The wide variation in dialysis utilization contributes to a lack of consensus on what parameters should guide the decision to start dialysis. While the association of early initiation of dialysis with survival benefit was first demonstrated ...

Our aim is not to have the humanoid robots just replicate the human’s behaviours (e.g. waving, peek-a-boo, or drumming), but to engage in interactions in a socially appropriate manner. ...

It's all in the timing: coital frequency and fertility awareness-based methods of family planning.

Fertility awareness-based methods of family planning help women to identify the days of the cycle they should avoid unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Therefore using fertility awareness-based methods influences the timing of sexual activity, which may affect the nature of the sexual relationship. Data are used from the clinical trials of two fertility awareness-based methods--the St...
