However, physicians may be faced with genetic findings for which there is lack of management evidence, despite some progress in understanding their clinical relevance. I...
Background & Aims: Unsedated colonoscopy can be painful, poorly tolerated by patients, and associated with unsatisfactory technical performance. Previous studies report an advantage of water exchange over conventional air insufflation in reducing pain during unsedated colonoscopy.

We describe a case of a young male patient presenting with a panmural form of the disease, manifested by abdominal pain, distention, and watery diarrhea with 4 days of evolution, bowel wall thicken...
Neste trabalho nós mostramos como determinar o potencial efetivo para uma teoria com quebra espontânea de simetria.
Neste trabalho nós mostramos como obter o potencial efetivo a partir do funcional gerador das funções de Green da teoria e qual é sua interpretação. A convexidade do potencial efetivo também é provada.
