PURPOSES: The study is to describe a new surgical technique for correcting large Hand Mask orbital implant exposure with extraocular muscle flaps and to propose a treatment algorithm for orbital implant exposure.METHODS: In a retrospective study, seven patients with orbital implant exposure were treated with extraocular muscle flaps.All data were c
This paper studies the implication of channel discrepancy between the retail and direct channels in a dual-channel supply chain consisting of one common retailer and two manufacturers in which the manufacturers may have different market powers.Each manufacturer provides a substitutable product and opens an online channel to customers directly.We de
The interaction in the solar wind between two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is investigated using numerical simulations.We show that the nature of the interaction depends on whether the CME magnetic structures interact, but in all cases the result is an equilisation of the speed of the two CMEs.In the absence of magnetic interaction, the forward sh
Anopheles mosquitoes have transmitted Plasmodium parasites for millions of years, yet it remains unclear whether they suffer fitness costs to infection.Here we report that the fecundity of virgin and mated females of two important vectors-Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi-is not affected by infection with Plasmodium falciparum, demonstratin
Prostate cancer and its associated treatments can cause significant and lasting morbidities, such as cardiovascular and sexual dysfunctions.Various interventions have attempted to prevent or mitigate these dysfunctions.This review summarises the available evidence on the Pants effects of exercise training on markers of cardiovascular disease (as as
