Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is classified into 3 clinical subsets: endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated BL. So far, possible differences in their gene expression profiles (GEPs) have not been investigated. We studied GEPs of BL subtypes, other B-cell lymphomas, and B lymphocytes; first, we found that BL is a unique molecular entity, distinct from other B-cell malignancies. Indeed, by un...

OBJECTIVE Commonly observed shifts in the utilization of medical care services to treat diseases may pose problems for official price indexes at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that do not account for service shifts. We examine how these shifts may lead to different price estimates than those observed in official price statistics at the BLS. DATA SOURCES We use a convenience sample of en...

BACKGROUND Despite being recommended as a compulsory part of the school curriculum, the teaching of basic life support (BLS) has yet to be implemented in high schools in most countries. OBJECTIVES To compare prior knowledge and degree of immediate and delayed learning between students of one public and one private high school after these students received BLS training. METHODS Thirty studen...

OBJECTIVE Emergency medical dispatch (EMD) protocols should match response resources with patient needs. We tested a protocol sending only a commercial ambulance, without fire department first responders (FR), to all non-cardiac-arrest EMS calls at a physician-staffed HMO facility. Study objectives were to determine how often FR provided patient care at such facilities and whether EMD implement...

As one of the fastest-growing new energy sources, wind power technology has attracted widespread attention from all over world. In order to improve quality generation, speed prediction is an indispensable task. this paper, error correction-based Variational Mode Decomposition and Broad Learning System (VMD-BLS) hybrid model proposed for prediction. First, decomposed into multiple components by ...

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has attracted much attention in the field of remote sensing. However, lack sufficient labeled training samples is a huge challenge for HSI classification. To face this challenge, we propose semisupervised method based on graph convolutional broad network (GCBN). First, to avoid underfitting problem caused by insufficient linear sparse feature representat...

Background: An adequate knowledge and practice of providing Basic Life Support (BLS) a positive attitudetowards initiating the procedure is very necessary among postgraduate medical students. The objective thisstudy was to assess knowledge, attitude regarding BLS studentsin tertiary care institute.Methods: In present cross-sectional study, 160 students were assessed using predefinedquestionnair...

BACKGROUND The effect of peer-led training in basic life support (BLS) in the education of medical students has not been assessed. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study was a randomized controlled trial with a blinded outcome assessor. A total of 74 fourth-year medical students at Ehime University School of Medicine, Japan were randomly assigned to BLS training conducted by either a senior medical ...

OBJECTIVE The study objective was to implement two strategies (short emotional stimulus vs announced practical assessment) in the teaching of resuscitation skills in order to evaluate whether one led to superior outcomes. SETTING This study is an educational intervention provided in one German academic university hospital. PARTICIPANTS First-yearmedical students (n=271) during the first3 we...
