Objective. Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a predominantly adult disorder, with bacterial infection of the soft tissue. In children, it is relatively rare and has a fulminant course with a high mortality rate. In the neonate, most cases of NF are attributable to secondary infection of omphalitis, balanitis, mammitis, postoperative complications, and fetal monitoring. The objective of this communi...

Background Infant mortality rate is widely used to assessing the health status of population in both developing and developed countries. The aim of this study was to identify the main factors affect infant mortality rate in ECO countries for the years 2005 to 2012. Methods A panel data model from ECO countries from 2005 to 2012 used to identify the some of key explanatory variables (GDP per cap...

BACKGROUND Neonatal mortality accounts for an estimated 2.8 million deaths worldwide, which constitutes 44 % of under-5-mortality and 60 % of infant mortality. Neonatal mortality predictors vary by country with the availability and quality of health care. Therefore, aim of this study was to estimate survival time and identify predictors of neonatal mortality in Tigray region, northern Ethiopia....

the life history of enochrus quadripunctatus herbst was studied in the laboratory. the duration of each developmental stage, larval behavior, and preimaginal mortality rate were determined. it takes the insect a total of 43 days from hatching to reach the adult stage, with a high mortality rate in the first stadium. the mortality rate decreases as the beetle passes through the immature stages. ...

A number of epidemiologic studies have reported a positive relationship between heart rate, cardiovascular disease and mortality. To examine the correlation between heart rate and mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 2147 patients hospitalized in coronary care units in Isfahan were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Their heart rate was measured according to an electroca...

background and aims: stomach cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second cause of deaths among cancers worldwide cancer in the world. this study aimed to estimate the rate and trend of death from stomach cancer in iranian population between 2006 and 2010. methods: this study was a cross-sectional conducted using mortality data in iranian population between 2006 and 2010. the number ...

Late-onset sepsis (LOS) (i.e., sepsis in a neonate after 72 hours of life) is associated with high mortality and significantly prolonged antibiotic exposure and hospital stay in neonates admitted to intensive care units (ICU). In this study, we assessed the reliability of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) as a determinant of antimicrobial treatment duration of LOS. From January 1996 to December 20...

Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella, is a cosmopolitan pest of stored products, and its eggs are widely used to rear parasitoids and predators for biological control programmes. This experiment investigated how larval population density affected the survival rate and reproductive output of this species under four rearing densities ( larva per 2 g food per vial; or 00, 500 or 000 larva...
