BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomedical and psychosocial factors associated with disability at a minimum of six months following upper-extremity nerve injury. METHODS This cross-sectional study included patients who were assessed between six months and fifteen years following an upper-extremity nerve injury. Assessment measures included patient self-report question...

OBJECTIVE The role of following the recommendations of Canada's Food Guide (CFG) and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on body composition in children is unknown. The present study assessed how conformity to the recommendations of these diets was associated with BMI, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist girth (WG), hip girth (HG) and risk of overwe...

BACKGROUND Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive, fibroproliferative disorder that causes fixed finger contractures and can lead to disability. With the advances of new therapeutic interventions, the necessity to assess the functional repercussions of this condition using valid, reliable and sensitive outcome measures is of growing interest. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DA...

Among youth with diabetes mellitus, elevated blood pressure represents one of the most common comorbidities. Hence, exploring dietary factors that may help prevent or control hypertension in this population is of paramount importance. We investigated whether adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is associated with hypertension in youth with diabetes mellitus from ...

Vinylidene complexes [Ru(η(5)-C5H5){[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)R}(PPh3)L]BPh4 (, ) [L = P(OMe)3, P(OEt)3; R = Ph, p-tolyl, Bu(t), H] react with hydrazine R1NHNH2 (R1 = H, Me, Ph) to afford nitrile derivatives [Ru(η(5)-C5H5)(N[triple bond, length as m-dash]CCH2R)(PPh3)L]BPh4 (, ) and amine R1NH2. Hydroxylamine NH2OH also reacts with vinylidenes , to yield ...

Seventeen patients with 28 flexor tendon injuries were examined after tendon repair. The current most frequently used evaluation systems, including grip and pinch strength, were compared with functional outcome as assessed by a questionnaire, evaluating Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH). Good correlation was found between Total Active Motion (TAM) and the Original Strickland test (k...

We describe a software framework, called DASH, that enables the facile access, maintenance, curation and sharing of computational biology data among collaborating research scientists. The DASH event-based framework enables members of team-based research projects to describe the multistep computational processing pipelines frequently required to generate data for sharing, monitors multiple distr...

Hipertensi merupakan silent killer yang dipengaruhi oleh gaya hidup tidak sehat meliputikebiasaan makan-makanan berlemak jenuh dan tinggi natrium, hal ini dapat ditanganidengan pengaturan pola makan. Penatalaksanaan diet direkomendasikan bagipenderita hipertensi dengan Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH). Penerapandiet DASH menurunkan tekanan darah, peningkatan konsumsi sayuran buahb...

M a i n r e s u l t s Analysis was by intention to treat. SBP was lower in patients assigned to the DASH diet than in those assigned to the control diet (P < 0.001) or those assigned to the fruitsand-vegetables diet (P < 0.01) (Table). In the DASH diet group, more patients reduced their SBP to < 140 mm Hg than did those in the control group (Table). The difference in SBP reduction was of border...

Reactions of the vinylidene complexes [M([double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)(PP)Cp']PF6 with NH3 readily afford the acyclic amino carbene complexes [M{C(Me)NH2}(PP)Cp']PF6 [M(PP)Cp' = Fe(dppe)Cp, Ru(dppe)Cp, Ru(PPh3)2Cp, Ru(dppe)Cp*]. Crystallographic, spectroscopic and computational data support a description of these complexes in terms of a M-{C(Me)[double bond...
