HTTP-based video streaming has become popular in recent years, with Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) emerging as an ISO/IEC standard for live and on-demand video streaming services. Netflix and YouTube employ DASH-like streaming strategies and account for more than 50% of North American traffic in 2015, representing a significant source of Internet traffic. Consumer video streams are...

The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) scores appear most frequently in the literature when assessing functional outcome after distal radius fracture. We aimed to evaluate if the two questionnaires correlate. We reviewed 258 cases of adults who sustained a distal radius fracture over a one year period. At mean follow-up of 17 months the...

The chelate complex [Pd(κ(2)-C,O-C6H4CH2O-2)(bpy)] () reacts with acetonitrile, cyanamides, or carbodiimides, in the presence of AgOTf (1 : 5 : 1 molar ratio) and residual water, to form complexes [Pd{κ(2)-C,N-C6H4{CH2OC([double bond, length as m-dash]NX)Y}-2}(bpy)](OTf), where X = H, Y = Me (), NMe2 (), NEt2 (), X = R, Y = NHR (R = (i)Pr (), Tol ()), as a result of the insertion of the unsatur...

Although gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity, there is no consensus as to the optimal approach of nutritional management in these patients. The present study was designed to assess the effect of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan on glucose tolerance and lipid profiles of pregnant women with GDM....

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products and has reduced amounts of saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol. This diet considerably reduces blood pressure in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Because hypertension is the major risk factor for stroke, the DASH diet may lower stroke risk. Few studies have examined ...

BACKGROUND Poverty is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States and worldwide. Poor dietary habits may contribute to this disparity. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 2,058 community-dwelling adults aged 30 to 64 years residing in Baltimore City, Maryland. PREDICTORS Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DAS...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to compare glenopolar angle (GPA) and the functional outcomes of fixation of both the clavicle and the scapular neck, fixation of the clavicle alone, and conservative treatment for floating-shoulder injuries. METHODS A prospective stratified randomized study was performed in 39 adult patients who suffered floating-shoulder injuries and underwent fixation...

Little is known about long-term associations between the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and conventional cardiovascular (CV)-risk factors as well as novel measures of vascular function. This study aimed to examine whether long-term adherence to a DASH-type diet in a British birth cohort is associated with conventional CV-risk factors and two vascular function markers, carot...
