The paper examines the steady state solutions to rational treatment patterns of SIS dieases. Individual behavior is shown to lead to the possibility of signi cant undertreatment through the presence of unrewarded external bene ts.

The sustainable information society (SIS) is one of the most important topics of our time. ICTs play a key role in this society. Unfortunately, factors determining the successful ICTs adoption and consequently the SIS development are not sufficiently established. Therefore, the aim of this study is to answer the question about critical success factors for the SIS in Poland. These factors were i...

Introduction A specific algorithm has been proposed for classifying impingement related shoulder pain in athletes with overhead activity. Data on the inter-examiner reproducibility of the suggested clinical tests and criteria and their mutual dependencies for identifying subacromial impingement symptoms (SIS) are not available. Objective To test the inter-examiner reproducibility of selected t...

The objective of this study was to investigate the internal consistency and the construct validity of the Dutch version of the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS-NL1.0; Buntinx 2006) in individuals with physical disabilities (N = 65). To investigate the construct validity, the relationship between SIS subscales and practical skills (Barthel Index; BI) was calculated. Support was provided for the int...

The unique SIS-Health Monitoring solution is a set of tools and services that enable industry practitioners to measure the status and health of their safety instruments, analyze their reliability and safety integrity, optimize test intervals, and reduce spurious process trips. In addition, the SISHealth Monitoring solution enables the detection of unexpected trends, the maintenance of test freq...

The regulation of c-sis oncogene expression in human glioblastoma cell line A172 has been investigated using a sensitive RNA-RNA solution hybridization method. Enhanced expression of c-sis mRNA was induced by phorbol ester (PMA) and diacylglycerol, each of which activates protein kinase C. c-sis mRNA was also induced by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). The response to PMA and TGF-bet...

Background and Purpose—We sought to assess the psychometric attributes of the Brazilian version of the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0 in stroke survivors. Methods—Patients were evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, Barthel Index, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, modified Rankin Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Hospi...
