conclusions early trauma, dissociative experience, and suicide ideation can predict active/passive a/pap and explain the considerable variance of survival index. results structural coefficients showed that the pattern of high scores in active/passive a/pap correlates with the pattern of high scores in early trauma, dissociative experience and suicide ideation. the findings of the study showed t...

background: there is increasing evidence that psychological factors like anxiety and depression can affect ivf/icsi treatment results. objective: this study aimed to clarify the role of women’s anxiety and depression on the outcome of art cycles using intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). materials and methods: this was a prospective pilot study. one hundred six (106) consecutive women unde...

Cumulative risk (CR) models provide some of the most robust findings in the developmental literature, predicting numerous and varied outcomes. Typically, however, these outcomes are predicted one at a time, across different samples, using concurrent designs, longitudinal designs of short duration, or retrospective designs. We predicted that a single CR index, applied within a single sample, wou...

Abstract The Pearson’s $$X^2$$ X 2 statistic and the likelihood ratio $$G^2$$ G are most frequently used for testing independence or homogeneity, in two-way contingency table. These indexes members of a continuous family Power Divergence (PD) statistics...

It is well known that generalized models is attracting the attention of researchers in recent times because of their flexibilities. Particularly, the logistic model has been generalized and applied by many authors while the half logistic distribution has not recieve much attention in term of its generalization. In this paper, we considered a generalized form of half logistic model called type I...

1.1 Figure 1 of Annex A plots data for the 301 PCTs out of the 303 listed in the Department of Health’s document for which figures are available for both axes. The y-axis is the (presumably cumulative) surplus (negative if deficit) by the end of 2004-05, expressed as a percentage of the 2004-05 turnover. The x-axis is the PCT’s target index for the period 2003/6, defined as the (per capita) rat...

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SPORTSDiscus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases to identify articles reporting distal biceps ruptures up to August 2013. We included English-language articles on adult patients with a minimum of 3 cases reporting singleand double...

Treatment of lung cancer had evolved during the last decade with the introduction of new chemotherapeutic regimens and targeted therapies. However, the maximum benefit reached after first-line therapy is limited by the cumulative toxicity of platinum drugs and the subsequent deterioration in performance status in a high percentage of patients who end up receiving not more than one line of treat...

Methods: Two different capsule formulations of these drugs were prepared. Formulation-I contains immediate release uncoated pellets of Rifampicin and Isoniazid. Formulation-IIcontains immediate release pellets of Rifampicin and enteric coated pellets of Isoniazid. These pellets were evaluated for various physicochemical parameters. Enteric coating was mainly done to prevent the release of Isoni...

The effect of cystic fibrosis on caffeine metabolism was studied in young children using the caffeine breath test. Eight children with cystic fibrosis aged 2-6 years and nine age matched controls were studied on a single occasion, and the cumulative percentage of labelled caffeine exhaled as carbon dioxide measured over two hours. This was significantly higher in the patients with cystic fibros...
