We have evaluated the Technicon AutoAnalyzer method, the Beckman Creatinine Analyzer II, DuPont aca, Electro-Nucleonics GEMSAEC, and Instrumentation Laboratory Model 916 kinetic methods for determination of serum creatinine. These methods, which involve the Jaffé reaction, all showed a statistically significant proportional error relative to an ion-exchange pretreatment method for creatinine in...

A fly larva was recovered from a boil-like lesion on the left leg of a 33-year-old male on 21 November 2016. He has worked in an endemic area of myiasis, Uganda, for 8 months and returned to Korea on 11 November 2016. The larva was identified as Cordylobia anthropophaga by morphological features, including the body shape, size, anterior end, posterior spiracles, and pattern of spines on the bod...

We introduce a new model of traffic flow with phase transitions. The model is obtained by coupling together the classical Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) equation with the 2 × 2 system described in [A. Aw and M. Rascle, Resurrection of “second order” models of traffic flow, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 60 (2000), pp. 916–938]. We describe the solutions of the Riemann problem, and we compare the result...

This study uses a questionnaire to assess the costs and benefits of a course to teach the extended roles of cannulation, venepuncture and intravenous drug administration. The course had a positive influence on nurses' uptake of venepuncture and IV drug administration, but not cannulation. The cost of 916 pounds to successfully train a single nurse in all three practices leads to the suggestion ...

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact rural population aging on farmers’ cleaner production behavior through intervening effects three aspects (learning capacity, factor substitution and imitation). data used in were collected from a questionnaire survey 916 farmers main grain producing provinces North China Plain. First, confirmatory analysis was carried out, then analyzed struc...
