BACKGROUND Families play an essential role in maintaining children's mental, social, and physical health. The family provides the first and the most important social context for human development. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to predict early maladaptive schemas using Baumrind's parenting styles (root development). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 357 undergraduate students of Islamic ...

We review quantum chaos on graphs. We construct a unitary operator which represents the quantum evolution on the graph and study its spectral and wavefunction statistics. This operator is the analogue of the classical evolution operator on the graph. It allow us to establish a connection between the corresponding periodic orbits and the statistical properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. ...

conclusions with improving some factors and qol of patients on hd, we can promote sq in these patients that it might lead to reduction in length of hospital stay. results the mean age of patients was 54.4 ± 17.1 years and 39.7% of patients were > 60 years old. the majority of our patients had poor sq (60.6%). patients with diabetes mellitus were significantly more likely to have poor quality of...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), regardless of histology. However, histologic subtypes of NSCLC may influence treatment outcomes of ICIs. We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate if there is difference in survival benefits of ICIs between squamous (SQ) and non-squamous (non-SQ) NSCLC. We searched PubMed, ...

values in A. This justifies the choice of the backward and forward terminology above. We denote by, respectively, F(C, f) and B(C, f) the set of Fand Bcomplete abstractions of C for f . It is worth noting that in general F(C, f) 6⊆ B(C, f) and F(C, f) 6⊆ B(C, f), namely Band F-completeness are incomparable notions. Example 1. Let Sign be the simple abstraction of 〈℘(Z),⊆〉 for analysing integer ...

We compared vascular and hormonal responses to teprotide (SQ 20,881) and captopril (SQ 14,225) in patients with normal renin essential hypertension given a 10 mEq sodium diet. In 10 patients receiving SQ 20,881, significant changes occurred in diastolic blood pressure (DBP, -13 +/- 2.5 mm Hg), angiotensin II (-7.1 +/- 2.1 pg/ml), and plasma renin activity (PRA, +6.6 +/- 1.9 ng/ml/hr) (p < 0.01 ...

INTRODUCTION Prostacyclin analogs are Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and can be administered by inhalational, intravenous (IV), or subcutaneous (SQ) routes. Because there are limited data to guide the transition between SQ to IV prostacyclin analogs, we describe our experience. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of...

New squalene receptors bearing open-chain polyether ligands (SQ-diEG, SQ-triEG, SQ-tetraEG) were synthesised. The stoichiometries and association constants (Ka) for the interactions between these representative alkaline earth metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+) determined in solution. Fluorescence spectral studies revealed that self-associate with critical vesicle concentrations at 25 °C of 2.2 × 10−...

Let sq be the sum-of-digits function in base q, q � 2. If t is a positive integer, we denote by tR the unique integer that is obtained from t by reversing the order of the digits of the proper representation of t in base q. In this work we prove that for all α ∈ R and all positive integers t the correlation measure γ(α, t) = lim x→∞ 1 x � n<x e2πiα(sq(n+t)−sq(n)) satisfies γ(α, t) = γ(α, tR). F...

Let S ⊂ R be compact with #S = ∞ and let C(S) be the set of all real continuous functions on S. We ask for an algebraic polynomial sequence (Pn) ∞ n=0 with deg Pn = n such that every f ∈ C(S) has a unique representation f = ∑∞ i=0 αiPi and call such a basis Faber basis. In the special case of S = Sq = {qk; k ∈ N0} ∪ {0}, 0 < q < 1, we prove the existence of such a basis. A special orthonormal F...
