OBJECTIVE to examine parents' use of child restraint systems (CRS), and determine if parents' knowledge of, attitude toward, and use behavior of child restraint systems have improved following enactment of child restraint use laws in other cities. DESIGN Observations and a cross-sectional survey of drivers transporting children 17 years and under were conducted at the gate of the schools and ...

BACKGROUND Rubella, though a mild, vaccine-preventable disease, can manifest with severe teratogenic effects in the fetus labeled as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) due to primary maternal rubella infection. Despite a reduction in disease burden of several vaccine-preventable diseases through childhood immunization, CRS continues to account for preventable severe morbidity including childhood...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent chronic condition, which has origins in complex interactions between genetic, immunological and microbial factors. The role of auto-immunity in CRS remains unclear, although recent studies have started to emerge in CRS patient refractory to maximal medical management. We discuss the possible auto-immunity link between CRS and other skin diseases, in pa...

Background Clinical and epidemiological data have identified a cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), in which heart and/or kidney failure accelerates dysfunction in the other organ. New therapeutics are needed to target the mechanisms that cause CRS and treat the whole patient. The aims of this study were to 1) assess in vivo cardiorenal metabolism using hyperpolarized C MR spectroscopy (MRS) in experime...

BACKGROUND During clinical practice, we noticed that some patients with both ulcerative colitis (UC) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) showed amelioration of UC after treatment of CRS. This study was designed to identify a possible association between CRS and UC. METHODS Thirty-two patients with both CRS and UC received treatment with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for CRS. Clinica...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to explore the prevalence of a broad spectrum of comorbid medical conditions among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), using a population-based dataset. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS In total, 5,734 CRS subjects and 17,202 comparison subjects were included in this study. Separate conditional logistic regression analyses were per...

Based on relative research literature reviews about the development and functions of foreign hotel CRS, combining with the basic situation of China hotel industry and according to the clients’ functional requirements to CRS, the functional factor model of CRS in the application of China hotel group is explored in the article. The research methods mainly include literature review, interviews, qu...

Abstract Conditional Random Sampling (CRS) was originally proposed for efficiently computing pairwise (l2, l1) distances, in static, large-scale, and sparse data. This study modifies the original CRS and extends CRS to handle dynamic or streaming data, which much better reflect the real-world situation than assuming static data. Compared with many other sketching algorithms for dimension reduct...
