ABSTRACT Whilst survival rates for childhood cancers are excellent, it is known that these patients have an increased risk of death from disease recurrence and other causes. We investigate patterns, trends and survival of cancers in children and young adults in N. Ireland. MATERIALS AND METHODS 21 years (1993-2013) of cancer incidence data including non-malignant brain tumours from the N. Ire...

OBJECTIVE The risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) among infants who co-sleep in the absence of hazardous circumstances is unclear and needs to be quantified. DESIGN Combined individual-analysis of two population-based case-control studies of SIDS infants and controls comparable for age and time of last sleep. SETTING Parents of 400 SIDS infants and 1386 controls provided information...

OBJECTIVES To assess socioeconomic inequalities in traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in adolescents in New Delhi and examine the role of material, psychosocial and behavioural factors in explaining these inequalities. METHODS We conducted a cross sectional study of 1386 adolescents aged between 12-15 years residing in three diverse areas of New Delhi. A non-invasive clinical examination was us...

We fully describe the doubly stochastic orbit of a self-adjoint element in noncommutative $$L_1$$ -space affiliated with semifinite von Neumann algebra, which answers problem posed by Alberti and Uhlmann (Stochasticity partial order: maps unitary mixing. VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, Berlin, 1982) 1980s, extending several results literature. It follows further from our methods that, ...

The glucuronidation kinetics of the prototypic substrates 4-methylumbelliferone (4MU) and 1-naphthol (1NP) by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) 1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A7, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, 2B7, 2B15, and 2B17 were investigated. Where activity was demonstrated, inhibitory effects of diclofenac, probenecid, and the solvents acetone, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, and methanol were ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. dea-based malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. we propose a dynamic dea model involving network structure in each period within the framework a dea. we have previously published the network dea (ndea) and the dynamic dea ...

A brief summary of the basic ideas of Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD), its recent state, its applications, and its theoretical challenges is given with a special emphasis on the most recent developments. Parton level formulation of quantum TGD as an almost topological quantum field theory using light-like 3-surfaces as fundamental objects allows a detailed understanding of generalized super-...
