“Guillain-Barr, syndrome, an acute autoimmune polyneuropathy and demyelinating disease, is characterized by weakness, sensory loss, areflexia, pain, autonomic dysfunction, and occasionally, micturition disturbances including voiding difficulty, urinary retention, nocturnal urinary frequency, and urge incontinence. Typically, urinary dysfunction resolves simultaneously with other neurologic deficits. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman with Guillain-Barr, syndrome and persistent urinary retention 18 months following initial diagnosis. This patient is the first described in the literature to undergo successful treatment with sacral neuromodulation. Immediately following neuromodulator placement, the patient voided INCB018424 spontaneously and has had no voiding dysfunction or postvoid residual after 5 months of follow-up.”
“A

criterion defined as theta = (T(x)+T(g))/T(l)[(T(x)-T(g))/T(l)](alpha) (where T(x) is the onset crystallization temperature. T(g) is the glass transition temperature, T(l) is liquidus temperature. and alpha is an exponent) is proposed to evaluate the glass-forming ability of alloy systems. Regression analysis between the logarithm of the critical cooling rate In R(c) and theta yields value of alpha = 0.0728. There exists a fine linear relationship between criterion theta and In R(c) with a

coefficient of determination CHIR98014 ic50 R(2) = 0.942. The obtained relationship can be expressed as: In R(c) = (30.10 +/- 0.91)-(27.93 +/- 0.97) theta. The comparisons of theta with all other relevant parameters: phi=T(rg)[(T(x)-T(g))/T(g)](0.143), gamma[=T(x)/(T(l)+T(g))], Trg(=T(g)/T(l)), beta[=T(x)T(g)/(T(l)-T(x))(2)], delta[=T(c)/(T(l)-T(g))] show that this criterion has the best ability for evaluating the GFA of alloys.

“Transobturator tape procedure using small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is designed for the diminishment of the complications of tension-free vaginal tape procedures, and SIS can lower the erosion rate of mesh. However, we here report a case which developed graft-versus-host disease following the use of SIS for the transobturator procedure.”
“Surface modification of a magnetic recording medium was accomplished by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA). The carbon overcoat of thin-film disks was removed by Ar(+) ion sputter etching ill vacuum to prevent oxidation of the exposed magnetic medium. which was then modified by FCVA carbon plasma under conditions of zero and -100 V pulsed Substrate bias.
