Barthel Index and Clinical Outcome in Elderly
Objectives: Among the elderly patients who are admitted in emergency departments, there is a sub-population of frail elderly who needs particular attention. The purpose of this study was to explore relationship between Barthel index and clinical outcome in elderly patients aged over 60 during a week follow up after initial admission. Methods & Materials: The method was a prospective cohort s...
متن کاملThe Epidemiologic Characteristics, Clinical Behavior and Outcome of the Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: a Retrospective Single-Center Study
Abstract Objects:Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) isa locally aggressive lesion with unpredictable behavior. Here, we aim to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, clinical and functional outcome of GCTB in a relatively large series of patients. Methods:Patients with the diagnosis of GCTB were included in this retrospective study.Surgical options included extended curettage wh...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality in forest-landscape evolution
A simple cellular automaton replicates the fractal pattern of a natural forest landscape and predicts its evolution. Spatial distributions and temporal fluctuations in global quantities show power-law spectra, implying scale-invariance, characteristic of self-organized criticality. The evolution toward the SOC state and the robustness of that state to perturbations are described. 2002 Elsevie...
متن کاملEvidence for self-organized criticality in evolution
Data of a number of diierent types have been put forward as evidence for self-organized critical behavior in evolution. These include fossil data on extinction rates and taxon lifetimes, evidence of fractal structure in taxonomic trees, and simulation data from experiments on artiicial life. Here we present a new and very simple model of species origination and extinction which, although not cr...
متن کاملGeneric criticality in a model of evolution
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that for a certain model of biological evolution, which is driven by nonextremal dynamics, active and absorbing phases are separated by a critical phase. In this phase both the density of active sites rho(t) and the survival probability of spreading P(t) decay as t(-delta), where delta approximately 0.5. At the critical point that separates the active and ...
