The Trend of Integrated Capitals Reporting: Asian Continental Perspective

Extreme mtDNA homogeneity in continental Asian populations.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in continental Asia has not been well-studied. Here, we report mtDNA HV1 sequences for 84 Xi'an and 82 Changsha Han Chinese, 89 Honshu Japanese, and 35 Vietnamese. Comparison of these sequences with other Asian mtDNA sequences reveals high variability within populations, but extremely low differentiation among Asian populations. Correlations between genetic d...

The coupling of Indian subduction and Asian continental tectonics

In order to understand the potential controls on Asian tectonics during the subduction of the Tethys and Indian lithospheres, we reconstruct the coupled subduction-continent deformation history using tomographic imaging, kinematics constraints and numerical modeling. The global P-waves tomographic images of the mantle below the India-Asia collision zone provide constraints on the deep structure...

The Indo-Asian continental collision: A 3-D viscous model

Completeness of tuberculosis reporting forms in five Brazilian capitals with a high incidence of the disease *

The aim of this study was to evaluate the completeness of tuberculosis reporting forms in the greater metropolitan areas of five Brazilian capitals where the incidence of tuberculosis was high in 2010 - Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, Cuiabá, Porto Alegre, and Belém - using tabulations obtained from the Sistema Nacional de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (National Case Registry Database). The de...

Assessment of barriers to reporting the acute complications of blood transfusion from the perspective of nursing staff

Abstract Background and Objectives Blood transfusion in critical  patients is a lifesaver and at the same time can be fatal due to possible complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate the barriers to reporting the complications of blood transfusion nad the awareness of these complications in nursing staff.   Materials and Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was perfor...
