Research on suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) has identified many risk factors, but whether these findings generalize to diverse populations remains unclear. We review longitudinal studies on STB risk factors over the past 50 years in the United States and evaluate the methodological practices of sampling and reporting sample characteristics. We found that articles frequently reported parti...

OBJECTIVE (i) To construct hour-specific serum total bilirubin (STB) nomogram in neonates born at =35 weeks of gestation; (ii)To evaluate efficacy of pre-discharge bilirubin measurement in predicting hyperbilirubinemia needing treatment. STUDY DESIGN Diagnostic test performance in a prospective cohort study. SETTING Teaching hospital in Northern India. SUBJECTS Healthy neonates with gesta...

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains and antibiotic resistance of the isolates in raw milk and unpasteurized cheese. Out of 200 samples of raw milk and 50 samples of unpasteurized cheeses, 96 and 24 strains of E. coli were isolated, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detec...

On the continental shelf off coast of South Texas lie a series natural hard-bottom structures (rocky outcrops and relic coral-algal reefs) known as Banks (STB), which provide critical habitat for benthic organisms pelagic fish. The depth banks, persistent nepheloid layer, strong currents have resulted in few studies that quantitative biodiversity data on STB. Using remotely operated vehicle (RO...

to determine the association between polymorphism of ugt1a1 gene and idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia in iranian neonates. fifty neonates with idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia and serum total bilirubin (stb) more that 15mg/dl and 50 neonates with idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia and serum total bilirubin (stb) less than 15mg/dl enrolled in this study. thymine-adenine (ta)  repeats in the promoter region...

We construct a zero curvature formulation, in superspace, for the sTB-B hierarchy which naturally reduces to the zero curvature condition in terms of components, thus solving one of the puzzling features of this model. This analysis, further, suggests a systematic method of constructing higher dimensional representations for the zero curvature condition starting with the fundamental representat...

Adolescent suicide is a major public health concern. Stressing the need for public health-based solutions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified "connectedness" as one means of pursuing this agenda. To advance this effort in suicide prevention with adolescents, (1) consistencies and variation in the literature overtly linking connectedness to suicide thoughts and behaviors (...

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. In this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to STB (PR-1, Bsi, Msr, Per, and Ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘Seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘Fronta...
