The implantation rate of cardiac pacemakers in Northern Ireland rose from 55.8 per million population in 1979 to over 180 per million in 1988, with the emergence of a second pacemaker implantation centre. However, the implantation rate in Northern Ireland remains less than that of many other countries. Over the period complete heart block fell as an indication from 45% to 34% and sinus node dis...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence and type of fluorosis among children from randomly selected villages of Chhattisgarh, and its relationship with fluoride levels in drinking water. METHODS A community based door-to-door survey was conducted in the sampled villages of seven districts of Chhattisgarh state during the year 2013-14. The field case definitions were used for labelling types of flu...

This paper presents research results on the dasymetric mapping method, the methodology adopted and a Dasymetric Population Density Map of the Northeastern Part of Poland. After studying certain published dasymetric mapping methods, a decision was made to start from the binary dasymetric procedure as described by Langdorf and Unwin (1994) in order to eliminate unpopulated regions. The CORINE Lan...

Recently, it has been suggested that the CO line width (FWHM(CO)) is a surrogate for the bulge velocity dispersion (σ) of the host galaxies of high-redshift quasars, and the black hole – bulge (M BH − σ) relation obtained with this assumption departs significantly from the M BH − σ relation in the local universe. In this study, we first present an investigation of the correlation between the CO...

Background Enhanced recovery pathways, also known as fast-track protocols, have been adopted since the early 2000s by various surgical specialties with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing the cost burden of major surgery on the health care system. Objective To review the scientific literature on the origin of enhanced recovery pathways, track the contemporary utilization of su...

A survey was canted oat in two villages near Varanasi covering 2159 subjects. Dental mottling was observed in 24-91 per cent of the subjects but no case of skeletal fluorosis was detected. The prevalence of dental fluorosis was low in children below 5 yr of age but it sharply increased thereafter to a mn*imnm prevalence in the 11 to 15 yr age group. Among individuals beyond that age, there was ...
