background it seems that depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (dmpa) use can have an effect on a woman’s oral health, and cause periodontal changes in adult women. however, there is little research in this regard and consensus has not been reached in the literature. objectives this study aimed to investigate the association between dmpa injection and periodontal health in reproductive age women. m...

A multiobjective programming for transportation model with the consideration of both depot to customer and customer to customer relationships is proposed in this research. The objectives are to minimize the total transportation cost which is the baseline objective and to minimize the overall independence value. A Lexicographic Goal Programming (LGP) is applied to the proposed model. A minimizat...

BACKGROUND Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate contraception is widely used in Navajo women, a high-risk population for diabetes mellitus. However, depot medroxyprogesterone may lead to weight gain and independently decrease insulin sensitivity. We studied the association between depot medroxyprogesterone and development of diabetes in Navajo women. METHODS We studied Navajo women aged 18 to 50...

The properties of the depot fats of animals depend, to some extent, upon the nature of the dietary fats. Thus it was shown by Anderson and Mendel (1) that feeding of highly unsaturated oils results in the deposition of a body fat of high iodine number, whereas the administration of “hard” fat in the diet leads to a decrease in the iodine number of the depot fats. Recently Longenecker and Hildit...

A 50-year-old male patient with comorbid human immunodeficiency virus developed a relapse of bipolar disorder after a switch from oral aripiprazole 10 mg/day to intramuscular aripiprazole depot 200 mg every 28 days plus oral aripiprazole 5 mg/day.

This article addresses an extension of the multi-depot vehicle routing problem in which vehicles may be replenished at intermediate depots along their route. It proposes a heuristic combining the adaptative memory principle, a tabu search method for the solution of subproblems, and integer programming. Tests are conducted on randomly generated instances.

BACKGROUND Nonadherence with antipsychotic medication is an important clinical and economic problem in the treatment of schizophrenia. This study identified treatment patterns and clinical characteristics that immediately precede the initiation of depot typical antipsychotics in the usual treatment of schizophrenia patients with a recent history of nonadherence with oral antipsychotic regimens....
