This paper proposes a robust non-linear generalized path-loss propagation model, the Extended Weighted ABG (EWABG), which efficiently allows generating model by combining several available datasets (from measurements campaigns) and other previously proposed state-of-the-art 5G models. The EWABG works integrating individual models into one single in least-squares sense, allowing to extend knowle...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of pulse oximetry (SpO2) on the indications and the number of arterial blood gas (ABG) levels ordered in an adult emergency department (ED). DESIGN A prospective study during a 2-month period in 1993 with a pulse oximeter available and a comparison with the same period in 1992 without the oximeter. SETTING An adult medical ED of a university hospital in...

Purpose Herein we evaluated the effects of platelet concentrate (PC) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) on bone repair using noncritical defects in calvaria rabbits compared them to presence TGF-β1 osteocalcin reparative sites. Methods Five 8.7 mm diameter were created 15 animals. Each defect was treated differently, autograft (ABG), ABG associated with PC (ABG + PC), PPP PPP), isolated PPP, blood ...

In this study, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of aged black garlic (ABG) in rodent models of liver injury. ABG inhibited carbon tetrachloride-induced elevation of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT), which are markers of hepatocellular damage, in SD rats. D-galactosamineinduced hepatocellular damage was also suppressed by ABG treatment. However, ABG does no...

a comparison with the same period in 1992 without the oximeter. Setting: An adult medical ED of a university hospital in France. Patients: All patients who underwent ABG or Sp02 measurements. Interventions: During the prospective study, residents ordered ABG or Sp02 measurements at their discretion. The reasons for their ordering were reviewed by two independent experts who determined whether t...

Arenobufagin (ABG) is a major active component of toad venom, a traditional Chinese medicine used for cancer therapy. However, poor aqueous solubility limits its pharmacological studies in vivo due to administration difficulties. In this study, we aimed to develop a polymeric nanomicelle (PN) system to enhance the solubility of ABG for effective intravenous delivery. ABG-loaded PNs (ABG-PNs) we...

BACKGROUND Patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit often present with acid-base disorders. As the traditional interpretation might be clinically misleading, an alternative approach described by Stewart may allow one to quantify the individual components of acid-base abnormalities and provide an insight into their pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to compare the traditional...

BACKGROUND Atrophic body gastritis (ABG) has never been histologically characterized in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and its prevalence may be substantially different from that previously assessed based on only indirect evidence. OBJECTIVE To detect and characterize the presence of ABG in patients with AITD. METHODS Sixty-two patients with AITD (5 men and 57 women), aged...

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the relationship between individual ossicular erosion and air-bone gap (ABG) among patients with cholesteatoma. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case review. SETTING Tertiary referral center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data from all patients undergoing an initial surgery for cholesteatoma were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the relationships between preopera...
