This poster reports on the developmental phase of a new internet-based support services (ICSS) for Chinese caregivers of people with Alzheimer Disease (AD): a specialized email application and an informational website. Bilingual Chinese caregivers wanted internet-based information in both Chinese and English. Usability testing and heuristic evaluation results revealed that the interface success...

This study investigated the role of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors in the deficits in brain reward function, as measured by elevations in intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) reward thresholds, associated with nicotine withdrawal. The group II metabotropic glutamate (mGluII) receptor agonist LY314582 [a racemic mixture of LY354740 ([ ]-2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane2,6-dicarboxyli...

STUDY POPULATION. Patients (N 1071) were aged 12 to 75 years with moderate-to-severe persistent allergic asthma that was inadequately controlled with ICSs. Eight percent of the patients were aged 12 to 18 years. All patients had confirmed allergic asthma, an immunoglobulin E (IgE) level between 30 and 700 IU/mL, and a baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) between 40% and 80%. Dat...

Ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) in 5G networks is designed to support time-critical applications such as industrial control systems (ICSs), where user equipment (UEs) communicate with a base station (BS) very high reliability and low latency. Most of these communications ICSs are periodic associated hard deadlines. To provide reliable service while satisfying the deadlines, BS ...

OBJECTIVE To describe and characterize local adverse effects (in the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx) associated with the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) in patients with moderate or severe asthma. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study involving a convenience sample of 200 asthma patients followed in the Department of Pharmaceutical Care of the Bahia State Asthma and Allergic Rhinit...

The D(+) +H2(v = 0, j = 0, 1) → HD+H(+) reaction has been investigated at the low energy regime by means of a statistical quantum mechanical (SQM) method. Reaction probabilities and integral cross sections (ICSs) between a collisional energy of 10(-4) eV and 0.1 eV have been calculated and compared with previously reported results of a time independent quantum mechanical (TIQM) approach. The TI...
