Although routine Fe supplementation in pregnancy is a common practice, its clinical benefits or risks are uncertain. Children born to mothers in the Fe group in a trial of Fe supplementation in pregnancy have been found to have a significantly higher risk of abnormal behaviour at 4 years of age than those born to mothers in the placebo group. The objective of the present study therefore was to ...

The incidence of certain neonatal complications associated with the use of Kielland's forceps was analyzed retrospectively in liveborn singleton babies delivered at this hospital between January and December 1976. The neonatal mortality rate attributable to use of the forceps was 34.9 per 1000. The incidences of delayed onset of respiration (17.4%), birth trauma (15.1%), and abnormal neurologic...

There are two cruxes of issues identified in differentiated services (diffserv) networks: One is TCP dynamics over Assured Services, and the other is the interaction of TCP and UDP flows for Assured Forwarding Per Hop Behavior (PHB). Therefore, we argue unfair distribution of excess bandwidth in an over-provisioned networks as well as unfair degradation in an under-provisioned network for TCP a...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

in order to assess the efficacy of hysteroscopic endometrial ablation and factors which are important in it's success, a prospective, randomized study was performed in shiraz university hospitals between sep. 1995 to feb. 1998. 50 patients with chief complaints of menorrhagia that were in reproductive age (25- 50 years) and had shown no response to medication and d&c; underwent endometrial...

Abstract Abnormal behaviour can be an indicator for a medical condition in older adults. Our novel unsupervised statistical concept drift detection approach uses variational autoencoders estimating the parameters hypothesis test abnormal days. As feature, Kullback–Leibler divergence of activity probability maps derived from power and motion sensors were used. We showed general feasibility (min....

In a paper in this issue, Rief et al. [1] present a new scale for assessing illness behaviour. The Scale of the Assessment of Illness Behaviour (SAIB) comprises five dimensions: verification of diagnosis, expression of symptoms, medication reliance, illness consequences and bodily scanning. The initial validation of the scale has been completed through comparison of patients presenting with une...

Gene expression centered gene regulatory networks studies can provide insight into the dynamics of pathway activities that depend on changes in their environmental conditions. Thus we propose a new pathway analysis approach to detect differentially behaving pathways in abnormal conditions based on G-network theory. Using this approach gene regulatory network model parameters are estimated from ...

Depression is one of the most common mental disorder that could negatively affects individuals’ feeling, cognition and behaviour. From cognitive modal depression, people who have a biased thinking mode tend to produce negative feeling about self, world, their future (Beck, Aaron T, 2008). Compared normality, ‘abnormal’ different way interpreting things. This results from abnormal brain function...
