We studied the effects of administering exogenous surfactant for the treatment of respiratory distress in premature neonates (born before 37 weeks of gestational age [GA]) and compared the role of different risk factors on the outcome as well as survival rate. All the neonates (242) suffered from moderate to severe respiratory distress, identified by clinical signs, chest X-ray, respiratory dis...

Future NASA Earth observing satellites will carry highprecision instruments capable of producing large amounts of scientific data. The anticipated networking of these instrument-laden satellites into a web-like array of sensors creates significant challenges in the processing, transmission, storage and distribution of data and data products – the essential elements of what we refer to as “Infor...

Electronic prescribing (ePrescribing; eRx) has shown the potential to greatly improve patient safety, care quality and cost effectiveness, but there are numerous challenges to implementation, and adoption has not been widespread. This paper aims to explore the various issues that must be addressed to insure that ePrescribing processes work efficiently and effectively to realize full benefit. Hi...

In talent-intensive jobs, workers’ quality is revealed by their performance. This enhances productivity and earnings, but also increases layoff risk. We show that, if firms compete for talent, they cannot insure workers against this risk, so that the more risk-averse will choose less quality-revealing jobs. lowers expected salaries. Our model predicts public unemployment insurance corrects inef...

Constraints on spin observables coming from discrete symmetries such as P, C, T and identical particles may be divided in two types: 1) classical ones, which insure the invariance of the cross sections under the symmetry operation; 2) non-classical ones, which can only be obtained at the level of amplitudes. Similarly, positivity constraints can be divided into classical and non-classical const...

Background Neonatology has evolved with respect to the needs of premature infants for special care. One of the major problems in premature infants is that their lungs are not developed adequately to fulfill newborns’ needs. There is a broad spectrum of strategies for management of respiratory problems in premature infants. In this study, we aimed to determine the best Strategies against Respira...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is a progressive multisystem neuromuscular disorder. In addition to the skeletal muscle, the myocardium in the DMD/BMD patient is dystrophin deficient which results in a progressive cardiomyopathy. The myopathic myocardium poses significant risk of increased morbidity and mortality at the time of major surgical procedures. Careful ...

In this paper, we give explicit estimates that insure the existence of solutions for first order partial differential operators on compact manifolds, using a viscosity method. In the linear case, an explicit integral formula can be found, using the characteristics curves. The solution is given explicitly on the critical points and the limit cycles of the vector field of the first order term of ...
