AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether a single-item self-report medication adherence question predicts hospitalisation and death in patients with heart failure. BACKGROUND Poor medication adherence is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Having a simple means of identifying suboptimal medication adherence could help identify at-risk patients for interventions. DESIGN We per...

OBJECTIVE Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of illness and death in Western society. The present study was designed to evaluate the utility of illness perceptions and medication beliefs in predicting secondary preventive behaviour among patients with CHD.

a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determinationof vanadium (iv). the method is based on the catalytic effect of v (iv) on the oxidation of alkali blue bypotassium bromate at ph 4. the rate of decrease in the absorbance of alkali blue (at 572 nm) wasproportional to the concentration of v (iv) in the range of 100-6000 ng ml-1. the detection limit wa...

the late eocene-early oligocene sarnowsar granitic rocks and many dacitic to rhyolitic dykesintruded in metamorphosed and metasomatized shale, sandstone, calcite and dolomite marbles andvolcaniclastic and pyroclastic rocks. as a result several million tons of iron ores formed within carbonaterocks in the sangan area. the sarnowsar granitic rocks are mainly granite to granodiorite, metaluminous,...

BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic condition with substantial morbidity that can now be treated with disease-modifying biologic agents that target tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or related mechanisms.
