hospital.Additionally, a systematic review was cond
Several practical methods for accelerating the depletion calculation in a GPU-based Monte Carlo (MC) code PRAGMA are presented including the multilevel spectral collapse method and the vectorized Chebyshev rational approximation method (CRAM).Since the generation of microscopic reaction rates for each nuclide needed for the construction of the depl
ABSTRACTThe production of dissolved organic matter during phytoplankton blooms and consumption by heterotrophic prokaryotes promote marine carbon biogeochemical cycling.Although prokaryotic viruses presumably affect this process, their dynamics during blooms are not fully understood.Here, we investigated the effects of taxonomic difference in bloom
Background Radiation-associated dysphagia is a common and debilitating consequence of treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC).Since commonly employed dysphagia therapy programs for HNC patients still lack authoritative efficacy, some speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have started employing manual therapy (MT) techniques in an attempt to prevent
