BACKGROUND Health insurance has many benefits including improved financial security, greater access to preventive care, and better self-perceived health. However, the influence of health insurance on major health outcomes is unclear. Sudden cardiac arrest prevention represents one of the major potential benefits from health insurance, given the large impact of sudden cardiac arrest on premature...

We perturbed the growth rate estimates for the resistant mutants by the multiplicative random factor (1 + 0.2 · U [−1, 1]) representing a 20% noise level, and performed 100 randomized trials. Table S1 shows the probability of sensitivity to imatinib (I), dasatinib (D), imatinib + dasatinib (I+D), and imatinib + dasatinib + nilotinib (I+D+N) for the baseline unperturbed growth rates, as well as ...

The parallel numerical solution of large scale elliptic boundary value problems is discussed. We analyze the parallel complexity of two block-circulant preconditioners when the conjugate gradient method is used to solve the sparse linear systems arising from such problems. A simple general model of the parallel performance is applied to the considered shared memory parallel architecture. Estima...

Data on mycoses known to be imported into the United Kingdom are sparse. Estimates on the prevalence of fungal infections have to be based on indirect and incomplete figures, obtained from isolation figures and reports of individual cases to co-ordinating centres such as the Mycological Reference Laboratory and the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre of the Public Health Laboratory Service...

The presence of laminin in authentic basement membranes was examined at the level of a large pepsin-resistant fragment P1. This strongly antigenic fragment has been recently isolated from a mouse tumour basement membrane. By using antibodies to mouse laminin P1 for identification it was possible to isolate a homologous fragment P1 (Mr about 250 000) and a related component Pa (Mr about 70 000--...

A new intramuscular iron preparation (Ferastral) permitting high doses of iron (500 mg) to be given in two simultaneous of 250 mg, was tested in 20 courses given to 11 patients with iron deficiency anaemia. The total iron doses given ranged from 1 000-2 500 mg. The amount injected was calculated from the degree of haemoglobin deficiency. Additional 500-1 000 mg iron were given to fill the depot...
