At the Discharge Counter

Back-Anti counter at the E391a experiment

We have searched for a light pseudoscaler particle “X(214)” which is suggested by HyperCP experiment in the K0 L → π0π0X(X → μ+μ−) decay process using the E391a detector at KEK. In our analysis, signal event “X(214)” has not observed with the 3.58 × 109 K0 L decays, and we set an upper limit for the branching fraction of K0 L → π0π0X(X → μ+μ−) to be 1.6 × 10−6 at the 90% confidence level. Also ...

[Conciliation discrepancies at hospital discharge].

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and describe the non-justified discrepancies found on reconciling chronic medication prescribed to patients when discharged from hospital. Secondly, the impact of the reconciliation process is evaluated by assessing the seriousness of the discrepancies. DESIGN Cality study. SETTING Short Stay Medical Unit in Elda General Hospital, Alicante, Spain. PARTICIPANTS All pa...

Coarsening at random: characterizations, conjectures, counter-examples

The notion of coarsening at random (CAR) was introduced by Heitjan and Rubin (1991) to describe the most general form of randomly grouped, censored, or missing data, for which the coarsening mechanism can be ignored when making likelihood-based inference about the parameters of the distribution of the variable of interest. The CAR assumption is popular, and applications abound. However the full...

NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PRETERM INFANTS AT DISCHARGE: A STUDY AT TEHRAN VALIE-E-ASR HOSPITAL

 ABSTRACT Background: Nutrients meeting recommended dietary intakes take time to establish and once established are rarely maintained throughout hospital stay in preterm infants. Methods: Our purpose is to define the nutritional status and growth parameters of hospitalized patients at discharge in our hospital. Data were obtained concerning all 50 infants born weighing <1800 g and <34 weeks of ...
