A de Finetti Representation Theorem for Quantum Process Tomography

In quantum process tomography, it is possible to express the experimenter's prior information as a sequence of quantum operations, i.e., trace-preserving completely positive maps. In analogy to de Finetti's concept of exchangeability for probability distributions, we give a definition of exchangeability for sequences of quantum operations. We then state and prove a representation theorem for such exchangeable sequences. The theorem leads to a simple characterization of admissible priors for quantum process tomography and solves to a Bayesian's satisfaction the problem of an unknown quantum operation.Comment: 10 page

Pain Relieve after Impacted Wisdom Teeth Extraction Dependent on the Drug Therapy

Purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined therapy using nonsteroid anti-inflammatory analgetics and corticosteroids, and the effects of the mono-therapy with same drugs for post-operative pain after surgical removal of the impacted mandibular third molar. The study was completed at the Department of Oral Surgery and at the Department of Dental Medicine of the Public Institute Health Center Zenica in Zenica. The research included 60 patients divided into 3 groups using random selection, including both sexes. Age range was between 18 and 45 years. All participants came without any pain or other inflammatory symptoms at the time of oral surgical intervention. Two medicaments were prescribed after the impacted tooth removal: 15 mg of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory analgesic drug (Meloxicam, Bosnalijek, BiH) and 32 mg Methylprednisolone (corticosteroid, Bosnalijek, BiH). Both medicaments were applied per os, according to schedule determined by the research protocol. The level of post-surgical pain was evaluated by the 1–10 visual analog scale (VAS). One way ANOVA was made with Tuckey post-hoc tests. Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found between the group treated with mono therapy and the group treated with combined therapy. Application of mono therapy using only corticosteroids or only nonsteroid anti-inflammatory pain-killers was less effective compared to the combined therapy with both medicaments after surgical removal of the impacted mandibular third molar

Guidelines for choosing between multi-item and single-item scales for construct measurement: A predictive validity perspective

Establishing predictive validity of measures is a major concern in marketing research. This paper investigates the conditions favoring the use of single items versus multi-item scales in ter

Učestalost humanog papilomavirusa 16 i Epstein-Barrova virusa kod bolesnika s oralnim karcinomom pločastih stanica

It has been suggested that certain viruses such as human papillomaviruses (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) might have a role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, results of the published studies are controversial and are dependent on the geographic distribution and methods of sampling and sample analysis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV 16 and EBV in OSCC patients. In 24 patients with OSCC (mean age 59.6±8.8) and 30 controls (mean age 49.1±8.3), 5 mL of blood was collected to determine the prevalence of EBV by serologic methods. In addition, swabs were obtained to analyze the presence of HPV 16 and EBV by use of polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis was performed by use of Mann Whitney test, χ2-test and Spearman correlation test. The results of this study showed that there were no significant differences between OSCC patients and control subjects according to the presence of EBV or HPV 16. Therefore, it can be concludedČini se kako određeni virusi poput humanih papilomavirusa (HPV) i Epstein-Barrova virusa (EBV) mogu imati ulogu u nastanku karcinoma pločastih stanica u usnoj šupljini (OPCK). Ipak, rezultati objavljenih istraživanja na tu temu su kontroverzni i ovise o geografskoj distribuciji i metodama uzimanja uzoraka odnosno raščlambi uzoraka. Cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio odrediti učestalost HPV 16 i EBV u osoba s OPCK. U 24 osobe s OPCK (srednje dobi 59,6±8,8) i u 30 kontrolnih ispitanika (srednje dobi 49,1±8,3) je uzeto 5 mL krvi kako bi se odredio EBV serološkim metodama. Uz to su uzeti i brisevi kako bi se odredila prisutnost HPV 16 i EBV uz pomoć reakcije lančane polimeraze. Statistička analiza je napravljena pomoću Mann-Whitneyeva testa, χ2-testa i Spearmanova korelacijskog testa. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja pokazuju kako nije bilo znakovitih razlika između osoba s OPCK i kontrolnih ispitanika s obzirom na prisutnost HPV 16 ili EBV. Može se zaključiti kako ovi virusi u našoj populaciji oboljelih od OPCK vjerojatno nemaju veliku ulogu

Salivary Analytes in Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Literature data indicates that measurement of certain salivary constituents might serve as a useful diagnostic/prognostic tool in the patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In 24 patients with OSCC (60±2.5yrs) and in 24 controls (24±3.7yrs) we have determined levels of salivary magnesium, calcium, copper, chloride, phosphate, potassium, sodium, total proteins and amylase. Sodium, potasium and chloride were determined by indirect potentiometry whereas copper, magnesium and phosphate were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Total proteins were determined by pyrogalol colorimetric method. Amylase levels were determined by continued colorimetric method. Statistical analysis was performed by use of c2 test and Spearman´s correlation test. The results of this study indicate that the concentrations of sodium and chloride were significantly elevated in patients with OSCC when compared to the controls. However, level of total protein was significantly decreased when compared to the healthy controls. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between alcohol consumption and total protein concentration in patients with oral carcinoma. We might conclude that in patients with OSCC increased salivary sodium and chloride might reflect their overall dehydration status due to alcohol consumption rather than consequence of OSCC iteself
