Abstract Background The introduction of hip fracture standards has led to improvement in outcomes for patients. Other osteoporotic fragility fractures also lead significant morbidity. They are associated with a high risk future fracture. Orthogeriatric Service at model 3 hospital was expanded proactively undertake comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA) patients over 65 non-hip fractures(NHFF) ...

1. The oxidation of p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine by purified placental diamine oxidase was followed by measuring the change in E250 caused by the production of p-dimethylaminomethylbenzaldehyde. 2. The inhibition of this reaction by substrate analogues such as isothiouronium, guanidinium, dimethylsulphonium and trimethylammonium compounds was extensively studied. 3. The type and degree of i...

The potential use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads for control of Aedes triseriatus was tested in the laboratory and the field. Laboratory studies showed that beads present in amounts which persisted throughout a season significantly reduced the emergence of Ae. triseriatus adults by preventing normal eclosion from the pupae. In the field, tree holes containing EPS beads had significantly fe...

The autofluorescence intensity of bacteria and fungal spores was quantified by fluorescence microscopy in order to obtain the information for evaluating fluorescence-based bioaerosol detectors and was comparable to that of some types of polystyrene microspheres (PSMs). Although the intensity for microbes was distributed across a wide range over an order of magnitude in gray scale, it was in the...

Although there has been some controversy surrounding exactly when oxygen was first discovered, it is likely that accolade should go to Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who isolated in 1772, or even a year earlier. Others since then have given the credit for instrumental work leading discovery including Joseph Priestley 1774 and Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier. Oxygen, paramagnetic, diradical gaseous (at room te...
