Assessing mitigation of phosphorus (P) leaching from subsurface drainage systems is challenging due to high spatial and temporal variation in leaching. Mean measured total P leaching from a clayey soil in an eight-year study period (four replicates per treatment) was (kg ha-1 year-1): 1.21 from shallow autumn tillage (ShT), 0.84 from unfertilised fallow (UF), 0.81 from conventional autumn ploug...

To the Editor: Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) is common among psychiatric inpatients. A comprehensive review reported that the estimated prevalence ranged from 3% to 51% and increased over time.1 DAMA has received little attention in the medical literature, and most works were published a decade ago. The literature shows that patients requesting DAMA have poorer long-term prognoses,1 h...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to characterize hospitalizations associated with discharges against medical advice (DAMA) in a large, population-based data system. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study on 11 436 500 hospital admissions. The hospital discharge records for residents of the Veneto region (north-east Italy) discharged from 2001 to 2012, from both publ...

Dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii) are considered significant pests in the Bay of Plenty. FeraCol, a possum control product, was tested for palatability and efficacy on eight penned male dama wallabies. FeraCol had very low palatability to captive wallabies. Only one wallaby ate a lethal dose, and it died 4 days later. FeraCol, in its present form, would be unsuitable for controlling dama wallab...

BACKGROUND Discharging patients against medical advice is a problem of every age-group. However, because of their physiological vulnerability, the risk for the neonatal population is greater when discharged against medical advice (DAMA). This article is a study of the prevalence of the problem, the possible causes and/or risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 10 years o...

We present an accurate model of the muon-induced background in the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. Our work challenges proposed mechanisms which seek to explain the observed DAMA signal modulation with muon-induced backgrounds. Muon generation and transport are performed using the MUSIC/MUSUN code, and subsequent interactions in the vicinity of the DAMA detector cavern are simulated with Geant4. We esti...

1,8‑dihydroxy‑3‑acetyl‑6‑methyl‑9,10 anthraquinone (DAMA) was synthesized from emodin. In the present study, the activity and the oncosis‑like mechanism of DAMA‑enhanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell sensitivity to ionizing radiation was examined. The results demonstrated that DAMA has a 1.46‑fold radiosensitisation activity for nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE 1 cells with a non‑cytotoxic co...

A model for the Q2-dependent modified dual amplitude with Mandelstam analyticity (M-DAMA) is proposed. M-DAMA preserves all the attractive properties of DAMA, such as its pole structure and Regge asymptotics, and leads to a generalized dual amplitude A(s,t,Q2). This amplitude can be checked in the known kinematical limits, i.e. it should reduce to onshell hadronic scattering amplitude for Q2 = ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM DAMA is a result of patient dissatisfaction, which increases the rate of readmission, mortality, and complications. In this study, the causes and predictors of DAMA in Shahid Labbafinejad Hospital of Tehran were determined. METHODS The descriptive and analytical study was conducted in 2016 from the information of 1,168 hospitalized patients in the period of 2015 and the fir...

Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) can have detrimental effects on patient outcomes. Recently, the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked with DAMA in the mental health setting. However, PTSD as a risk factor for DAMA in surgical patients has not received much consideration, although such patients may be at risk for triggering or amplification of PTSD symptoms pe...
