Objectives: To evaluate whether an antenatal and immediate postpartum Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score are predictive of future postpartum depression and observe the correlation in-between the scores and associated risk factors. Methods: Study Design A survey recruiting 345 women from March 2015 to February 2016 using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale for same group of individuals:...

Objectives: Real ear measurement plays a critical role in children’s hearing aid fitting. This study aimed to evaluate the conformity of measured and predicted real-ear aided response (REAR) of prescribed formula desired sensation level (DSL) v5 Pediatric in children aged 4 to 7 years. Since there is limited information about the effect of the degree of hearing loss (DOHL), ethnicity, gender, a...

No. EPDs are not additive, they are used to compare differences between two animals. If over the course of 4 years you use a different bull each year (with birth weight EPDs of +2, +3, +5, and +5), you have NOT added 15 lbs of actual birth weight to your calf crop. By difference, you have added only 5 lbs of birth weight to your calves, and that assumes you were using a bull with a low birth we...

A new carcass EPD has been developed for the American Angus Association’s National Carcass Evaluation Program. A percentage of retail product EPD combines the traditional carcass traits (hot carcass weight, fat thickness, ribeye area and KPH) into a composite EPD. Although the heritabilitty for this trait (.25) is not the highest for the carcass traits, it is high enough for breeders to make si...

conclusions kannada children with rd were particularly poor on simultaneous and successive processing. our results support the heterogeneity view of rd. results independent-samples t tests (two-tailed) showed significant difference between the groups on all the pass component subtests. the pass scores of children with rd were scattered unevenly around the average to well below the average range...

How do humans choose one arm or the other to reach single targets in front of the body? Current theories of reward-driven decisionmaking predict that choice results from a comparison of "action values," which are the expected rewards for possible actions in a given state. In addition, current theories of motor control predict that in planning arm movements, humans minimize an expected motor cos...

The hyperfine spin splittings in heavy quarkonia are studied using the recently developed renormalization group improved spin-spin potential which is independent of the scale parameter μ. The calculated energy difference between the J/ψ and the ηc fits the experimental data well, while the predicted energy difference ∆Mp between the center of the gravity of 1 P0,1,2 states and the 1P1 state of ...

The impact of installing process control systems can be expected in terms of performance improvements through reduced operating costs.  Since these installations impose considerable capital expenditure, the profitability of the new systems should be economically justified. Controlled variable trend was reconstructed by a combination of simple waves, which provided a means to simulate the ef...

BACKGROUND We sought to determine if a common polymorphism can influence vulnerability to LDL cholesterol, and thereby influence the clinical benefit derived from therapies that reduce LDL cholesterol. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of the association between a common Trp719Arg polymorphism in the kinesin-like protein 6 (KIF6) gene and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and a met...
