Between 1970 and 1980, the percentage of hospitals with one or more collective bargaining contracts increased from 15.7 percent to 27.4 percent. A substantial amount of variation exists in the extent of unionism on the basis of hospital ownership, bed size, and location. Employees are more likely to organize when hospitals in the State are regulated by a mandatory rate-setting program. Unions r...

BACKGROUND Any patient above the age of 40 years, coming with the symptoms of diabetes is labelled as type 2 diabetic. If insulin levels are included in the protocol for initial investigations of diabetic patients, they can be differentiated as having insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. They can thus be treated accordingly. This study was conducted to see the prevalence of insulin resista...

<p>This study utilized a series of experimental tests, including the Atterberg limit, standard Proctor, permeability, and direct shear tests. Three composites were investigated: 85% fly ash-10% bentonite (V1), 90% ash-5% (V2), 95% ash-0% (V3). All contained 5% coconut fiber. The plasticity index (PI) increased significantly from 19.10% to 22.15%, with change in content 0% 10%. composite m...

Background: For patients with an increased risk of developing myopathy with statin treatment, guidelines recommend to measure CK before and 6-12 weeks after initiating statin treatment. Further, in clinical trials of statins, the number of patients experiencing elevated creatine kinase (CK) serum activity is commonly reported as a safety parameter. Usually exceeding the upper limit of normal (U...

introduction: barrel cortex of rats is a part of somatosensory cortex, which receives information from facial whiskers. vibrisectomy by sensory deprivation leads to some changes in the barrel cortex, which have been known as experience dependent plasticity. on the other hand, norepinephrine (ne) and locus coeruleus, which is the main source of ne, influenced response properties of cortical barr...

in this work, a new spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of cobalt (іі) ionwas investigated and the stability constant of the related complex was evaluated 2.174 × 104. in the cobalt(іі)-piroxicam complex, the maximum absorbance wavelength is 570 nm and the linearity of calibrationcurve was investigated (5-10 ppm). the relative standard deviation for seven replicate e...
