OBJECTIVE Healthcare providers and other employees, especially those who do not work in a hospital, may not easily find help after the occurrence of a blood exposure accident. In 2006, a national call center was established in The Netherlands to fill this gap. METHODS All occupational blood exposure accidents reported to the 24-hours-per-day, 7-days-per-week call center from 2007, 2008, and 2...

estimation of agricultural sector demand and supply and identification of its determinants could lead to more efficient policies and planning of this section. in this study, aggregate demand and supply of agriculture sector for years of 1959-2007 by using of nonlinear restricted armax model are estimated. result indicates that aggregate agriculture demand is inelastic in short and long run. tho...

results there was a significant difference in follow-up rates at the due date between the intervention group (50.7%, 34of 67 participants) and the control group (17.5%, 11 of 63 participants) (or = 4.871, 95% ci = 2.172 to 10.924, p < 0.0001). in the control group, the call interviews significantly increased the follow-up rate from 17.5% to 66.7 % (42 of 63 participants) (p < 0.0001), although ...

XRN1 encodes an abundant cytoplasmic exoribonuclease, Xrn1p, responsible for mRNA turnover in yeast. A screen for bypass suppressors of the inviability of xrn1 ski2 double mutants identified dominant alleles of RAT1, encoding an exoribonuclease homologous with Xrn1p. These RAT1 alleles restored XRN1-like functions, including cytoplasmic RNA turnover, wild-type sensitivity to the microtubule-des...
