background: solid waste management has emerged as an important human and environmental health issue. municipal solid waste workers (mswws) are potentially exposed to a variety of occupational biohazards and safety risks. the aim of this study was to describe health practices and safety measures adopted by workers in the main municipal company in alexandria (egypt) as well as the pattern of the ...

stress-related mucosal damage (srmd) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients due to the gastrointestinal blood loss. prophylaxis of srmd with proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 blockers has gained widespread use in intensive care units. both demonstrated to be effective in reducing clinically significant bleedings, while ppis has shown to exert some anti ...

spectropholornetrie technique is used to evaluate binding of the vanadium(1u) ion to a water solublecaruc[4] arene molecule in aqueous solution. on the basis of the calculated value formation constant at25rc.we found that the eomplexation of this metal on is very favored towards 25, 26, 27, 2stetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetnmulphonalic acid-calix[0]arenegaussian 03 package.

background serum creatinine as a classic marker of renal function has several limitations in the detection of renal dysfunction. objectives this study assessed the validity of serum cystatin c as a marker of renal function in critically ill patients with normal serum creatinine. patients and methods eighty adult patients referred to intensive care units with serum creatinine levels < 1.5 mg/dl ...

We investigate the initial value problem for some energy supercritical semilinear wave equations. We establish local existence in suitable spaces with continuous flow. We also obtain some ill-posedness/weak ill-posedness results. The proof uses the finite speed of propagation and a quantitative study of the associated ODE. It does not require any scaling invariance of the equation.

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) are a common reason for antibiotic overuse worldwide. We previously showed that over 80% of outpatients presenting to a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka with influenza-like illness received antibiotic prescriptions, although almost half were later confirmed to have influenza. The purpose of this qualitative study was to assess Sri Lankan ...

In the full effective potential (EFP) approach, we find that the fact of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) can, with the help of the rigorous convexity of the full EFP, lead to the prediction of the IR confinement of Higgs particles, adding difficulty for the experimental identification of Higgs particles unlike the electroweak gauge bosons. We do not specify the explicit form of the Higgs se...

Abstract It is known that the behavior of Mitchell order substantially changes at level rank-to-rank extenders, as it ceases to be well-founded. While possible partial structure below extenders considered well understood, little about in ill-founded case. The purpose paper make a first step understanding this case, by studying extent which can ill-founded. Our main results are (i) presence exte...
