Background. Knowledge about real-world use of duloxetine and venlafaxine XR to treat depression in the UK is limited. Aims. To identify predictors of duloxetine or venlafaxine XR initiation. Method. Adult depressed patients who initiated duloxetine or venlafaxine XR between January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007 were identified in the UK's General Practice Research Database. Demographic and cli...

PURPOSE To study the effect of different filters on the dose response curves of the Gafchromic XRQA2 film. To measure the kV XVI cone-beam CT (CBCT) surface dose received during 3D and 4D imaging protocols in three body regions (head and neck, chest and pelvis). METHODS GafChromic XR- QA2 film (International Specialty Products, Wayne, NJ) dose response curves were generated for three irradiat...

Since the beginning of the Semantic Web, RDF and SPARQL have become the standard data model and query language to describe resources on the Web. Large amounts of RDF data are now available either as stand-alone datasets or as metadata over semistructured documents, typically XML. The ability to apply RDF annotations over XML data emphasizes the need to represent and query data and metadata simu...

Zusammenfassung Extended-Reality-Technologien (XR-Technologien) haben in den vergangenen Jahren einen erheblichen technologischen Fortschritt erfahren. In der Arbeitswelt wird ihre Implementierung mit zahlreichen Vorteilen, wie z. B. Produktivitätssteigerungen, geringeren Kosten und verbessertem Lernen assoziiert. Dennoch stellt die disruptive XR-Technologie Unternehmen bei vor zahlreiche Herau...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the effects of once-daily extended-release quetiapine fumarate (quetiapine XR) on patient-reported outcomes in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). METHODS This is a report of a pooled analysis from three acute 8-week, randomized, placebocontrolled, fixed-dose (50, 150, 300 mg/day) studies and a 52-week maintenance flexible dose (50-300 mg/day) study of quetiapine XR mo...

Effective management of schizophrenia remains a significant clinical challenge. While antipsychotic medications have proven efficacy in this disease, there remains an opportunity to further improve symptom control and long-term relapse prevention. Also, a number of factors, including tolerability and complex dosing regimens, can result in nonadherence to medication. Quetiapine is an atypical an...

OBJECTIVES To (1) determine the efficacy of venlafaxine XR for the treatment of pain (secondary aim) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) enrolled in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the efficacy of venlafaxine XR for major depressive disorder (MDD) (primary aim); and (2) test the hypothesis that venlafaxine XR would be effective for both neuropathic and nociceptive pain. DESIGN...

The weights are computed for the Bethe vectors of an RSOS type model with periodic boundary conditions obeying Uq[sl(n)] (q = exp(iπ/r)) invariance. They are shown to be highest weight vectors. The q-dimensions of the corresponding irreducible representations are obtained. In the last years considerable progress has been made on the ”quantum symmetry” of integrable quantum chain models as the X...

Consider a Markov process X with finite lifetime ζ. In this paper, we derive sufficient conditions which allow the conditioning of X to an infinite lifetime. This is accomplished by showing the weak convergence, as s → ∞, of the laws of (Xr : r ≤ t | ζ > s).
