We present here results about the existence of periodic orbits for projected dynamical systems (PDS) under Minty-Browder monotonicity conditions. The results are formulated in the general context of a Hilbert space of arbitrary (finite or infinite) dimension. The existence of periodic orbits for such PDS is deduced by means of nonlinear analysis, using a fixed point approach. It is also shown h...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of personalized decision support (PDS) on metabolic control in people with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The German health insurance fund BKK TAUNUS offers to its insured people with diabetes and cardiovascular disease the possibility to participate in the Diabetiva® program, which includes PDS. Pers...

Some Developing countries are facing severe problems now days which are hindering their speed of development and future prospects, Unrest in citizens or pubic institution due to corruption, less accountability and transparency government process. One of the burning problems is conventional Inefficient Public Distribution System and Ineffective Public Policy Implementation due to absence or inef...

Postpartum depression is common and associated with adverse infant and maternal outcomes (e.g., lower breastfeeding initiation and duration and poor maternal and infant bonding) (1-3). A developmental Healthy People 2020 objective is to decrease the proportion of women delivering a live birth who experience postpartum depressive symptoms (PDS).* To provide a baseline for this objective, CDC sou...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The association between clinical symptoms, gastric emptying, quality of life and sleep disorders in distinct functional dyspepsia (FD) patients has not been studied yet in detail. METHODS We enrolled 79 FD patients (postprandial distress syndrome [PDS], n = 65; epigastric pain syndrome [EPS], n = 47; EPS-PDS overlap, n = 33) and 44 healthy volunteers. Gastric motility was eval...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to define the importance of 5-year coronary artery disease (CAD) progression after successful stenting. BACKGROUND Safety concerns regarding first-generation drug-eluting stents mandate 5-year follow-up studies. However, only limited data exist on the long-term importance of CAD progression relative to late stent-related problems. METHODS This study followed for...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the hypothesis that postural abnormalities might increase energy expenditure during a clinical functional test in frail elderly persons. METHODS Two groups of hospitalized women (aged 73 to 100 years) were recruited. Women who showed postural and gait abnormalities as described in the psychomotor disadaptation syndrome (PDS) were compared with control partic...

I discuss the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the star PDS 144C, in regards to whether it is a member of the PDS 144 system. Looking at the data, I come to the conclusion that it is not a member of the system. Additionally, I perform point spread function (PSF) subtraction on the southern member of the system, PDS 144S, in an attempt to better resolve the disk and determine basic disk pro...
