BACKGROUND The Chinese term "Hot Qi" is often used by parents to describe symptoms in their children. The current study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of using the Chinese term "Hot Qi" to describe symptoms in children by their parents and the symptomatology of "Hot Qi". METHOD A cross sectional survey by face-to-face interview with a semi-structured questionnaire was carried out ...

This paper examines how hot spots shift by hour of day and day of week. Hot spot analysis is more likely to have a substantial impact on crime patterns if spatiotemporal shifts are incorporated into the crime analysis process. Even in some of the highest crime neighborhoods in Bronx County (NY), not all micro-level geographies (e.g. street segments and property lots) contain substantial (if any...

INTRODUCTION Hot flashes have been postulated to be linked to the development of metabolic disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hot flashes, adipocyte-derived hormones, and insulin resistance in healthy, non-obese postmenopausal women. PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN In this cross-sectional study, a total of 151 women aged 45-60 years were stratified into one of three grou...

Tourism in hot spring areas has been popular in Taiwan recently. However, hot spring resources are limited and scarce, so it is important to use hot spring resources effectively and appropriately, and study hot spring industrial symbiosis and industry chain. Therefore, the study constructs a hot spring industrial park model through ecological viewpoint. PDCA cycle is adopted to install the oper...

With respect to the high incidence of hot flash in postmenopausal women and the controversies regarding its treatment, this double-blind clinical trial was conducted to determine the effects of Pimpinella anisum on hot flashes in these women referring to rural and urban health centers of Qazvin Province in 2009. Seventy-two women with hot flashes were randomly selected according to the predeter...

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) interacts with distinct ligand families linked to the inflammatory response. Studies in animal models suggest that RAGE is upregulated in the inflamed joint and that blockade of the receptor, using a ligand decoy soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE), attenuates joint inflammation and expression of inflammatory and tissue-destructive mediators. In t...

A new analysis method is introduced for investigating whether major flares are clustered in certain fixed regions of the Sun in rigidly-rotating coordinate systems. This method is applied to analysis of major flares of solar cycles 19–23. Northern and southern hemispheres are separately analyzed, and it is found that longitude distributions of flares in the two hemispheres are different. Theref...

conclusions the mean heart rate was higher in participants who were overweight than those with normal weight. results the mean and standard deviation of the heart rate in the hot climatic condition and moderate exercise were 103.84 (3.34) for normal weight subjects and 108.67 (3.27) for overweight subjects. the mean and standard deviation of the heart rate in a very hot climatic condition and l...
