Background The High Risk Foot Clinic at Liverpool Hospital has employed a standardised system for monitoring the progress of ulcers of the feet since January 2010. A form is completed for each patient with fields for identification, clinical photograph, and clinical details. The forms are reviewed for all patients under current treatment at a weekly meeting. We reviewed the foot ulcer progress ...

This paper reviews recent investigations into parental involvement. It explores factors that should be considered for measurement, including the measurement of father involvement. It is found that current directions of research on parenting focus on parental identity, division of labour and parenting styles. These directions in research are reviewed. Introduction Parental involvement is importa...

Interim progress in an integrated family planning and community health program instituted in 2 villages in Tanzania, compared to a control village, is presented. The target villages, in Masama and Arusha China, consisting of 10,000 and 8000 people, and the control village of Kisiki with 10,500 were all near Moshi town. The control village was provided with contraceptives, but given no integra...

A study was carried out to explore requirements for the inhibition of tissue factor-factor VIIa enzymatic activity in plasma. Reaction mixtures contained plasma, 3H-factor IX or 3H-factor X, tissue factor (vol/vol 2.4% to 24%), and calcium. Tissue factor-factor VIIa activity was evaluated from progress curves of activation of factor IX or factor X, plotted from tritiated activation peptide rele...

Transition metal (TM) single atomic catalysts (MSAC-N-C) derived from doped zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) are considered attractive oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for fuel cells and metal-air batteries due to their advantages of high specific surface area, more active catalytic sites, adjustable pore size, coordination topology features. This review provides an updated overview the la...

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) involving electrocatalytic process is established as a promising and non-pollution method for hydrogen production. The cheap alternatives of precious-metal electrocatalysts with high activity robust stability essential the high-scale application evolution. Recently, carbon-based derived from biomass have attracted more attentions thanks to their characteristics...

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important half-reaction for various energy devices, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. sluggish kinetics of the four-electron ORR needs development electrocatalysts with high efficiency activity to replace precious metal platinum. Alternatively, metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts, particularly Fe-N-C, are considered most promising candidates becau...
