Avoiding fetal loss

Achieving weight loss and avoiding obesity.

The effect of the vast variety of nutrients on metabolic outcome and health is complex. A large number of factors play a role in the type and quantity of food consumed in free-living conditions. It is therefore obvious that prescribing a restrictive diet regimen that favours 1 or 2 nutrients at the expense of the others is a poor tool to manage long-term health and weight.

Efficient Algorithms for Checking Avoiding Sure Loss

Sets of desirable gambles provide a general representation of uncertainty which can handle partial information in a more robust way than precise probabilities. Here we study the effectiveness of linear programming algorithms for determining whether or not a given set of desirable gambles avoids sure loss (i.e. is consistent). We also suggest improvements to these algorithms specifically for che...

Whole mirror duplication-random loss model and pattern avoiding permutations

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: Algorithms Combinatorial problems Pattern avoiding permutation Whole duplication-random loss model Genome Generating algorithm Binary reflected Gray code In this paper we study the problem of the whole mirror duplication-random loss model in terms of pattern avoiding permutations. We prove that the class of permutations obtained with this model af...

Antiphospholipid antibodies among women experiencing fetal loss.

The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) is closely associated with thrombotic events and pregnancy complications such as recurrent pregnancy loss, preeclampsia and placental insufficiency. We investigated the presence of aPLs and its frequency among female patients with a history of fetal loss in a Malaysia population. Serum samples were collected from 108 patients who had (1) one or...
