This paper examined the intelligibility of the English mid-low central vowel / / produced by 20 native Japanese speakers (JE / /), and the acoustic characteristics of JE / / according to the different levels of intelligibility. Five native English speakers evaluated the intelligibility of JE / / in the word “but.” F1 and F2 frequencies and the duration of JE / / were measured and compared with ...

Crispian Scully je označio karijeru brojnim djelatnicima Zavoda za oralnu medicinu zagrebačkog Stomatološkog fakulteta i bio je osvjedočeni prijatelj hrvatske oralne medicine. Upoznali smo ga sudjelujući na kongresima European Association of Oral Medicine (EAOM), od 1998. u Göteborgu i 2002. na kongresu u Lisabonu, od kada se intenzivira komunikacija između profesora Scullyja i našeg Zavoda za ...

Otkrićem ABO sustava krvnih grupa 1900. godine austrijski liječnik Karl Landsteiner utemeljio je transfuzijsko liječenje. Radom Yamamota 1990. klonirani su ABO geni, što je omogućilo naprednije strukturne i funkcionalne analize ABO sustava (1). Humani ABO gen smješten je na kromosomu 9 (9q34.1-q34.2). Sadrži 7 eksona i 6 introna koji obuhvaćaju 18 kb genomske DNA. Svaki tip krvne grupe sustava ...

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a major public health problem in India. When the first case was reported in 1955, the disease was restricted to south India. The disease spread to north India in 1978 from where extensive and recurrent outbreaks of JE have been reported ever since. An attempt has been made to review the epidemiology of JE over the past 30 years and suggestions made for i...

OBJECTIVES Tumour necrosis factor inhibition plus methotrexate is believed to inhibit radiographic progression independent of inflammation. This analysis assessed whether these protective effects are exerted on bone (joint erosion; JE) and/or cartilage (joint space narrowing; JSN), and what the independent effects of JE/JSN progression are on longer-term patient-reported outcomes. METHODS PRE...

Samenvatting Inleiding Midden door de Rotterdamse wijk Nesselande loopt een hoogspanningslijn. Wonen in buurt van hoogspanningslijn geeft mogelijk verhoogd risico op leukemie bij kinderen. De GGD heeft rol risicocommunicatie aan inwoners en adviseert gemeente over dit onderwerp. Uit eerder onderzoek is bekend dat mensen risico’s straling hoog inschatten vertrouwen overheid speelt risicopercepti...

In this study the bound state of 2+1 Dirac equation with the cylindrically symmetric δ(r − r0)-potential is presented. It is shown that the energy can be obtained by the transcendental equation obtained from the matching condition in the configuration space. It is surprisingly found that the relation between the radial functions F jE, G + jE and F − jE , G − jE can be established by SO(2) group.

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the most important form of viral encephalitis in Asia. Surveillance for the disease in many countries has been limited. To improve collection of accurate surveillance data in order to increase understanding of the full impact of JE and monitor control programs, World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Standards for JE Surveillance have been developed....

BACKGROUND Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is commonly seen among hospitalized Nepali children. Japanese Encephalitis (JE) accounts for approximately one-quarter of cases. Although poor prognostic features for JE have been identified, and guide management, relatively little is reported on the remaining three-quarters of AES cases. METHODS Children with AES (n = 225) were identified through ...

Dekubitus je lokalizirano oštećenje kože i/ili priležećeg tkiva uobičajeno iznad koštanih izbočina. Rezultat je pritiska ili pritiska u kombinaciji s posmičnim silama, trenjem i vlagom. S obzirom na dugotrajnost i odgođeno cijeljenje dekubitus je kronična rana. Dekubitus nastaje kao posljedica kombinacije mikroembolije, ishemije i mionekroze. Ti patofi ziološki procesi idealna su podloga za umn...
