OBJECTIVES This report presents national estimates of the use of non-Federal short-stay hospitals in the United States during 1997. Numbers and rates of discharges, diagnoses, and procedures are shown by age and sex. Discharges are also shown by geographic region of the hospital. Average lengths of stay are presented for all discharges and for selected diagnostic categories by age and by sex. ...

The partitioning of carbon in intact, mature cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) leaves was examined by steady-state (14)CO(2) labeling. Plants were exposed to dark periods of varying lengths, followed by similar illuminated labeling periods. These treatments produced leaves with a range of starch and soluble sugar contents, carbon exchange, and carbon export rates. Export during the illuminated per...

New polyoxadiazole-based supported ionic liquid membranes were designed and elaborated for the first time to be used as a middle- high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell application. The proposed molecular design combined hydroxyl-functionalized sulfonated polyoxadiazole, hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone specific protic liquid, thus allowing elaboration of with remarkable physic...

Understanding genetic characteristics can reveal the genetic diversity in maize and be used to explore evolutionary mechanisms and gene cloning. A high-density linkage map was constructed to determine recombination rates (RRs), segregation distortion regions (SDRs), and recombinant blocks (RBs) in two recombinant inbred line populations (RILs) (B73/By804 and Zong3/87-1) generated by the single ...

BACKGROUND Millions of individuals have used illicit anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), but the long-term cardiovascular associations of these drugs remain incompletely understood. METHODS Using a cross-sectional cohort design, we recruited 140 experienced male weightlifters 34 to 54 years of age, comprising 86 men reporting ≥2 years of cumulative lifetime AAS use and 54 nonusing men. Using ...

We used spike-triggered averaging of rectified electromyographic activity to determine whether corticomotoneuronal (CM) cells produce postspike effects in muscles of both proximal and distal forelimb joints in monkeys performing a reach and prehension task. Two monkeys were trained to perform a self-paced task in which they reached forward from a starting position to retrieve a food reward from...

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the -174 G/C polymorphism in the interleukin-6 gene (IL6) and myocardial infarction (MI) risk. However, the results from the published studies are inconclusive. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether the IL6 -174 G/C polymorphism is associated with MI risk. A meta-analysis based on nine case-control studies was performed to...
