Utility of Scottish morbidity and mortality data for epidemiological studies of motor neuron disease.
OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy of (1) hospital discharge data and (2) death certificates, coded as motor neuron disease (MND). DESIGN Comparison of data from The Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register (SMNDR) with routinely collected Scottish Hospital In-Patient Statistics (SHIPS) and death certificate coding. SETTING Scotland UK. PATIENTS 1) 379 adults (> 15 years) discharged for t...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
Avoiding false positive diagnoses of motor neuron disease: lessons from the Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register.
OBJECTIVES To describe the frequency and characteristics of those patients initially registered with the Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register (SMNDR) but who subsequently had a diagnosis other than MND made (false positives), to analyse the features which led to a revised diagnosis, and to draw conclusions which might improve routine neurological practice. METHODS The Scottish Motor Neuron ...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Risk factors for motor neuron disease: a case-control study based on patients from the Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register.
In order to identify risk factors for the subsequent development of motor neuron disease (MND) we have carried out a case-control study of incident patients in Scotland, identified using the Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register. A standard questionnaire was given to 103 patients and the same number of community controls matched on a one to one basis using the general practitioner's (GP) age a...
