Sarday, O cber 7, 2017 paralleled national trends (R=-0.85); smoking rates in PS patients were significantly lower for all years studied (p<0.01). After PSM, GS smokers continued to be more comorbid than respective nonsmokers, with greater incidences of diabetes, hypertension, dypsnea, and prior cardiac surgery (p<0.01); PS smokers were not significantly different than respective nonsmokers. Sm...

We aimed to examine associations between cognitive vulnerability and gait speed (GS) in a large older sample. A cross-sectional study analyzed data from the “Health, Lifestyle Fitness Adults Seniors Amazonas” (SEVAAI) project. In total, 697 participants were included (mean age 70.35 ± 6.86 years). Usual fast GS evaluated, performance was examined by COGTEL test battery. There positive correlati...

PURPOSE To identify relationships between central corneal thickness (CCT) and optic disc topography, as determined by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), for patients seen in a specialist glaucoma service. METHODS 272 eyes of 144 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG; n = 71), normal tension glaucoma (NTG; n = 50), ocular hypertension (OH; n = 48) and those considered to be suspici...

Anomalies of discrete R-symmetries appearing in heterotic orbifold models are studied. We find that the mixed anomalies for different gauge groups satisfy the universal Green-Schwarz (GS) condition, indicating that these anomalies are canceled by the GS mechanism. An exact relation between the anomaly coefficients of the discrete Rsymmetries and one-loop beta-function coefficients is obtained. ...

where Xs+1 is the fiber of gs. We get an exact couple of homotopy groups and a spectral sequence with E 1 = πt−s(Ks) and dr : E s,t r → Es+r,t+r−1 r . This spectral sequence converges to π∗(X) (where X = X0) if the homotopy inverse limit lim←Xs is contractible and certain lim 1 groups vanish. When X is connective, it is a first quadrant spectral sequence. For more background, see [Rav86]. In th...

GS-9148 [(5-(6-amino-purin-9-yl)-4-fluoro-2,5-dihydro-furan-2-yloxymethyl)phosphonic acid] is a novel ribose-modified human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nucleotide reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor (NRTI) selected from a series of nucleoside phosphonate analogs for its favorable in vitro biological properties including (i) a low potential for mitochondrial toxicity, (ii) a minimal c...

The purpose of the present work was the study of the gentamicin sulphate (GS) release from a commercial acrylic bone cement CMW-1 with the aims of establishing the influence of the slabs preparation as well as the release mechanism and kinetics. The effect of the amount of GS on the release kinetic parameters has been also investigated. In vitro release studies were performed in a buffered sali...

Background: Research concerning prevention of diabetic foot complications is critical. A novel in-shoe plantar sensory replacement unit (PSRU) has been developed that provides alert-based feedback derived from analyzing plantar pressure threshold measurements in real time. The purpose of this study was to compare the PSRU device to a gold standard pressure-sensing device (GS-PSD) to determine t...

The geologic storage (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2) is emerging as an important tool for managing carbon. While this Journal recently published an excellent review of GS technology (Bruant, R. G.; Guswa, A. J.; Celia, M. A.; Peters, C. A. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2002, 36, 240A-245A), few studies have explored the regulatory environment for GS or have compared it with current underground injection ...

Objectives: Disease activity score (DAS) correlation to serum prolidase in comparison other pro-inflammatory markers rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cases.&#x0D; Method: Forty RA cases and 40 age sex matched controls were studied this case-control study. Cases fulfilled the 2010 American college of rheumatology (ACR)/ European League Against rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria. was assessed by...
