The regional incidence rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) were traditionally calculated with the residential population as the denominator. The aim of this study was to estimate the true incidence rate of OHCA and to investigate characteristics of regions with overestimated and underestimated OHCA incidence rates. We used the national OHCA database from 2006 to 2010. The nighttime r...

Latanoprost (PhXA41, Xalatan) and isopropyl unoprostone (UF-021, unoprostone, Rescula) two new prostanoid derivatives, have been shown to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This study was designed to compare the ocular hypotensive effects of latanoprost and unoprostone in cynomologus monkeys with glaucoma and characterizes the prost...

Sequential determinations of glucose outflow and inflow, and rates of gluconeogenesis from alanine, before, during and after insulin-induced hypoglycemia were obtained in relation to alterations in circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, cortisol, and growth hormone in six normal subjects. Insulin decreased the mean (+/-SEM) plasma glucose from 89+/-3 to 39+/-2 mg/dl 25 min after inj...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and patency of self-expanding stents to treat hepatic venous outflow obstruction after orthotopic liver transplantation. To evaluate differences in the response between patients with early obstruction and patients with late obstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 16 patients with hepatic venous outflow obstruction after liver tra...

Three sheep fitted with a ruminal cannula and an abomasal catheter were used to study water kinetics and absorption of VFA infused continuously into the rumen. The effects of changing VFA concentrations in the rumen by shifting VFA infusion rates were investigated in an experiment with a 3 x 3 Latin square design. On experimental days, the animals received the basal infusion rate of VFA (271 mm...

Ten protostellar outflows in the Orion molecular clouds were mapped $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO ${J=6\rightarrow5}$ and $^{12}$CO ${J=7\rightarrow6}$ lines. The maps of these mid-$J$ CO lines have an angular resolution about 10$''$ a typical field size 100$''$. Physical parameters derived, including mass transfer rates, kinetic luminosities, outflow forces. sample was expanded by re-analyzing archival ...

The study was undertaken to assess the effects of foreign debt repayment outflow on securities market Volatility at NSE, Kenya. connection between loan and stocks volatility has not been fully examined, despite being subject financial studies. Regarding how influences market, global empirical research yielded inconsistent conclusions. findings are contradictory, which calls for additional be do...

We characterize mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in a suite FIRE-2 cosmological "zoom-in" simulations from the Feedback Realistic Environments (FIRE) project. analyze low-mass dwarfs, intermediate-mass Milky Way-mass halos, high-redshift massive halos. Consistent with previous work, we find that dwarfs eject about 100 times more gas their interstellar...

In the study, Drainmod model was used to compare measured water table depth fluctuations on the farm with those simulated by the model, also comparison of measured drainage outflow of the farm drains and model simulated was investigated. This study was made in a part of the Irrigation and Drainage Network of ABADAN Date palms. By statistical analysis of the measured and predicted water table de...
