Recruiting patients to a clinical trial is process with many limitations. First of all, the time-limited and lengthening patient recruitment in time increases risk failure entire study. In addition factor, other factors affect patients. The influence multidirectional one factor can both positively negatively We have considered some within framework our proposed classification. Materials methods...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether foreign-educated nurses (FENs) perceived they were treated equitably in the U.S. workplace during the last period of high international recruitment from 2003 to 2007. BACKGROUND With experts predicting that isolated nursing shortages could return as soon as 2015, it is important to examine the lessons learned during the last period of high international recruitm...

INTRODUCTION The overall geographic distribution of physicians in Canada, including Alberta, is misaligned with the population distribution. Some strategies, such as debt repayment, are currently in practice to increase recruitment and retention of physicians in rural locations. Of the factors influencing choice of practice location, 'spousal influence' is considered to play a significant role ...

This paper examined the relationship between multinational corporations' global management strategies and the resulting international human resource piactices . Four global strategies, which vary in their extent of global integration and local responsiveness, were examined (ethnocentric, regiocentric, polycentric and geocentric) . Data from international human resource professionals in forty-si...

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the international governing body of sports for athletes with disabilities and acts as the International Federation for 12 sports. The IPC supervises and coordinates the Paralympic Summer and Winter Games and other multidisability competitions, such as the World Championships. The IPC also supports the recruitment and development of local, national...

BACKGROUND The way in which maternity care is provided affects perinatal outcomes for pregnant adolescents; including the likelihood of preterm birth. The study purpose was to assess the feasibility of recruiting pregnant adolescents into a randomised controlled trial, in order to inform the design of an adequately powered trial which could test the effect of caseload midwifery on preterm birth...

In bimanual coordination, older and younger adults activate a common cerebral network but the elderly also have additional activation in a secondary network of brain areas to master task performance. It remains unclear whether the functional connectivity within these primary and secondary motor networks differs between the old and the young and whether task difficulty modulates connectivity. We...

This study examined the cerebral functional lateralization, from a phonological perspective, in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing children (TDC). With near infrared spectroscopy, we measured auditory evoked-responses in the temporal areas to phonemic and prosodic contrasts in word contexts. The results of TDC showed stronger left-dominant and right-dominant r...

Recent studies with multiple sclerosis (MS) participants have provided evidence for cortical reorganization. Greater recruitment of task-related areas and additional brain regions are thought to play an adaptive role in the performance of cognitive tasks. In this study, we compared cortical circuitry recruited by MS patients and controls during a selective attention task that requires both focu...
