OBJECTIVE Previous studies of skeletal remains have suggested that both enthesophytes and osteophytes are manifestations of an underlying bone-forming tendency. A greater prevalence of osteophytes has been observed among individuals with high bone mass (HBM) compared with controls. This study was undertaken to examine the possible interrelationships between bone mass, enthesophytes, and osteoph...

Background: Renewed measles outbreaks in recent years indicate that despite the routine availability of vaccines for a disease is considered contagious, dangerous and deadly, many anti-vaccinationists do not vaccinate their children, which consequently endangers public health.

METHODS The study was carried out in two malaria-endemic rural districts, one where HBM was applied and the other serving as control. In each district, a sample of mothers was surveyed...

We herein propose an algorithm for tracking smooth bifurcations of nonlinear systems with interdependent parameters. The approach is based on a complex formulation the well-known harmonic balance method (HBM). Hill’s used to assess stability computed forced response curves, and minimally extended system built allow parametric continuation detected bifurcation points. feasibility coupling HBM-ba...
