During the past five years, the number of US. citizens who own foreign securities has increased by thirty percent. This trend has led to the need for a uniform accounting system that would increase the comparability and consistency of financial statements across countries in the world Today, over I 00 countries have adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (!FRS) as their primary acc...

Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a novel coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor, but its use as an independent factor for CAD risk prediction remains unclear in Asian population. This study examined the association between serum GGT concentration and Framingham risk score (FRS) in the Korean population. This cross-sectional study was performed on 30,710 Koreans. Besides FRS, body mass inde...

INTRODUCTION The Frontotemporal Dementia Rating Scale (FTD-FRS) is a tool designed to aid with clinical staging and assessment of the progression of frontotemporal dementia (FTD-FRS). OBJECTIVE Present a multicentre adaptation and validation study of a Spanish version of the FRS. METHODOLOGY The adapted version was created using 2 translation-back translation processes (English to Spanish, ...

OBJECTIVE In the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision(ICD-10) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Third and Fourth Edition(DSM-III-IV), the presence of one of Schneider "first-rank symptoms" (FRS) is symptomatically sufficient for the schizophrenia diagnosis. Yet, it has been claimed that FRS may also be found in the nonschizophrenic conditi...

PURPOSE The benefit of milk intake remains controversial. The association between milk consumption and Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in a population consuming relatively low amounts of dairy products is undetermined. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 13736 adults (5718 male and 8018 female) aged 20-80 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008-2011) were divided ...

BACKGROUND Currently, there is sparse data available on the relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors estimated by the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in Korea. This is particularly true when looking at risk factors of CHD associated with the FRS after adjustment for other covariates especially in healthy subjects. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We conducted a prospec...

± S.E.)6) was chromatographed on a silica gel colurnn to separate it into the 100% hexane, 20% AcOEtl hexane, 50% AcOEtlhexane and 100% AcOEt frs. The bioassay results clearly confirmed that the active component(s) in the original hexane fr. were concentrated in the 20% AcOEtfhexane fr. (92,4%± 1.6). The activities of the other frs. were as follows: 100% hexane fr. (O.O%± O.O), 50% AcOEt!hexane...

We study transient work fluctuation relations (FRs) for Gaussian stochastic systems generating anomalous diffusion. For this purpose we use a Langevin approach by employing two different types of additive noise: (i) internal noise where the fluctuation–dissipation relation of the second kind (FDR II) holds, and (ii) external noise without FDR II. For internal noise we demonstrate that the exist...

BACKGROUND Poststroke fatigue is a persistent and distressing symptom among stroke survivors. In this study, we investigated the reliability and validity of a vertical numerical rating scale supplemented with a faces rating scale (NRS-FRS) in measuring poststroke fatigue. METHODS The fatigue intensity of 106 individuals with stroke was measured twice, 1 week apart, using a vertical NRS-FRS to...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the correlation between the total heart calcification score index (CSI), assessed by echocardiography, left ventricle mass index (LVMI), Framingham risk score (FRS), and angiographically assessed coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Aortic valve and root sclerosis (AVS, ARS) and mitral annular calcium (MAC) detected by echocardiography have been associated with ath...
