UNLABELLED Symptoms of mercury toxicity, biochemical changes, and blood/urine mercury levels were evaluated in a small group of patients. Six patients attending Delek Hospital, Dharamsala, India, taking mercury-containing traditional Tibetan medicine (TTM) (Group I), were compared with three patients taking non-mercury containing TTM (Group II) and healthy volunteers(Group II). Quantitative est...

The purpose of this study was to summarize findings from empirical applications of the transtheoretical model (TTM) (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983) in the physical activity domain by using the quantitative method of meta-analysis. Ninety-one independent samples from 71 published reports were located that present empirical data on at least one core construct of the TTM applied to exercise and phy...

This paper reevaluates the multicast protocols for MANETs in terms of energy efficiency and proposes a new robust multicast protocol, called Two-Tree Multicast (TTM). Multicast protocols can be broadly categorized into two types, tree-based multicast and mesh-based multicast, based on the network structure along which multicast packets are delivered to multiple receivers. Mesh-based protocols a...

BACKGROUND One of the preventive strategies for chronic low back pain among operating room nurses is instructing proper body mechanics and postural behavior, for which the use of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) has been recommended. METHODS Eighty two nurses who were in the contemplation and preparation stages for adopting correct body posture were randomly selected (control group = 40, inte...

This study aimed to improve understanding of prostate and breast cancer survivors' physical activity and nutrition and the association of these behaviours with two models. The first model, the Commonsense Self-Regulation Model (CSM), addresses cognitive and emotional perceptions of illness whereas the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) focuses on stage of readiness to engage in a behaviour. Participa...

The purpose of the paper is to present connetion between Total Traceability Management (TTM) software and technical solutions for predictive maintenance. As a key function TTM, maintenance module based on conditioning monitoring systems. Sensors measurement temperature, color, vibration, force, chemical composition, ultrasound waves, light, dimensional, are developing global market as part 4th ...

The delivery of targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended for cardiac arrest patients with specific initial rhythms after the return of spontaneous circulation. Some hospitals have established institutional TTM protocols based on national guidelines. Yet, successful implementation of an institutional TTM protocol depends on the nurses’ knowledge and skills. The study’s purpose was to...

Objective Targeted temperature management (TTM) is the core post-resuscitation treatment to minimize neurologic deficit after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Abnormal initial body (BT) can be associated with damage during arrest. We aimed investigate association between BT and outcomes of OHCA patients who underwent TTM. Methods This study used a nationwide database from January 2013 Dec...

Introduction Trichobezoar is a rare entity that primarily occurs as complication of psychiatric disorders, most often in adolescent and young females suffering from trichotillomania (TTM) trichophagia. In many cases, children with TTM unwillingly admit hair pulling, deny ingesting feel ashamed their disease try to hide it. Objectives Our main aim was present an uncommon trichophagia point out t...

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) is a rare phenomenon. We present a case of an invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast metastasizing to a clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Breast cancer (BC) metastasis to the RCC is rarely reported, especially in resected kidney tumor. In several cases reported, IDC was the exclusively histologic type of BC metastasized to RCC. It seems that the diffe...
