Abstract Objective To evaluate breast density notification legislation (BDNL) on imaging practice patterns, risk assessment, and supplemental screening. Methods A 20-question anonymous web-based survey was administered to practicing Society of Breast Imaging radiologists in the U.S. between February April 2021 regarding cancer screening, measurements. Results were compared facilities with witho...

The semileptonic decays B̄ → D(D)πlν̄ are analyzed by heavy quark and chiral symmetries. The branching ratio is of order of a few percent for B̄ → Dπlν̄, but it is much smaller for B̄ → Dπlν̄, of order 10−4− 10. The decay mode B → Dπeν̄e provides a nice place for extracting the DDπ coupling constant from the semileptonic decays of a B̄ meson. Two types of weak radiative decays of B̄ mesons and bottom ba...

Medicaid services and expenditures were analyzed for care during the prenatal, delivery, and post-delivery periods in three States--California, Georgia, and Michigan. Uniform data were used from the Health Care Financing Administration's Medicaid Tape-to-Tape project, 1983-84. Results indicate that from 16 to 24 percent of all births in the States of the study, during the study period, were fin...

Reproductive wastage was investigated over two seasons among sheep grazing non-oestrogenic pastures. The results show that approximately 25 percent of the ewes were not cycling when the rams were joined. Ovulation rates were consistently low, averaging 1.09, and fertilization rates consistently high, averaging 93 percent. Embryonic mortality varied widely between properties and years, but avera...

The membrane-associated guanylate kinases [Chapsyn-110/postsynaptic density-93 (PSD-93), synapse-associated protein-90 (SAP-90)/PSD-95, and SAP-102] are believed to cluster and anchor NMDA receptors at the synapse and to play a role in signal transduction. We have investigated the developmental changes in expression of these proteins in rat hippocampus using biochemical analyses and quantitativ...

BACKGROUND Transfusion-transmitted malaria is uncommon in the United States. After the report of three cases of complicated Plasmodium falciparum infection acquired by transfusion, we reviewed all cases of transfusion-transmitted malaria reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 1963 through 1999. METHODS Information on the patients was from surveillance reports se...

OBJECTIVE This report describes changes in the use of voluntary workers in nursing homes between 1985 and 1999. Statistics are presented on selected characteristics of nursing homes using voluntary workers and the services they perform. Factors that may contribute to the increased use of voluntary workers are also discussed. METHODS The data presented in this report were collected from the 19...
