This paper proposes a new approach to parallel applications development, showing high speed and low labour intensiveness of creating new parallel applications and parallelizing existing ones. The basic principles of the proposed technology are described. The possible ways of implementation of these principles are proposed. Usage of the technology is shown with a sample algorithm. The result of ...

Due to severe itching especially at night and the consequent loss of sleep there might be definite impairment in the efficiency of the labour or the fighting forces. The loss of man power may at times thus be considerable. In times of emergency, due to lack of proper care and attendance the death rate from its complications, e.g. nephritis, may also be high. Besides it is a very distressing con...

The aim of this paper is to review available data about drugs for preventing preterm labour. Tocolytic therapy includes β adrenergic receptor agonists, NO donors, magnesium sulphate, prostaglandin-synthase inhibitors, oxytocin receptor antagonists, calcium-channel blockers, progesterone, 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, and antibiotics. Their specific effects on myometrial contractility, thei...

This study was conducted to reveal the impact of rural-urban migration on broiler production in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. Data were collected from 795 household heads and farmers/managers/supervisors of 25 selected broiler farms in the study area. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis was utilized to analyze the data. Able bodied young men constituted most of the rura...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Oxytocin for labor augmentation is widely used in obstetric care in Western countries. Two recent, smaller studies found opposing results regarding the association between prenatal exposure to oxytocin for labor augmentation and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In Denmark, oxytocin is the medication used for nearly all medical augmentations of labor, and...

The electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used for fetal behaviour surveillance via measurement of fetal heart rate. In the course of labour, fetus can suffer by severe hypoxic insults that might lead to possible adverse long term consequences. The main goal of EFM is to provide indirect information about fetal well-being and help obstetricians to indicate timely intervention to prevent adverse ...

there is an emerging consensus that caring and compassion are under threat in the frenetic environment of modern healthcare. enabling and sustaining compassionate care requires not only a focus on the needs of the patient, but also on those of the care giver. as such, threats and exhortations to health professionals are likely to have limited and perverse effects and it is to the organisational...
