Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the third cause of death in industrialized countries, following cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is therefore a significant public health issue, not only due to its high incidence, but also to the high costs involved in the physical and psychological rehabilitation of these patients. Dental Practitioners, as health care providers, ought to play their part ...

In year 2001 a paper in the ANAS considered links between month of birth and longevity. In the following years we published four papers related to “big killers” (cardiac and oncology) that showed some differences in birth months distribution of this group and studied by LA, NS Gavrilov’s centenarians. The aim of this study was to study conception and birth months of another modern “big killer”—...

IN SEVERAL PREVIOUS REPORTS1-3 we have reviewed the evidence purporting to show that arteriosclerosis appears earlier and more frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus than in the general population, and have indicated the areas of doubt with respect to this contention. As Baker et al.4 have recently pointed out, this increase in frequency and intensity of arteriosclerosis in diabetes has ...

In this work we present a general representation formula for the price of vulnerable European option, and related CVA in stochastic (either rough or not) volatility models underlying’s price, when admitting correlation with default event. We specialize it some provide approximations, based on formula. study numerically their accuracy, comparing results Monte Carlo simulations, run theoretical e...

BACKGROUND In many insect species, cuticular hydrocarbons serve as pheromones that can mediate complex social behaviors. In Drosophila melanogaster, several hydrocarbons including the male sex pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) and female-specific 7,11-dienes influence courtship behavior and can function as cues for short-term memory associated with the mating experience. Behavioral and ph...

Objetives: Hemiplegic patients are considered to be a population at risk of suffering osteoporotic fractures. The aim of this work is to understand the absolute risk of fragility fracture in patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and the osteometabolic state of patients with ictus in the acute phase, as well as confirming if there are baseline differences compared to a control group witho...

BACKGROUND Substantial uncertainty surrounds the specificity of the Direct Agglutination Test (DAT) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in clinical suspects, since no good gold standard exists for unequivocally identifying diseased subjects. We explored the Latent Class Analysis (LCA) modelling technique to circumvent this problem. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data on 149 clinical suspects recruited in 1...

Ž . Principal component analysis PCA is a well-known data dimensionality technique that has been used to detect faults Ž . during the operation of industrial processes. Dynamic principal component analysis DPCA and canonical variate analysis Ž . CVA are data dimensionality techniques which take into account serial correlations, but their effectiveness in detecting faults in industrial processes...
