OBJECTIVES Occupational health service (OHS) for small-scale enterprises (SSEs) is still limited in many countries. Both Japan and the Netherlands have universal OHS systems for all employees. The objective of this survey was to examine the activities of occupational physicians (OPs) in the two countries for SSEs and to investigate their proposals for the improvement of service. METHODS Quest...

Coarse-grained features of macromolecular assemblies are understood via a set of order parameters (OPs) constructed in terms of their all-atom configuration. OPs are shown to be slowly changing in time and capture the large-scale spatial features of macromolecular assemblies. The relationship of these variables to the classic notion of OPs based on symmetry breaking phase transitions is discuss...

conclusions the ops is a good stand-alone pain score and is better than the nrs for defining mild and moderate pain. it may even be used to supplement nrs when it is indicative of mild or moderate pain. patient and methods a total of 1021 paired readings of the ops and nrs of 93 patients who underwent laparotomy and used patient-controlled analgesia were evaluated. acute pain service (aps) pers...

BACKGROUND In 2000, the Dutch Association of Occupational Physicians published a national guideline for the management of employees with mental health problems. OBJECTIVES To examine predictors of adherence to this guideline by Dutch occupational physicians (OPs). METHODS Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour, a questionnaire was developed about self-reported guideline adherence of OPs and ...

Background: Pain scores are used for acute pain management. The assessment of pain by the patient as well as the caregiver can be influenced by a variety of factors. The numeric rating scale (NRS) is widely used due to its easy application. The NRS requires abstract thinking by a patient to assign a score to correctly reflect analgesic needs, and its interpretation is subject to bias. Objective...

conclusions the results indicated that dt increased anti-ops antibodies against the ops-dt compound. the antibody response to ops-dt was greater than that to ops alone. we conclude that ops-dt is an appropriate and acceptable vaccine candidate against salmonellosis. results two weeks after the first vaccination dose, there was no significant difference in the antibody titers of the ops and ops-...

UNLABELLED Porter is a new system for protein secondary structure prediction in three classes. Porter relies on bidirectional recurrent neural networks with shortcut connections, accurate coding of input profiles obtained from multiple sequence alignments, second stage filtering by recurrent neural networks, incorporation of long range information and large-scale ensembles of predictors. Porter...
