Epidemiologic evidence supports an inverse association between physical activity and postmenopausal breast cancer. Whether associations exist for moderate activities, such as walking, and whether associations differ by estrogen receptor (ER) status, body mass index (BMI, kg/m(2)), adult weight gain, or use of postmenopausal hormones (PMH) is unclear. The relation between time spent sitting and ...

INTRODUCTION Pneumonia is the leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality globally. Introduction of the conjugate Haemophilus influenzae B and multivalent pneumococcal vaccines in developed countries including Australia has significantly reduced the overall burden of bacterial pneumonia. With the availability of molecular diagnostics, viruses are frequently detected in children with pneu...

Current users of postmenopausal hormones (PMH) have approximately 30% to 40% lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), although associations with specific types of hormones have been inconsistent. Further, it is not clear whether some tumor types have a different risk. We conducted a case-control study to examine the relationship between PMH and CRC. Cases (n = 1,004), ages 50 to 74 years, were id...

Chronic high frequency stimulation (HFS) of the posteromedial hypothalamus (PMH) has been the first direct therapeutic application of functional neuroimaging data in a restorative reversible procedure for the treatment of an otherwise refractory neurological condition; in fact, the target coordinates for the stereotactic implantation of the electrodes have been provided by positron emission tom...

OPAL: IN VIVO BASED PRESERVATION FRAMEWORK FOR LOCATING LOST WEB PAGES Terry L. Harrison Old Dominion University, 2005 Director: Dr. Michael L. Nelson We present Opal, a framework for interactively locating missing web pages (http status code 404). Opal is an example of "in vivo" preservation: harnessing the collective behavior of web archives, commercial search engines, and research projects f...

The interoperation of spatial information is an effective way for sharing spatial information, in order to complete any exchanges and integrations of spatial information within and between application systems and organizations. This paper is to apply the metadata interoperability-related research outputs, namely Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), in the field o...

Introduction: This paper aims to examine the (1) level of positive mental health (PMH), (2) identify socio-demographic correlates PMH domains in general population, and (3) establish if employment status moderates relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) among those with a lifetime prevalence MDD. Methods: The Singapore Mental Health Study conducted 2016 2018 included residents aged...

Suicide belongs to the leading causes of death worldwide. The present longitudinal study investigated physical activity (for example jogging, cycling) and positive mental health (PMH) as potential factors that can reduce risk suicide ideation suicidal behavior. Data 223 participants (79.4% women; Mage (SDage)?=?22.85 (4.05)) were assessed at two measurement time points over a three-year period ...

Few prospective studies have examined associations between reproductive factors and risk of renal cell cancer (RCC). The authors prospectively examined whether postmenopausal hormone (PMH) use, oral contraceptive use, parity, and other reproductive factors were associated with RCC risk among 118,219 US women in the Nurses’ Health Study. A total of 247 RCC cases were confirmed between 1976 and 2...
