Alleviation of skin lesions and bone pain in patients with SAPHO after tonsillectomy
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tonsillectomy on skin lesions and bone pain in patients with synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO).Methods Patients with SAPHO who were refractory to conservative treatment and then received tonsillectomy were recruited.The skin lesions were evaluated using palmoplantar pustulosis are
Low-frequency noise analysis on asymmetric damage and self-recovery behaviors of ZnSnO thin-film transistors under hot copyright stress
Abstract The need for understanding the low-frequency noise (LFN) of metal oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (TFTs) is increasing owing to the substantial effects of LFN in various circuit applications.A focal point of inquiry pertains to the examination of LFN amidst bias stress conditions, known to compromise TFT reliability.In this study
South African paramedic perspectives on prehospital palliative care
Abstract Background Palliative care is typically performed in-hospital.However, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers are uniquely positioned to deliver early palliative care as they are often the first point of medical contact.The aim of this study was to gather the perspectives of advanced life support (ALS) providers within the South African
