Is there a need to study behavioral and psychological signs and symptoms of dementia across cultures? Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) include disorders of behavior, mood, thought content and perception (Foli and Shah, 2000). They cause distress to patients, relatives and carers, result in institutional care and long-term hospitalization, and lead to physical restraint a...

Economists have for some time been aware that human beings reap financial benefits from marriage. Even after controlling for other factors, married individuals earn higher wages than single people (e.g. Chun and Lee (2001), Daniel (1995), Loh (1996), Reed and Harford (1989). There are gains, too, from economies of scale and specialisation within the family (Becker 1981). Yet economists are prob...

In the past decade, there have been some studies about control methods with the purpose of either reducing “bad” chaos or introducing “good” chaos [Chen & Dong, 1998]. Due to its great potential in nontraditional applications such as those found within the context of physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, optical, and particularly, biological and medical systems [Chen et al., 2001; Schiff ...

Levels of procalcitonin (PCT) are elevated in many conditions leading to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), as following bacterial infection (Assicot et al., 1993), pancreatitis (Rau et al., 1997), burns (Nylen et al., 1992) or polytrauma (Mimoz et al., 1998). However, the presence of PCT in cerebrospinal fluid is less well examined. A few studies focused on meningitis, where PCT i...

The success of assisted reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, is still less than satisfactory. Many couples have benefited from this treatment; many have also been left frustrated following multiple failed attempts (Bulent Urman et al. 2005).

Dengue viruses, like many RNA viruses are highly mutagenic, which have a potential to generate approximately one nucleotide mutation per round of genome replication (Domingo, Escarmis et al. 1996). The extent of genetic diversity differs among the sylvatic/urban cycles, chronologically isolates, serotypes and genotypes of Dengue viruses. All four serotypes of Dengue viruses (DENV-1 to DENV-4) e...
