Background. Different methods have been used to determine the prevalence and treatment of diabetes. Despite the large number of studies, previous estimations of prevalence and treatment have been carried out on relatively small numbers of patients, and then in only a few practices in single geographical regions. Aim. To investigate the feasibility of collating data from multi-practice audits or...

In the present work WRF model is used to generate meteorological fields for the HYSPLIT dispersion model. Sensitivity and validation of the WRF model, is conducted by utilizing different combinations of physical parameterization schemes. For this purpose, eight different configurations are examined. Assessment of the predictions of the WRF model is carried out by computing the statistical param...

An increasing number of cadaveric kidney transplants are now performed with organs from donors who would have been deemed unsuitable in earlier times. Although good allograft outcomes have been obtained with these marginal donor transplants, it is unclear whether recipients of marginal kidney transplants achieve a reduction in long-term mortality as do recipients of "ideal" kidneys. Patients wi...

Long lived halogen-containing compounds are important atmospheric constituents since they can act both as a source of chlorine radicals, which go on to catalyse ozone loss, and as powerful greenhouse gases. The long-term impact of these species on the ozone layer is dependent on their stratospheric lifetimes. Using observations from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectro...

BACKGROUND In the last decade, the health care sector has been enriched by numerous innovations such as apps and connected devices that assist users in weight reduction and diabetes management. However, only a few native apps in the oncological context exist, which support patients during treatment and aftercare. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze patients' acceptance regard...

This study presents a description of aerobic capacity in a large US population comprised of 1,514 men and 375 women. Such influencing factors as age, training state, occupation, and body composition were evaluated. The population consisted of new recruits entering the US Army from civilian life as well as soliders in a variety of assignments and physical training programs. Age ranged from 17 to...

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the age structure, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, sexual maturity stages, growth parameters, natural and fishing mortality coefficients of three species of kilka including common, anchovy and bigeye kilka. The fork length–weight relationship of common, anchovy and bigeye kilka were calculated as W=0.000153 FL2.37, W=0.000349 FL2.18 and W...

A 1 3-yr-old male with acute myelogenous therapy. Then, 53 yr later, he developed leukemia was treated with various chemoan extramedullary relapse with a chlotherapy regimens for 3 yr and then underroma of his maxillary sinus. This case ilwent an allogeneic bone marrow translustrates the need for prolonged followup plantation. The donor marrow was sucof transplant recipients and suggests that c...
