background: pneumocystis carinii is one of opportunistic organisms especially in immuno-compromised patients. for years, diagnosis of pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) has relied on microscopic visualization of organism in specimens obtained from the lung either by bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) or by induction of sputum, but failed to provide efficient diagnosis. the aim of this study was to compare ...

presenting the first edition of “GMSOphthalmology Cases – An Open Access Journal” (GMS OC) we take the opportunity to reflect on whether it is worthwhile to found yet another case report journal. As for GMS OCOA, it is the open access quality of publishing that is original and pertinent to case reporting. Compared to subscription journals case reports published via “open access” achieve a wider...

A 2-year experimental cost study of 10 Intensive Psychiatric Community Care (IPCC) programs was conducted at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers in the Northeast. High hospital users were randomly assigned to either IPCC (n = 454) or standard VA care (n = 419) at four neuropsychiatric (NP) and six general medical and surgical (GMS) hospitals. National computerized data were used...

BACKGROUND The WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard is based on data from international optimally nourished breastfed infants from birth to age 5 years. OBJECTIVE To assess the potential effect of its use on weight and growth monitoring of UK children. PARTICIPANTS Full-term members of two population-based UK birth cohorts: the Children in Focus sub-cohort of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parent...

To identify genes associated with genic male sterility (GMS) that could be useful for hybrid breeding in Chinese cabbage (Brassicarapa ssp. pekinensis), floral bud transcriptome analysis was carried out using a B. rapa microarray with 300,000 probes (Br300K). Among 47,548 clones deposited on a Br300K microarray with seven probes of 60 nt length within the 3' 150 bp region, a total of 10,622 gen...

The onset of walking in early childhood results in exposure of the lower limb to substantial forces from weight bearing activity that ultimately contribute to adult bone strength. Relationships between gross motor score (GMS), at 18 months and bone outcomes measured at age 17 years were examined in 2327 participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Higher GMS ind...

This study evaluated the effect of specific postural support on motor behaviour of infants with and without minor neurological dysfunction (MND). The following questions were addressed: (1) Does application of supportive pillows affect the time during which the infant exhibits general movements (GMs) or specific movements? We defined specific movements as movements of specific parts of the body...

General Movements (GMs) assessment is one of the modalities to detect abnormal infant development early, examination preterm very important. Preterm has a long-term health impact and risk neonatal morbidity mortality, need breast milk as best nutritionand also stimulation, which massage. This study aimto analyze massage stimulation effect on general movements in breastfed Dr. Soetomo Hospital S...
