Certified upper bounds for Fejes Tóth's point-goalie problem at n = 4 and 5
In 1974 László Fejes Tóth posed the following problem: place n points in the plane so asto minimise the largest distance from a line meeting the unit-radius disc to the nearestpoint. Writing r_n for the optimum, he proved r_1 = r_2 = 1 and r_3 = 3/5 exactly, gaveconstructions sho...

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY ATTENDING ENDOCRINE UNITS IN MOSUL CITY
Background: Precocious puberty is the abnormal early onset of puberty, defined by the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys. It results from either independent sex hormone secretion (peripheral/gonadotropin-independent) or p...

CLINICAL APPROACHING OF PEDIATRIC EPILEPSY MANAGEMENT
Seizures are characterized as brief episodes of symptoms brought on by the abnormal, excessive, or synchronous brain neuronal activity that is marked by sudden and involuntary movement of the skeletal muscles. Early detection, therapy, and specialized medical assistance must be c...

The "Hard Problem of Consciousness" is a Choice: The Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC)
The “Hard Problem of Consciousness,” articulated by David Chalmers, asks how physical brain processes give rise to subjective experience. This paper demonstrates that the problem is not an intrinsic physical mystery, but a self-inflicted category error produced by inverting the o...

Use of neurolytic nerve blocks and mortality in nonoperative management of hip fracture patients
Aims: Nonoperative management may be suitable for very frail hip fracture patients; in these instances, neurolytic nerve blocks with phenol could act as a long-term analgesic, with potentially fewer disadvantages compared with systemic analgesia. While neurolytic nerve blocks are...
