Objective This study evaluated the reproducibility of the three main classifications of ankle fractures most commonly used in emergency clinical practice: Lauge-Hansen, Danis-Weber, and AO-OTA. The secondary objective was to assess whether the level of professional experience influenced the interobserver agreement for the classification of this pathology. Methods The study included 83 digitiz...

Large-conductance, voltage- and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels display near linear current-voltage (I-V) plots for voltages between -100 and +100 mV, with an increasing sublinearity for more positive potentials. As is the case for many types of channels, BK channels are blocked at positive potentials by intracellular Ca(2+) and Mg(2+). This fast block progressively reduces single-channel c...

We would like to thank J.E. Hansen for his detailed response to our recently published analysis regarding prevalence of bronchoreversibility in subjects enrolled in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial [1]. J.E. Hansen raises a concern that the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) definition of bronchoreversibility is too restrictive in that it requires both an a...

the x-ray charge density analysis of a hydroxynaphthoquinnne derivative was obtained by multipolar hansen-coppens formalism refinement through high resolution x-ray diffraction data at 100(1) k. the molecularproperties of the title compound resulted from the combined experimental and the quantum theory of atoms inmolecules (qtaim) studies. the topological properties of the covalent bonds and of...

The Hansen-Patrick method is a third-order iterative used to solve nonlinear equation. requires three evaluation of functions and has an efficiency index 31/3 » 1,4224. This study discusses modification the using second order Taylor series. derivative reduced hyperbolic function with one parameter h. aim improve convergence Hansen-Patrick’s method. Based on analysis, fourth-order envolve functi...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of starters and storage temperature (4 ºc, 25 ºc) onmicrobiological and physicochemical properties, volatile compounds and sensory evaluation of kefir.kefirs produced by kfa and chr. hansen starters were stored at 4 ºc and 25 ºc for 40 days. ph andacidity at 4 ºc did not change (p ≥ 0.05), while at 25 ºc ph and total solid decreased as well a...
