A cross-sectional study was conducted on the prevalence of hot flashes and associated factors among women from 40 to 69 years old, from a population-based sample in the city of Pelotas, southern Brazil. A multi-stage sampling process was used, and data were collected through an interview and a self-applied questionnaire. A total of 879 women were included. Point prevalence and lifetime prevalen...

For it, horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fillets were soaked in water (Water Control) and two RP concentrations (0.333%, RP-1; 1.333%, RP-2) and compared to untreated fillets (Blank Control). Fluorescence detection and thiobarbitu...

1. Intracellular in vitro recordings were made from 771 cells from the spiral modiolar artery (SMA). The initial resting potentials (RPs) displayed a bimodal distribution that was well modelled as a mixture of two Gaussian distributions. About half of the cells had an average RP of -74 mV, and were termed high-RP cells, whereas the other half had an average RP around -41 mV, and were termed low...

A recursively palindromic (RP) word is one that is a palindrome and whose left half-word and right half-word are each RP. Thus ABACABA is, and MADAM is not, an RP word. We count RP words of given length over a finite alphabet and RP compositions of an integer. We use the same method to determine the parity of the Catalan numbers.

Background: In 2011, I was diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis (“RP”), a debilitating and sometimes fatal rheumatic disease that is characterized by inflammation of cartilage other tissues. The affects multiple organs, particularly cartilaginous structures such as the ears, nose, airways, joints well eyes, skin, heart valves brain. cause RP remains unknown there currently no cure for diseas...

migration of compounds from packaging materials is one of the most important aspects of food safety. epoxy resins have been in inner coatings of food cans since the 1960s. these resins can be produced from bisphenol-a diglycidyl ether (badge) that is also utilized as a starter. migration of potentially toxic compounds in epoxy resins used for commercial cans is a very important food safety issu...

Introduction. Acapulcoites and lodranites constitute two related groups of " primitive achon-drites " [1-3] that possess recrystallized textures, chondritic mineralogy, planetary-type rare gases, and approximately chondritic bulk compositions. They are widely considered to have formed by partial melting of chondritic material [4-10]. Although Kallemeyn and Wasson [11] suggested that acapulcoite...

PURPOSE Active surveillance (AS) is a treatment option for men with very low-risk prostate cancer (PCa); however, favorable outcomes achieved for men in AS are based on cohorts that under-represent African American (AA) men. To explore whether race-based health disparities exist among men with very low-risk PCa, we evaluated oncologic outcomes of AA men with very low-risk PCa who were candidate...

Current work provides a prospective direct comparison between Open complete intrafascial-radical-prostatectomy (OIF-RP) and interfascial-RP in all outcomes in single centre series. Both techniques were done prospectively in 430 patients. Inclusion criteria for OIF-RP (n=241 patients) were biopsy Gleason-score ≤6 and PSA ≤10 ng/ml while for interfascial-RP (n=189) were Gleason-score ≤7 and PSA ≤...
