OBJECTIVE To examine the measurement properties of the tele-phone administration of the Wheelchair Outcome Measure (WhOM). SUBJECTS Power mobility device users aged 50-89 years. METHODS Two independent cohorts were recruited: (i) a prospective cohort (n = 40) to estimate test-retest reliability and to determine the applicability of the telephone format, and (ii) a cross-sectional cohort to ...

We investigate the photoproduction of dielectrons in peripheral collisions $_{44}^{96}\mathrm{Ru}+_{44}^{96}\mathrm{Ru}$ and $_{40}^{96}\mathrm{Zr}+_{40}^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$ at 200 GeV. With charge mass density distributions given by calculation functional theory, we calculate spectra transverse momentum, invariant mass, azimuthal angle for 40--80% centrality. The ratios these $\mathrm{Ru}+\mathrm...

Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is formed endogenously by the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O(2)(-)). To examine the hypothesis that OONO(-) cause renal vasodilation at low concentrations but cause vasoconstriction at higher concentrations, we examined renal responses to intra-arterial infusion of incremental doses of OONO(-) (10, 20, and 40 microg.kg(-1).min(-1); 45 min each) in anesth...
