Statistical analyses were made of the time-space configuration of 406 acute leukemia cases in DeKalb and Fulton Counties, Georgia, over the 13-yr period 1956-1968. Separate analyses were performed for each of three age groups, 0-14 yr, 15-49 yr, and 50 yrplus, cases being assigned to 2and 3-yr time segments and to census tract units according to date of onset and place of residence at diagnosis...

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical profile of VKC in tertiary health care centre. Methods: This prospective observational longitudinal single-Centre study, included 200 eyes 100 patients with age group 05-20 years diagnosedVKC.Subjects who satisfy all inclusion criteria and meet no exclusion were study. Each patient was thoroughly examined slit lamp. Results: In 11-15 yr majority (49%) followed ...

    The length-weight relationship, age, growth parameters, sex ratio, mortality and exploitation rate of Salmo trutta fario were determined in Lar dam. The sex ratio (male: female) was 1:1.84 which differed significantly from the expected 1:1. The length-weight regression was (females) and (males) indicating a negative allometric growth for both sexes. Growth parameters were estimated as L∞ = ...

BACKGROUND Suitable propofol plasma concentrations during gastroscopy have not been determined for suppressing somatic and hemodynamic responses in different age groups. METHODS Propofol sedation at target plasma concentrations from 0.5 to 4.0 microgram/ml were performed randomly in three groups of patients (23 per group) who were undergoing elective outpatient gastroscopy: ages 17-49 yr (gro...

INTRODUCTION Nigeria which constitutes just one percent of the world population, accounts for 13% of the world maternal and under-five mortality. Utilization of health care services has been an important determinant of maternal and child outcomes. The vast majority of maternal and child deaths could be prevented if women utilize the available life lines. The study objective was to determine uti...

BACKGROUND Understanding what causes changes in the flux of free fatty acids (FFA) is important to elucidate the etiology of metabolic syndrome. The first aim of this study was to test whether or not hormones and the autonomic nervous system influence blood FFA levels. A secondary aim was to test by means of a multiple group path analysis whether the consumption of fermented red ginseng (FRG; P...

The effects of aging on lower trunk (trunk-low-back joint-pelvis) coordination and energy transfer during locomotion has received little attention; consequently, there are scant biomechanical data available for comparison with patient populations whose upper body movements may be impaired by orthopaedic or neurologic disorders. To address this problem, we analyzed gait data from a cross-section...

The forest-floor represents an important interface for various carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes, however, our knowledge of their variability and drivers across a managed boreal forest landscape is limited. Here, we used three-year (2016?2018) data set biometric- chamber-based flux measurements to investigate the net CO2 exchange (NEff) its component fluxes 50 stands spanning different soil types, tr...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of margin positivity in clinically and pathologically localized prostate cancer (pT2) after radical prostatectomy on biochemical recurrence and time to adjuvant treatment. We analyzed data from 371 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. At the mean follow up of 36 (25-54) months, impact of margin positivity in pT2 patients on prostate speci...

Interspersed repetitive sequences (IRSs) are a major contributor to genome size and may contribute to cellular functions. IRSs are subdivided according to size and functionally related structures into short interspersed elements, long interspersed elements (LINEs), DNA transposons, and LTR-retrotransposons. Many IRSs may produce RNA and regulate genes by a variety of mechanisms. The majority of...
