Determinations have been made of the level of serotonin in various fetal and maternal tissues of goats and rabbits. In the goat, both fetal brain and blood were higher in serotonin content than comparable maternal tissues. Furthermore, in the goat fetal neocortical areas unexpectedly were found to be richer in serotonin than certain subcortical structures. In contrast to the goat, the rabbit wa...

We study the rigidity properties of a class of algebraic Z-actions with entropy rank two. For this class, conditions are found which force an invariant measure to be the Haar measure on an affine subset. This is applied to show isomorphism rigidity for such actions, and to provide examples of non-isomorphic Z-actions with all their Z-sub-actions isomorphic. The proofs use lexicographic half-spa...

Additional experimental work on the subject of eosin hemolysis has been carried out. This indicates that red cells may be protected against the toxic action of eosin in sunlight by the presence of inorganic reducing agents. It is pointed out that a marked parallelism exists between the substances which react with the Folin and Denis reagent and the compounds which afford protection to red cells...

Abstract Background The discharge summary is the main method of communication integrating care older adults from acute hospital admission to their destination. HIQA published standards ensure high quality and safe information transfer between settings. We designed an audit evaluate summaries orthogeriatric service before after introduction a template for use by Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors (...

Schedule management of hospitalization is important to maintain or improve the quality of medical care and application of a clinical pathway is one of the important solutions for the management. Although several kinds of deductive methods for construction for a clinical pathway have been proposed, the customization is one of the important problems. This research proposed an inductive approach t...

The practice of evidence-based medicine requires the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research and the patient's unique values and circumstances. This paper addresses the problem of making explicit the knowledge on individual clinical expertise which is implicit in the hospital databases as data about the daily treat...
