OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiology of road traffic injury (RTI) in Nepal for the period 2001-2013. METHODS 2 approaches, secondary data analysis and systematic literature review, were adopted. RTI data were retrieved from traffic police records and analysed for the incidence of RTI. Electronic databases were searched for published articles that described the epidemiology of RTI in Nepa...

Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 empowers citizens of India to access information from any governmental organization. Using this Act citizens can ask questions (through RTI applications/queries) to government offices and obtain answers. In this work we attempt to model RTI queries. Objective of modeling is to understand the latent patterns such as transparency and effectiveness of RTI Act i...

conclusions there is a need to conduct more comprehensive studies on effect of combination therapy with corticosteroids and antibiotics as well as their short-term and long-term adverse effects on the immune system. while injecting corticosteroids is commonly administered in patients with rti, they are not recommended due to the lack of data on their long-term therapeutic and adverse effects. p...

Dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitors may represent a promising class of drugs in the development of cocaine pharmacotherapies. In the present study, the effects of pretreatments with the selective DAT inhibitor 3beta-(4-chlorophenyl)tropane-2beta-[3-(4'-methylphenyl)isoxazol-5-yl] hydrochloride (RTI-336) (0.3-1.7 mg/kg) were characterized in rhesus monkeys trained to self-administer cocaine (0...

Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) is a technique for estimating surface local angular reflectance from set of stereo-photometric images captured with variable lighting directions. The digitization this information fully fits into the industry 4.0 approach and makes it possible to characterize visual properties surface. proposed method, namely HD-RTI, based on coupling RTI HDR imaging tec...

Introduction Road Traffic Injury is common cause of unintentional injury globally and Low and middle income countries account for 90% of 1.3 million Road Traffic Injury (RTI) deaths. In Africa region, Nigeria accounts for 25% of RTI mortality but has no comprehensive and reliable RTI surveillance system. Data from Federal Road Safety Commissions (FRSC) shows gaps in RTI reporting with large dis...

BACKGROUND Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are an important cause of death in children, and often contribute to the terminal decline in children with chronic conditions. RTIs are often underrecorded as the underlying cause of death; therefore the overall contribution of RTIs to child deaths and the potential preventability of RTI-related deaths have not been adequately quantified. METHODS...

Injured alveolar epithelial type (AT) I cells are replaced following the proliferation and transformation of ATII cells to new ATI cells. RTI(40) is an ATI cell-specific protein required for normal lung development. We hypothesized that intermediate cell types in the ATII-to-ATI cell transformation would coexpress RTI(40) and ATII cell-selective proteins. To test this hypothesis, we used a rat ...

OBJECTIVE/SETTING To provide a population-based analysis of childhood road traffic injuries (RTI) in two communities of the greater Accra region of Ghana, with the goal of establishing an RTI incidence baseline in these communities and to identify RTI characteristics in order to model a targeted injury prevention programme. STUDY DESIGN Geographical cluster sampling was performed in two separ...

Quantitative measurement of reverse transcriptase-inhibiting (RTI) antibodies in Japanese household cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was performed by poly A-linked colorimetric reverse transcriptase assay (PAC-RTA). Eight FIV-seropositive plasma samples were diluted twofold from 1:10 to 1:160 and incubated with FIV RT. Fifty percent RTI activity (RTI50) was calcu...
