For example, several studies have confirmed that children realize greater benefit from a more audible speech signal (Stelmachowicz, Hoover, Lewis, Kortekaas and Pittman 2000; Stelmachowicz, Pittman, Hoover, Lewis and Moeller 2004), a higher signal-to-noise ratio (Hall and ...
متن کاملChanges in platelet count in uncomplicated and severe falciparum malaria.
This study investigated alterations in platelet counts pre- and post-treatment with artemisinin derivatives in uncomplicated and severe falciparum malaria. Serial platelet counts were taken over 4 weeks for 110 uncomplicated and 110 severe falciparum malaria patients admitted to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases during 2005-2008. On admission, prior to treatment, thrombocytopenia was found in ...
