A collection of Practice Guidelines published in AFP is available at http:// www.aafp.org/afp/ practguide. The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) ranges from 25% in females 14 to 21 years of age to 75% in women 75 years and older, although it may actually be higher than reported because some evidence has shown that one-half or more of women with UI do not tell their physicians about sympto...

OBJECTIVE to determine whether patients' perceptions of improvement following behavioural interventions for urinary incontinence (UI) correspond with physicians' global ratings of change, and to compare both these ratings with more objective UI outcome measures. METHODS consecutive new female patients aged 65 years and older recruited from outpatient UI clinics in Quebec received a behavioura...

the principle of dimensionality reduction with pca is the representation of the dataset ‘x’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ rn  of its covariance matrix. the eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of x in rn carry the most      relevant information of x. these eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. assume that n images in a set are originally represented in mat...

Microsoft® Windows® User Interface (UI) Automation is the new accessibilityframework for Microsoft Windows, which will ultimately replace MSAA, and is intendedto address the needs of assistive technology products and automated testing frameworksby providing programmatic access to information about the user interface.

The advent of Ethereum opened up a pandora box decentralized possibilities. While allowing for the replicated, computation Turing-complete instructions, platforms such as do not offer possibility direct, interactive, real-time processing users’ inputs that could later affect state machine. They cannot directly observe, replicate and authenticate actions performed in while presenting results the...

This paper considers the optimal design of unemployment insurance (UI) within an equilibrium matching framework when wages are determined by strategic bargaining. Unlike the Nash bargaining approach, reducing UI payments with duration is welfare increasing. A co-ordinated policy approach, however, one that chooses job creation subsidies and UI optimally, implies a much greater welfare gain than...

Following the Great Recession, most states’ unemployment insurance (UI) trust funds became insolvent, requiring the states to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to finance benefit payments. This article describes the basics of UI financing and reviews the origins of the financial crisis facing the federal-state UI system. It then examines the main components of the UI payroll tax—the taxable wage ba...

BACKGROUND Specific knowledge of urinary incontinence (UI) and its interrelation with physical and cognitive health is essential to working towards prevention of UI and to improving quality of treatment and care. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between UI and the activities of daily living (ADL) hierarchy scale, the cognitive performance scale (CPS) and comorbid condi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in community-dwelling Korean women 60 years or older, and to identify factors associated with self-reported and medically diagnosed UI. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of data from the 2008 Actual Living Condition of the Elderly and Welfare Need Survey, which used a stratified two-stage cl...
