Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of nocturnal awakening with headache (NAH) in the population of São Paulo City according to gender, age (20-80 years old) and socioeconomic classes and its relationship to sleep disorders, sleep parameters, anxiety, depression, fatigue, life quality and obesity. We used a population-based survey with a representative three-stage cluster sample. Questionnai...

Abstract The history of Nordic Hydrology/Hydrology Research is described from its initiation in 1970 to current state 2021. This includes dramatic changes leading first an ownership transformation Association for Hydrology (NAH) 1976, and much later, 2004, a joint between NAH, British Hydrological Society IWA Publishing. development publication policy during time covered as well.

Statistically optimized near field acoustic holography (SONAH) differs from conventional near field acoustic holography (NAH) by avoiding spatial Fourier transforms; the processing is done directly in the spatial domain. The main advantage of SONAH compared with NAH is that the usual requirement of a measurement aperture that extends well beyond the source can be relaxed. Both NAH and SONAH are...

A direct-potential-fit analysis of all accessible data for the A (1)Σ(+) - X (1)Σ(+) system of NaH and NaD is used to determine analytic potential energy functions incorporating the correct theoretically predicted long-range behaviour. These potentials represent all of the data (on average) within the experimental uncertainties and yield an improved estimate for the ground-state NaH well depth ...

Meat is a well-known enhancer of iron absorption, yet the molecular entity mediating the effect remains obscure. Recently published data indicate that highly acidic sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) from fish and chicken muscle are effective stimulants of iron uptake in Caco-2 cells. Two fully randomized stable isotope studies with crossover design were performed in a group of 16 apparently hea...

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has gained increasing popularity in patients with diabetes. HIIT acutely increases plasma lactate levels. This may be important, since the administration of lactate during hypoglycemia suppresses symptoms and counterregulation while preserving cognitive function. We tested the hypothesis that, in the short term, HIIT reduces awareness of hypoglycemia and ...

OBJECTIVE To identify critical periods in the variation in body composition during a school year and determine possible causes. METHODS A total of 363 boys and girls aged between 10 and 14 years participated in the study. Before and after the Winter Holidays (WIH) and National Holidays (NAH) (July and September, respectively), measurements were taken of body weight, body fat percentage, waist...

Military jet aircraft are exposing both ground maintenance personnel and the community to high levels of noise. The US Department of Defense is funding research to develop advanced modeling tools for noise reduction techniques and community noise exposure. For these tools to achieve their full potential, innovative measurement and analysis methods are necessary to characterize the jet noise sou...

BACKGROUND A primary goal of recombinant human growth hormone therapy (GHT) in children is attaining normal adult height. In this study, children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (including isolated idiopathic growth hormone deficiency [IGHD] and multiple pituitary hormone deficiency [MPHD]), idiopathic short stature (ISS), and Turner syndrome (TS) were evaluated for near-adult height (NAH)...

Since its introduction, near-field acoustical holography (NAH) has been successfully used in characterizing the vibration of and radiation from a wide class of structural noise sources. In the past several years, some have begun to apply NAH to the characterization of aeroacoustic noise sources. To date, however, research has involved only axial fans and model-scale subsonic jets. In order to m...
