OBJECTIVE To compare the risk, circumstances, consequences and causes of prospectively recorded falls between people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and healthy controls of similar age and gender. METHODS 58 PwMS and 58 healthy controls, who are community-dwelling, were recruited in this 6-month prospective cohort study. 90% of PwMS and 84% of healthy controls completed the study. Participants...

We study how changes in interest rates affect the borrowing of households and distribution debt within population. In a model household with credit constraints endogenous house prices, we show that less constrained more pre-existing housing wealth increase their most when fall. then use unique loan level data on universe Belgium to document shift over age, older as fell last decade. First-time ...

BACKGROUND Unintentional falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality with a significant burden on victims, families, and societies. We aimed to study the mechanism, risk factors, and outcome of hospitalized patients with fall-related injuries in order to propose preventive measures. METHODS Fall-related injured patients who were admitted to Al Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates (UAE) f...

in recent decades, tourism has been considered as a way to decreasing tensions of urban life. this study tried to determine the effective factors in visitors' willingness to pay for asiab kharabeh fall by using tobit model. data set were obtained by completing questionnaires and interviewing with 125 individuals who visit the fall. according to the results 69.6 percent of visitors were rea...

Frequencies and circumstances of falls were assessed among 1030 middle-aged and elderly people who participated in the NILS-LSA (National Institute for Longevity Sciences, Longitudinal Study of Aging) from November, 1997 to March, 1999 and responded to the questionnaires. The variables analyzed in the present study were demography and history of falls in the past one year. Circumstances of fall...

The semileptonic CP asymmetry in B-B̄ mixing, asl, is measured in proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment. Semileptonic B decays are reconstructed in the inclusive final states D−μþ and D −μþ, where the D− meson decays into theKþπ−π− final state and theD − meson into the D̄0ð→ Kþπ−Þπ− final state. The asymmetry between t...

In this paper we compute the radiation of the massless closed string states due to the non-vanishing coupling to the rolling open string tachyon with co-dimensions larger than 3, and discuss the effect of back reaction to the motion of the rolling tachyon. We find that for small string coupling, the tachyonic matters remain in the late time, but it will completely evaporate away over a string s...

The light quarks inside B mesons are usually treated as spectators and do not affect the decay rates which are assumed to be purely due to b quark decays. In this paper we calculate the non-spectator contributions to inclusive charmless B decays due to the spectator effects. We find that the non-spectator contributions to the branching ratio for B̄ are small (< 2 × 10), but the contributions to ...
