Not only is it likely your hospital's policy and a Joint Commission requirement, 1 but it's also good medical care. The pediatric literature over the past few decades has highlighted the importance of quality interpretation for Limited English Profi cient (LEP) patients to p...

Leptin (LEP) is associated with appetite regulation and metabolism. Concentration is linear with adiposity, suggesting LEP resistance. LEP circulates freely and bound with its soluble receptor (sOB-r); the ratio is the free leptin index (FLI), an index of leptin resistance; lower FLI suggests reduced biological action. Purpose. The aim was to determine the effect of changes in adipose tissue di...

California is home to one-third of the U.S. population with limited English proficiency (LEP). Studies indicate that treating LEP patients without professional interpreters can result in miscommunication, decreased patient satisfaction, and serious medical errors. To address this problem, federal laws require all health care institutions receiving federal monies to provide interpretation servic...

We search for the neutral Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model at LEP 2. At the tree level any experimental constraints on tan β cannot be set by the Higgs search at LEP 2 with √ s = 175 GeV, whereas at LEP 2 with √ s = 192 GeV tan β can be set by an experimental constraint. Furthermore the tree level parameter space of the model can be completely explored by the Hi...

Searches for supersymmetry at LEP allowing for R p are reviewed. The results are compared with the R p conserving scenario. Searches for supersymmetry at LEP allowing for Rp are reviewed. The results are compared with the Rp conserving scenario.

The heterochronic genes lin-28, let-7 and lin-41 regulate fundamental developmental transitions in animals, such as stemness versus differentiation and juvenile versus adult states. We identify a new heterochronic gene, lep-2, in Caenorhabditis elegans. Mutations in lep-2 cause a delay in the juvenile-to-adult transition, with adult males retaining pointed, juvenile tail tips, and displaying de...

OBJECTIVE The relationship between variants of the leptin gene (LEP) and obesity and metabolic biomarkers was investigated in Brazilian individuals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One-hundred-ten obese (BMI > 30 kg/m(2)) and 100 non-obese individuals (145 women and 65 men, aged 49 +/- 14 years) were randomly selected. Plasma leptin, glycemia, serum lipid measurements and LEP -2548G>A and 3'HVR polymorp...

Measurements of the LEP beam parameters have been fundamental to performance improvements and this report describes the principles and techniques involved in the beam instrumentation systems of LEP. Geneva, Switzerland January 13, 1999

BACKGROUND: Pre-pubertal nutrition managements are considered essential for animal health, optimizing production and reproductive performance in livestock. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the effects of dietary low and high energy and protein provisions on body growth, blood metabolites and inherent safety index were investigated in pre-pubertal Kurdish female lambs. METHODS: We fed 40 healthy Kurdi...

A Ph.D. dissertation completed by E.D. Cashatt in 1968 entitled "Revision of the Chrysauginae of North America" does not meet the criteria of publication so the new taxa described therein are not available per the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. In order to validate the taxa proposed in that document we formally describe and illustrate the following: Arta brevivalvalis Cashatt, s...
