We studied prospectively the change over ten years in mortality, walking ability and place of residence after a hip fracture in 753 patients in Japan. We compared the deaths observed in these patients with those expected in the general population, matched for age, gender and calender year at the time of fracture. The survival rate decreased dramatically for two years after the event and the mor...

graph 5100, Micromeritics) and the specific surface area was measured by nitrogen adsorption, the BET-method (ASAP 2000, Micromeritics). The particle size distribution (PSD), a narrow or broad distribution, was determined by using the equation: PSD slope=[75% (ESD)-25% (ESD)]/2.APS, where ESD means equivalent spherical diameter and APS means average particle size. Oil absorption, packing index,...

A comparative analysis of a magnesium-zinc stabilizer based on pentaerythritol and standard calcium-zinc stearic acid was carried out. The influence the ratio magnesium (PenMg) to zinc (PenZn) thermal thermo-mechanical stability polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is considered.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a heart health diary to promote self-care ability among patients with heart failure (HF), and to identify the diary's effect on self-care adherence, self-efficacy, and physical activity. METHODS A randomized control-group pretestposttest design was adopted using block randomization. A calender-typed health diary was developed and it included a ...
