BACKGROUND Bodily distress syndrome (BDS) is a newly proposed diagnosis of medically unexplained symptoms, which is based on empirical research in primary care. AIM To estimate the frequency of BDS in primary care and describe the characteristics of patients with BDS. DESIGN AND SETTING A cross-sectional study of primary care patients in urban and rural areas of Central Denmark Region. ME...

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has been widely applied in areas including communication and transportation, emergency rescue, public security etc., making remarkable benefit in social and economic aspects. The integration of BDS and Inertial Navigation System (INS) has meant that it gives greater access to a more consistent and accurate positioning capability than ever before. However...

Binge drinking (BD), a harmful pattern of alcohol consumption, is common during adolescence. Young adults with alcohol use disorders exhibit hippocampal alterations and episodic memory deficits. However, it is not known how these difficulties progress in community BD adolescents. Our objective was to analyze the relationship between BD trajectory and verbal episodic memory during the developmen...

In this contribution, the processing strategies of real-time BeiDou System (BDS) precise orbits, clocks, and ionospheric corrections in the National BDS Augmentation Service System (NBASS) are briefly introduced. The Root Mean Square (RMS) of BDS predicted orbits are better than 10 cm in radial and cross-track components, and the accuracy of the BDS real-time clock is better than 0.5 ns for Inc...

Blood-depressing substance I (BDS-I), a 43 amino-acid peptide from sea anemone venom, is used as a specific inhibitor of Kv3-family potassium channels. We found that BDS-I acts with even higher potency to modulate specific types of voltage-dependent sodium channels. In rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, 3 μM BDS-I strongly enhanced tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive sodium current but weakly inh...

The Chinese BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) aims to provide global positioning service by 2020. The combined use of BDS and Global Positioning System (GPS) is proposed to provide navigation service with more stringent requirements. Actual satellite data, signals and measurements were collected for more than one month to analyze the positioning service qualities from both BDS and GPS. I...

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology of birth defects (BDs) in perinatal infants in Hunan Province, China, between 2005 and 2014. METHODS The BD surveillance data of perinatal infants (for stillbirth, dead fetus or live birth between 28 weeks of gestation and 7 days after birth) were collected from 52 registered hospitals of Hunan between 2005 and 2014. The prevalence rates of BDs with 95% ...

Compared with surgery, endoscopic treatment is safe and highly effective for a postoperative hilar benign bile duct stricture (BDS). However, the long-term outcome of conventional placement of a single biliary stent for hilar benign BDS is generally poor. Although the placement of multiple biliary stents is preferred, multiple stenting in a BDS is difficult. Alternatively, single or multiple st...

OBJECTIVE Birth defects (BDs) are an important cause of infant mortality and disproportionately occur among low birth weight infants. We determined the prevalence of BDs in a cohort of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants cared for at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network (NRN) centers over a 10-year period and examined the...

BACKGROUND Sulfur oxides released from the burning of oil causes severe environmental pollution. The sulfur can be removed via the 4S pathway in biodesulfurization (BDS). Immobilization approaches have been developed to prevent cell contamination of oil during the BDS process. OBJECTIVES The encapsulation of Rhodococcus erythropolis R1 in calcium alginate beads was studied in order to enhance...
