Actively seeking health services lies at the core of effective models of chronic disease self-management and contributes to promoting the utilization of allied health services (AHS). However, the use of AHS by ethnic minority Chinese, especially the elderly living in rural areas, has not received much attention. This study, therefore, aims to explore the association between personal characteris...

Anarchic hand syndrome (AHS) is characterized by goal-directed movements performed without volitional control (agency). Different AHS subtypes have been identified; however, few studies have examined the posterior subtype. We report a case of AHS following right-hemisphere parietal damage, with left-sided somatosensory and proprioceptive impairment. Agency was examined for nonanarchic (volition...

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) is a rare, but severe and potentially fatal, adverse reaction that occurs in patients who are treated with commonly used older anticonvulsant drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbital) and/or with some newer agents (lamotrigine). Paediatric patients are at an increased risk for the development of AHS for the higher incidence of seizure diso...

Purpose. Active surveillance is an emergent strategy for management of indolent prostate cancer. Our institution's watchful waiting protocol, Active Holistic Surveillance (AHS), implements close monitoring for disease progression along with various chemopreventive agents and attempts to reduce unnecessary biopsies. Our objective is to report on the treatment rates of men on our AHS protocol as ...

In a fully automated Automated Highway System (AHS), the roadside control system and the vehicles themselves are responsible for moving the large number of vehicles safely and efficiently. Therefore, the task of operating an AHS is drastically different from and much more complex than its conventional counterpart. Resulting from a large number of design options, there exist many possible ways t...

In this paper, we present Adaptive Hierarchical Sensing (AHS), a novel adaptive hierarchical sensing algorithm for sparse signals. For a given but unknown signal with a sparse representation in an orthogonal basis, the sensing task is to identify its non-zero transform coefficients by performing only few measurements. A measurement is simply the inner product of the signal and a particular meas...

The xed point result in Mustafa-Sims metrical structures obtained by Karapinar and Agarwal[Fixed Point Th. Appl., 2013, 2013:154] is deductible from a corresponding one stated in terms ofanticipative contractions over the associated (standard) metric space.

Animal healthcare services (AHS) are crucial for the profitability and sustainability of smallholder dairy production systems. The deteriorating AHS under the control of public sector has oriented towards privatization of these services. Therefore, any study analyzing the potential impact of privatization in terms of willingness to pay for such services by the rural households and access to pri...
