BACKGROUND Migrant health is receiving increasing international attention, reflecting recognition of the health inequities experienced among many migrant populations and the need for health systems to adapt to diverse migrant populations. In the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) there is increasing migration associated with uneven economic integration and growth, socio-economic vulnerabilities, an...

We have investigated the leukocyte-repopulating-predictive value of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) analyses in ex vivo-expanded versus fresh murine bone marrow (BM) grafts. After the transplantation of graded numbers of normal BM cells (from 15 to 5 x 10(3) CFU-GMs/mice), a dose-dependent increase in the recipient leukocytes was observed between the first and third weeks po...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdTwo cohorts of patients with T2DM were investigated. The Gargano Mortality Study (GMS, n = 679 patients) was the training set and the Foggia Mortality Study (FMS, n = 936 patients) represented the validation sample. GMS and FMS cohorts were prospectively followed-up for 7.406 2.15 and 4.516 1.69 years, respectively, and all-cause mortality was registered. A new forwa...

Since the establishment of super-regional and mega malls in Malaysia, little is known about green consumers’ purchase intentionand behaviour malls’ general merchandise stores (GMS). This study first examines profile purchaseintention behavior on products GMS. Second, social classes were segmented to exploresocial class differences intention stores. The purposive sampling was used collect datafr...

Ever since its launch in 2003, GMS German Medical Science benefits from the expertise of numerous reviewers. Their work is of highest value for the quality of the journal; they contribute anonymously, without remuneration and mostly in their spare time to a scientific open access journal. We would like to appreciate their efforts at least ideally at the beginning of the New Year. The editors, a...

We report a case of Cushing syndrome secondary to adrenal adenoma and the fetus showing nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test some days with general movements (GMs) negative. The tumor was confirmed at 31+5 weeks of pregnancy and removed surgically one month after the birth. The fetus showed nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test for nearly a week and was born...

We present a simple quality assessment index for stereoscopic images based on 3D gradient magnitude. To be more specific, we construct 3D volume from the stereoscopic images across different disparity spaces and calculate pointwise 3D gradient magnitude similarity (3D-GMS) along three horizontal, vertical, and viewpoint directions. Then, the quality score is obtained by averaging the 3D-GMS sco...

We examined four staining methods on replicate smears of 313 respiratory specimens submitted for Pneumocystis jiroveci examination. The sensitivity and specificity of Calcofluor white stain (CW) were 73.8 and 99.6%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of Grocott-Gomori methenamine silver stain (GMS) were 79.4 and 99.2%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of Diff-Quik stain ...

In this paper we map the D-brane projector states in the vacuum string field theory to the noncommutative GMS solitons based on the recently proposed map of Witten’s star to Moyal’s star. After properly regularizing the mid-point singularity of the sliver states in the Moyal basis, we reproduce the singular geometry conditions of Moore and Taylor in our framework. The properties of the candidat...
