OBJECTIVE To propose a method for the interpolation of yearly local-level covariates of health status that is suitable for panel data analysis of the effect of health services. METHODS The proposed method distributes the yearly rate of growth of covariates at the regional level (e.g., state) from household survey data, and applies it to interpolate yearly data at the local level (e.g., munici...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly detected by remote monitoring of implanted devices. A common question whether to start anticoagulation in patients with AF at risk stroke. However, the cause rarely able be diagnosed or corrected. Repetitive non-reentrant ventriculoatrial synchrony (RNRVAS) a pacemaker mediated arrhythmia that can occur intact (VA) conduction. Ventricular pacing retrograde a...

OBJECTIVE Increased basal cortisol levels have been found in bulimia nervosa. After stress, increased cortisol levels have been associated with increased food intake in healthy women. Therefore, we assessed cortisol, hunger, and desire to binge eat after a cold pressor test (CPT) among women with binge eating disorder (BED). METHODS Twenty-two obese (body mass index [BMI] = 36.7 +/- 6.5 SD) f...

We report on the results of XMM-Newton observations of two Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs), Q1246-057 and SBS 1542+541. Unprecedented sensitivity of XMM allows spectral analysis of these X-ray weak sources. The X-ray spectral data of these sources can be fitted by a power-law with αX=1.0-1.2 and either a partially covering absorber or an ionized absorber model. Rest frame UV spectrosco...
