A ppb-level formaldehyde (H2CO) sensor was developed using a thermoelectrically cooled (TEC), continuous-wave (CW) room temperature interband cascade laser (ICL) emitting at 3.59 μm and a miniature dense pattern multipass gas cell with >50 m optical path length. Performance of the sensor was investigated with two measurement schemes: direct absorption (DAS) and wavelength modulation spectroscop...

We studied the effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in 23 consecutive patients with stable angina pectoris who had a positive dobutamine stress echocardiogram. After EECP, stress-induced wall motion score (WMS) improved by > or =2 grades in 43% of the patients (n = 10); the average improvement was 5.3 +/- 3.8 compared with -0.6 +/- 3.0 in the remaining 13 patients (p = 0.007). Th...

AIM Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is a rare systemic disorder with both autosomal recessive and dominant inheritances. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as O2*-, H2O2 and OH* causes lipid peroxidation (LPO), whereas antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx)) mediate defence against oxidative stress. Excess tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and...

Background: Obesity is one of the health problems which could cause impacts, as well economic and social impacts. Community pharmacists are accessible primary care providers who can play a role in counselling on diet exercise to control weight correcting medication misuse for control. Literature has shown effectiveness management services (WMS) provided by community pharmacists, but percentages...

Introduction: The prevalence of Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is estimated to be 1:100.000 proportion the population. Knowledge clinical and therapy WMS expected improve ability diagnose this disease. In case report, we will present a in tertiary hospital because our findings are rare essential concerning symptomatic treatment visual rehabilitation. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old child prese...

Wechsler Memory Scale-Third edition (WMS-III) performance in 25 mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) litigants who met the criteria for probable malingered neurocognitive dysfunction (MND) was compared with 50 nonmalingering subjects. The base rate for probable MND in the population studied was 27%. Overall, malingerers showed globally depressed memory function. They returned significantly poorer ...

The individual and combined effect of a water mist system (WMS) longitudinal ventilation (LV) on the fire HRR, smoke temperature back-layering (BL) degree were explored in 3 m (width)×2.2 m(height)×30 (length) tunnel model. A series 39 tests has been conducted 6 configurations, varying velocity, volume flow rate nozzles arrangement. When WMS or LV is imposed individually, reduction HRR gets str...

Seasonal distinctiveness in the microphysical and optical properties of columnar and near-surface (in the well mixed region) aerosols, associated with changes in the prevailing synoptic conditions, were delineated based on extensive (spread over 4 years) and collocated measurements at the tropical coastal location, Trivandrum (8.55 N; 76.97 E, 3 m a.m.s.l.), and the results were summarized in P...
