Guitti Pourdowlat , Abbas Fadaii , Shahram Kahkouee 1 WHAT IS YOUR DIAGNOSIS? A 31 year-old female was admitted to the hospital with an acute episode of cough and hemoptysis, along with low grade fever. She was nonsmoker without any previous history of respiratory symptoms. Laboratory findings showed WBC count 12,200, NEUT: 74%, LYM: 21%, and EOS: 5%. 1 Chronic Respiratory Diseases Research Cen...

Risk analysis methodologies can be useful tools to help decision-makers in dam safety engineering. One of the inputs needed for Quantitative Risk Analysis is an estimate of the probability of failure of the dam under study. Existing dams have been designed using the factor of safety, which is a concept associated with a certain mathematical model of the physical behavior of the dam. In dam engi...

Age-of-dam adjustment factors are used to preadjust birth and weaning weight data for national beef cattle genetic evaluations. Adjustments are used in order to make the means of the different age-of-dam subclasses similar so that a fair comparison of animals can be performed. A review was made of various research studies that have estimated age-of-dam adjustment factors for birth weight and we...

BACKGROUND In recent decades, patient safety has become a high priority health system issue, due to the high potential of occurring adverse events in health facilities. OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to survey patient safety culture in 2 Iranian educational hospitals. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a descriptive, cross-sectional survey, a hospital survey on patient safety culture, was used in tw...

As a departure from traditional situational perspectives, researchers have given increased attention to the dispositional basis of attitudes. Recently, Hepler and Albarracín (2013) introduced a construct that they called "dispositional attitude" and provided validity evidence for a new scale--the Dispositional Attitude Measure (DAM). Although the DAM was introduced as a "new" approach for asses...

Salmonella isolates that lack or overproduce DNA adenine methylase (Dam) elicited a cross-protective immune response to different Salmonella serovars. The protection afforded by the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium Dam vaccine was greater than that elicited in mice that survived a virulent infection. S. enterica serovar Typhimurium Dam mutant strains exhibited enhanced sensitivity to med...

Eight preparations of soluble amyloid and degraded amyloid (DAM) were compared immunologically. Unlike amyloid fibrils, six of eight preparations of DAM proved to be relatively strong immunogens. Antisera to DAM reacted weakly or not at all with normal human serum or extracts of normal tissues, but were specifically reactive with amyloid fibrils or DAM. Comparative studies of DAM'S from eight d...
