carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

Macrophage activation syndrome is a form of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in the setting autoimmune diseases. It’s rare, hyperinflammatory complication requiring prompt institution therapy to prevent organ dysfunction and death. We report young female presenting with macrophage multiorgan failure diffuse alveolar hemorrhage inaugural systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient was ...

gasification is a well-known reaction owing to its relevance to generation of sustainable energyfrom biomass and development of porous carbons. the present paper attempts to experimentally investigate the kinetics of palm shell char gasification using carbon dioxide (co2) in a controlled environment using thermo gravimetric analyzer (tga) at temperatures ranging from 800 to1000°c. a relevant ki...

BACKGROUND To allow better assessment of patients' individual competencies for self-management, the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) has been developed in the USA. Because the American studies have shown the PAM to be a valuable tool, several European countries have translated the instrument into their native languages (Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian). The aim was to compare the psychometric ...

Abstract Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing. However, there is evidence indicate people with health conditions are significantly less active than the general population. The aim of research evaluate effectiveness Active Living Becomes Achievable (ALBA), a behaviour change intervention designed specifically target individuals increase motivat...

Discussions of patient-centred care and patient autonomy in bioethics have tended to focus on the decision-making context and the process of obtaining informed consent, leaving open the question of how patients ought to be counselled in the daily maintenance of their health and management of chronic disease. Patient activation is an increasingly prominent counselling approach and measurement to...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association of the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the modulating effect of patient activation on this association. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based prospective cohort study of people with Type 2 diabetes in Queensland, Australia, using data from self-report questionnaires, collected annually...

the article by brenna and spandonaro on interregional mobility for acute hospital care in italy raises important issues concerning social and territorial equity in a healthcare system. based on regions and private providers’ strategic behavior, the hypothesis adopted to explain patient cross-border mobility (cbm), demonstrated by statistical analysis, may be further explored using qualitative m...

background and objectives: patient safety culture is increasingly recognized as an essential driver of patient safety. to establish patient safety culture, firstly the current status of the construct should be assessed. valid assessment of patient safety culture is contingent on the availability of appropriate measurement tools. hospital survey on patient safety culture (hsops) developed by the...

Objective: We investigated changes in cortico–subcortical spatiotemporal dynamics to explore the treatment mechanisms of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were collected from 20 PD and normal controls (NC). Each patient received successive multidisciplinary inten...
