Case 1. III.2 (Fig.), a 10-year-old Caucasian male, was first seen at the University of Kansas Medical Center in September 1968, complaining of uncontrollable movements. He was the product of a full-term gestation and uneventful delivery with a birthweight of 4593 g. Other than the main complaint, growth and development had been normal. He had the usual childhood diseases without a history sugg...

BACKGROUND With ever-increasing life expectancy globally, it is imperative to build knowledge of how older peoples' views of their own aging, considering their health-related circumstances, affect quality of life for practitioners and policy-makers alike. Based on our literature review, we wanted to determine whether older adults' attitudes toward their own aging would partly mediate the effect...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the use of online dissemination strategies, such as websites and social media, to increase the visibility and uptake of research. OBJECTIVE To describe two online dissemination strategies of the Canada Research Chair in Implementation of Shared Decision Making in Primary Care over an eight-year period. METHODS Our two sources of online dissemination data wer...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk stroke and mortality. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) the most effective treatment to reduce AF burden a reduced death. Differences in long-term clinical outcomes following PVI between sexes are debatable. Purpose We aimed explore sex differences contemporary ...

A simple system has been designed enabling ultrasensitive on-line detection of fluorescently labelled macromolecules, e.g. nucleic acids, proteins and peptides during electrophoretic separations in gels. An important application is the automated DNA sequence determination without radioactivity. Drying of gels, film exposure and handling are not necessary. A sulphydryl containing M13 sequencing ...

Electron-impact double ionization cross sections for H− are calculated using a non-perturbative time-dependent close-coupling theory. The total wavefunction for the three-electron system is represented by a coupled channels expansion involving simple products of three-dimensional radial lattices and six-dimensional coupled spherical harmonics. Following time evolution of the total wavefunction ...

Anabaena planktonica is a harmful, bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterium, which has arrived recently in New Zealand. In the short time since its incursion (<10 yr), A. planktonica has spread rapidly throughout lakes in the North Island. To date, the identification and enumeration of A. planktonica has been undertaken using light microscopy. There is an urgent demand for a highly sensitive and...

Privacy-preserving query has recently received considerable attention in the signal processing and multimedia community. It also is a critical step in wireless sensor network for retrieval of sensitive data. The purposes of privacy-preserving query in both the areas of signal processing and sensor network are the same but the similarity and difference of the adopted technologies are not fully e...
