OBJECTIVE To describe the models of practice used by nurse practitioners (NPs) and FPs in community health centres (CHCs), and to examine the roles of NPs and FPs in these models. DESIGN Cross-sectional study using an organizational survey completed by managers of the CHC sites, as well as administrative data on patient sociodemographic characteristics and encounter activities. SETTING A to...

The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is essential for learning in a pavlovian fear conditioning paradigm known as fear-potentiated startle (FPS). Mice lacking the ability to synthesize DA fail to learn the association between the conditioned stimulus and the fear-inducing footshock. Previously, we demonstrated that restoration of DA synthesis to neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) was suf...

A Louisiana sugarcane field is typically replanted every four years due to declining yields, and, although, it is a costly process, it is both necessary and an opportunity to maximize the financial return during the next four year cropping cycle. Fallow planting systems (FPS) during the fallow period prior to replanting sugarcane have the potential to influence not only the following sugarcane ...

BACKGROUND In 1998 the Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) began developing patient information letters (PILs), based on the practice guidelines for family physicians (FPs) (NHG standards). Five nutritional guidance letters have since been developed with the Dutch Nutrition Center. METHODS In August-September 2001 a survey was done among a random sample of 200 FPs who subscribe to th...

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have great utility in identifying specific cell populations and in studying cellular dynamics in the mouse. To quantify the factors that determine both the expression and relative brightness of FPs in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and in mice, we generated eight different FP-expressing ROSA26 alleles using recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE). These alle...

This paper proposes a new extended Process to Product Modeling (xPPM) method for integrated and seamless information delivery manual (IDM) and model view definition (MVD) development. Current IDM development typically uses Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) to represent a process map (PM). Exchange requirements (ERs) and functional parts (FPs) specify the information required when inform...

OBJECTIVE To examine the health care-related experiences of individuals who have lost their FPs. DESIGN A qualitative design using phenomenology. SETTING Southwestern Ontario. PARTICIPANTS Eighteen participants (9 women and 9 men, with a mean age of 48.9 years) from urban or rural areas who had lost their FPs. METHODS Semistructured interviews were conducted, which were audiotaped and t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)is a major burden on health systemwith significant mortality and morbidity. Family Physicians(FPs)can play important role. To determine management strategies and prescription of FPs regarding CAP. METHODS A multicenter cross sectional survey was done in 10 cities of Pakistan from November 2014 to January 2015. Self-administered questi...
