Purpose. This study was designed to assess retinal and optic nerve bioelectrical function in patients with unilateral asymptomatic but hemodynamically significant internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). Methods. Forty-two subjects with a diagnosis of unilateral ICAS and 34 controls were analyzed. Full-field electroretinogram (ERG), pattern electroretinogram (PERG), and pattern visual-evoked po...

OBJECTIVES Nursing homes (NHs) provide complex care for individuals with comorbidity who rely on multiple medications. Electronic information system (EIS) may reduce errors in drug dispensing and medical administration records (MAR). This paper tests whether the percentage of occupancy and metropolitan location are associated with the likelihood of using EIS for clinical care support. DESIGN/...

OBJECTIVES Kanamycin is an important second-line drug used to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB). Molecular analysis of the rrs gene seems to be not enough to identify every case of kanamycin resistance. In the present study we evaluated the incidence of eis mutations in kanamycin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. METHODS We analysed 70 MDR M. tuberculosis clinical...

This paper is based on a panel presentation to the first International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). The panel intends to address important issues in EIS from the perspectives of research and industry. It has not only raised questions, concerns and topics related to the research, development and application of information technologies and systems, but also suggested approa...

Abstract: The performance of an Imidazoline based commercial corrosion inhibitor in CO2 corrosion of a gas-well tubing steel was studied by employing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique. Inhibitor performance was investigated by means of its efficiency at various concentration and also its behavior at various exposure time. EIS results showed that inhibitor interaction to...

Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) tec...

Vanillin is an interesting corrosion inhibitor because of its safe use and high solubility inwater. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1.0 Mhydrochloric acid solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques.The effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion in th...

BACKGROUND Early intervention services (EIS) comprise low-stigma, youth-friendly mental health teams for young people undergoing first-episode psychosis (FEP). Engaging with the family of the young person is central to EIS policy and practice.AimsBy analysing carers' accounts of their daily lives and affective challenges during a relative's FEP against the background of wider research into EIS,...

Breast Cancer is among the top five causes of cancer death and the topmost cause among women worldwide. The early diagnosis through simple, non-invasive and inexpensive screening can provide great deal of aids. Multi-frequency Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is quite attractive in this context as the instrumentation is relatively simple and research has demonstrated application in breas...
