The prognostic significance of the peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) has been carefully examined in lymphoid malignancies, but the importance of the baseline ALC in chronic myeloid neoplasms is less clear. In a recent analysis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with deletion of chromosome 5q, ... |
The development of a continuous flow multistep strategy for the synthesis of linear peptoids and their subsequent macrocyclization via Click chemistry is described. The central transformation of this process is an Ugi four-component reaction generating the peptidomimetic core structure. In order to avoid exposure to th... |
Interventional radiology (IR) is underrepresented in undergraduate medical school curricula. Despite the introduction of a suggested undergraduate curriculum for IR by the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR), current evidence suggests there is inadequate knowledge and awareness of IR amongst medical stud... |

The Value of the Neurometer in Assessing Diabetic Neuropathy by Measurement of the Current Perception Threshold |
The Neurometer is a relatively new device for assessing neuropathy by measuring current perception threshold (CPT). The study aim was to assess the ability of the Neurometer to distinguish between different types of nerve fibre damage by using different frequencies (2000 Hz, 250 Hz, and 5 Hz) of electric stimulus (high... |
OBJECTIVE |
To identify recruitment and retention issues for allied health professionals at two rural health services. |
DESIGN |
A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was used to collect the data which were analysed using thematic analysis. |
SETTING |
A regional public health service and a community health service in central eastern Victoria, Australia. |
PARTICIPANTS |
Eight final-year allied health students, 7 allied health or discipline managers, 18 current allied health staff and 10 former allied health staff participated in the interviews. Participants' professional backgrounds included: dentistry, dietetics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology, social work and speech... |
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES |
Recruitment and retention themes identified from the interview transcripts. |
RESULTS |
Career opportunities and social and community connections were significant for both recruitment and retention of all the participant groups. Financial incentives were important for recruiting staff, while organisational management and policy were important for retaining staff. Health service resources were a specific i... |
CONCLUSION |
A number of strategies can be used by health care organisations in rural areas to recruit staff, including: career progression, mentoring and profession development, connecting people with social networks and providing financial remuneration. To maximise staff retention, it is important to ensure that there are career ... |
Abstract Tofilon, P.J. and Fike, J.R. The Radioresponse of the Central Nervous System: A Dynamic Process. Radiation continues to be a major treatment modality for tumors located within and close to the central nervous system (CNS). Consequently, alleviating or protecting against radiation-induced CNS injury would be of... |
We have previously reported that primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) cultured on types I + III collagen were able to differentially regulate the production of major constitutive 92-kD gelatinase, minor 72-kD gelatinase, and their tissue-specific inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) i... |
OBJECTIVES |
This study examines shifts in sexual experience and condom use among US teenaged males. |
METHODS |
Results from the 1988 and 1995 National Surveys of Adolescent Males were compared. |
RESULTS |
The proportion of never-married 15- to 19-year-old males who had had sex with a female declined from 60% to 55% (P = .06). The share of those sexually active using a condom at last intercourse rose from 57% to 67% (P < .01). Overall, the proportion of males who had sex without condoms last year declined from 37% to 27%... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Although protective behaviors among teenagers have increased, significant proportions of teenagers--especially Black and Hispanic males--remain unprotected.Abbatoir Survey of Intestinal Parasites among Sheep in Katsina State, Nigeria |
Faecal samples collected from seven hundred sheep brought for slaughter in some abattoirs in six Local Government Areas of Katsina State were examined for presence of intestinal parasites. The samples were examined for eggs of parasites using direct smear and formol-ether concentration technique. The overall prevalence... |
To take the example of Africa, where many of the people are already starving: it is said that with proper management of agriculture and land use it could feed four times its population. However, from my experience many Africans do not find this convincing and want to reduce the numbers drawing on its resources. They un... |
historiography. Just occasionally, Hasel has not been comprehensive enough in providing a bibliographical tool. E.g., he cites approvingly the suggestion that J. K. W. Vatke was ’a great influence on J. Wellhausen’, but the reader is left ignorant of Lothar Perlitt’s book-length critique of this suggestion. One might l... |
Spencer and Hanley (2003) showed that Welsh-speaking children aged between 5 and 7 years who were learning to read Welsh (a transparent orthography) performed significantly better at reading both real words and nonwords than did English-speaking children living in Wales who were learning to read English (a deep orthogr... |
Background No study has combined tumour and clinical covariates for survival to construct an individual risk-profile for overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), and survival after progression (SAP) in patients with HPV+ and HPV– oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Based on the largest-to-date, unse... |
The timing predictability of hard real-time systems can only be assured if every component behaves deterministically. Various system design issues are stressed, from system and processor architecture to language and exception handling. In the field of architecture, some design recommendations are given and a timing pre... |
Field theoretical approaches to nuclear dynamics are most promising for understanding the interplay of strong interactions and nuclear many-body dynamics. Such a program, allowing to calculate in-medium interactions ab initio from the free space baryon-baryon (BB) interactions is the aim of the Density Dependent Relati... |
This study is focused on the static and fatigue strength of interference-fitted connections supplemented with anaerobic adhesive (hybrid joints). Through axial release tests, it is demonstrated that the addition of the adhesive always improves the performance of the joint. The main achievable benefits can be summarized... |
Persistence studies of bifenthrin 10% EC and lambda cyhalothrin 5% EC in / on green chilli was undertaken by following two foliar applications at recommended dose (50 g a.i./ha; 15 g a.i./ha) at fruiting stage of the crop. The residues of bifenthrin and lambda cyhalothrin dissipated to below limit of quantification (LO... |
We present a novel feedback technique for tooth brushing. Brushing sounds were manipulated and were found to alter the user's impression. In our experiment, brushing sounds recorded by a microphone in the toothbrush are manipulated and presented to the users in real-time. We demonstrate that frequency manipulation affe... |
In recent years there has been an exponential growth in developing machine learning algorithms, focused on applications ranging from scene understanding, to the more standard object recognition and classification tasks. Although multiple approaches have been proposed for solving these issues, a common prerequisite is t... |
OBJECTIVE |
To investigate the expression of IFN-λ1 in respiratory epithelial cells of children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and its relationship with RSV load. |
METHODS |
The nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from the children who were hospitalized with respiratory tract infection from June 2015 to June 2016. A direct immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the antigens of seven common respiratory viruses (including RSV) in the nasopharyngeal swabs. A total of 120 children who wer... |
RESULTS |
The expression of IFN-λ1 in the RSV infection group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (P<0.05). The expression of IFN-λ1 was positively correlated with RSV load (r=0.56, P<0.05). |
