BACKGROUND To develop a sensitive and specific screening tool for knee and hip osteoarthritis in the general population of elderly people. METHODS The Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Screening Questionnaire (KHOA-SQ) was developed based on previous studies and observed data and sent to 11,002 people aged 60 to 90 years, stratified by age and gender, who were selected by random sampling. Algorithm...

OBJECTIVE Preventive zinc supplementation in the form of tablets or syrup reduces the incidence of diarrhoea and acute lower respiratory tract infections (RTI), but its effect on malaria is inconsistent. When zinc is administered with other micronutrients or foods, its effect is also uncertain. We assessed the effects of different amounts and sources of zinc on the frequency of diarrhoea, malar...

It has been proposed that the elimination of electronic-service quality (e-SQ) gaps holds the key to a better website experience when dealing with organizations on-line. In turn, this leads to increased perceived e-SQ, perceived value, and importantly purchases and repurchases. In this paper a method of measuring e-SQ gaps is proposed. Regression and coefficient analysis are used to analyse dat...

PURPOSE The effect of whole body hyperthermia (WBH) at 41.8-42 degrees C on the cellular immune system is still poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to identify genes that become upregulated in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of cancer patients during a combined treatment with WBH and chemotherapy by generating complex arrays of cDNA. METHODS PBLs were obtained from four patient...

We have studied the effects of low-power-density microwave (MW) radiation (continuous and pulsed wave with average power density of 10 milliwatts/sq cm and range of 5 to 50 milliwatts/sq cm; frequency, 1.0 GHz) on the uptake and action of methotrexate (MTX), the inhibition of DNA synthesis in L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro, and the MTX treatment of mice bearing this leukemia. Using short-...

Wixom and Todd (2005) integrated the user satisfaction and the technology acceptance literatures to theorize about and account for the influence of the information technology artifact on usage. Based on Wixom and Todd’s integrated model of technology usage, we propose the 3Q model by investigating the role of service quality (SQ), in addition to system quality (SysQ) and information quality (IQ...

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are promising materials due to their flexibility, high transmittance, conductivity, and low sheet resistances replace ITO (Indium Thin Oxide) based electrodes. In this work, we studied the Propylene Glycol Glycerol addition in Ethylene solvent form AgNWs with polyol method. was made thin film by spin coating method (with 1 – 3 layers variation) PET substrate at 3000 rpm...
