A r（k,1）-1 vertices connected graph is called a （k,l）-Ramsey graph denoted by RG（k,l）,if and only if 1. RG（k,l） contains only cliques of degree k-1, and its complement contains only cliques of degree l-l; 2. the intersect Qi∩Qj of any two nonadjacent vertices vi and vj of RG（k,1） contains Kk.2, and the intersect Qi∩Qj of any two nonadjacent vertices vi and vj of its complement RG（l,k） contains KI.2. Two theorems that theoreml ： the biggest clique in G is contained in some Qi of G, and theorem2： r（k,l）= [ V（RG（k,I）） I ＋1 are put forward and proved in this paper. With those definitions and theorems as well as analysis of property of chords a method for quick inspection and building RG（k,I） is proposed. Accordingly, RG（10,3） and its complement are built, which are respectively the strongly 29-regular graph and the strongly 10-regular graph on orders 40. We have tested RG（10,3） and its complement RG（3,10）,and gotten r（3,10）=41.展开更多

Methods: This study included 27 patients with PHPT properly diagnosed and treated in the NCI, Cairo University from January 2005 to December 2010. Preoperative neck U/S and Tc-99m-MIBI scintigraphy were done in all cases. If preoperative localization detected a single lesion, unilateral exploration was done. Bilateral exploration was done if multiple foci of active parathyroid glands or no lesions were detected. Results: This study included 27 patients (8 males and 19 females). The median age was 43 years (range from 19 to 68 years). All cases presented with bone disease in the form of bony pain in 23 patients, bony swellings in 15 patients and pathological fractures in 6 cases. Twenty one patients (77.8%) had single adenoma, 5 cases (18.5%) had parathyroid hyperplasia, and only one case had double adenomas. The sensitivity of neck U/S in detecting single adenoma was 61.9% (13/21), with 81% positive predictive value (PPV) while the sensitivity of Tc-99m-MIBI scintigraphy was 90.5% (19/21) with 100% PPV. Based on preoperative localization tests, unilateral exploration was done in 19 patients with solitary adenomas. All cases in this group were cured with no reported case of persistent or recurrent hypercalcemia. Conclusion: Presentation of PHPT may mimic malignant bone tumors but fortunately these patients were correctly diagnosed with bone scan which confirm the presence of metabolic bone disease rather than bone metastases. This was followed by estimation of serum calcium and parathormone levels for confirmation. Unilateral exploration based on the combination of ultrasound and preoperative localization by Tc-99m-MIBI scintigraphy was effective and could replace the standard bilateral neck exploration in cases with solitary adenoma. Bilateral neck exploration was required for suspected bilateral disease, hyperplasia or non visualized parathyroids.展开更多

NF （non-specific factors） involved in treatment are all those effects that do not depend on the pharmacological properties of the drug. Materials and Methods： The job lasted a year. The sample consisted of patients with mental health disorders and was divided into two groups. Treatment compliance was measured with the Morisky-Green Test. Results were compared using the chi square test and relative risk. Results and Discussion： Group A had 23 patients ending 91.3% of them and group B of 22 patients, ending the 77.27%. At the beginning of the study, we found in the group A 0.86 NF/patients while in the group B 0.82 NF/patient. At the end of the study there was a 54.65% decrease in group A while in group B the proportion remained. At the beginning of the study both groups had approximately 40% of compliant patients. Data that remained in the control group rose to 80.95% in group A at the end of the study. Conclusions： The work demonstrates the negative influence of these factors on adherence to treatment.展开更多
