Performance of SAPS II and SAPS 3 in Intermediate Care

OBJECTIVE The efficacy and reliability of prognostic scores has been described extensively for intensive care, but their role for predicting mortality in intermediate care patients is uncertain. To provide more information in this field, we have analyzed the performance of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and SAPS 3 in a single center intermediate care unit (ImCU). MATERIALS AN...

Evaluation of Field SAPS

System Performance Variation in SAPS performance is one of the primary concerns that inspired this research. Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 show the performance of the PMAC system as it relates to pH adjustment, total iron removal, and alkalinity generation respectively. The PMAC system demonstrated a consistent ability to treat severely contaminated AMD when maintained properly. It has raised the p...

Plant physiology of the "missing" carbon sink.

Plant physiology is deeply entwined with climate change. On one hand, many plant processes are climate sensitive. Plants are potential victims of climate change, threatened by novel conditions that stress natural ecosystems and tax the creativity of agronomists. On the other, plants are also major regulators of climate. One aspect of this regulation involves the absorption and dissipation of so...

miSSING LINKS: miRNAs and plant development.

The discovery of hundreds of plant micro RNAs (miRNAs) has triggered much speculation about their potential roles in plant development. The search for plant genes involved in miRNA processing has revealed common factors such as DICER, and new molecules, including HEN1. Progress is also being made toward identifying miRNA target genes and understanding the mechanisms of miRNA-mediated gene regul...
