UNLABELLED In this era of medical technology assessment and evidence-based medicine, evaluating new methods to measure physiologic variables is facilitated by standardization of reporting results. It has been proposed that assessing repeatability be followed by assessing agreement with an established technique. If the "limits of agreement" (mean bias +/- 2SD) are not clinically important, then ...

BACKGROUND Infection/reactivation of cytomegalovirus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised transplant patients. It has already been observed in kidney and liver transplantation patients that cytomegalovirus disease is accompanied by significant increases in circulating CD8(+)CD38(+) T lymphocytes. There are no reports that study CD8(+)CD38(+) T lymphocytes to monitor/...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate the relationship between levels of physical activity, fatigue and quality of life (QOL) in women diagnosed with breast cancer. METHODS 215 women between the ages of 40 and 65 years were recruited at a cancer clinic. Physical activity levels were assessed by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), fatigue levels by using the revised Piper scale, an...

Enzymatic hydrolysis of starch from natural sources finds potential application in commercial production of alcoholic beverage and bioethanol. In this study the effect of starch concentration, temperature, time and enzyme concentration were studied and optimized for hydrolysis of cassava (Manihot esculenta) starch powder (of mesh 80/120) into glucose syrup by immobilized (using Polyacrylamide g...

Comparative study of kaolin reinforced hydroxyapatite (KHAp) and pure HAp using different production parameters has been done through traditional experimentation. However, the quantitative effect, optimization reinforcement fabrication have not investigated. Hence, this examines effect reinforcement, compaction pressure sintering temperature on experimental mechanical properties HAp. Taguchi de...

This study explores the performance of micro-textured tools when cutting GH4169 during spray cooling. First, morphologies micro-textures were selected according to simulation and experiments. Secondly, experiments carried out As appropriate for each experiment, regression models force, temperature, or tool wear area established, variance analysis was conducted. The functions obtained from respe...

According to Weibull distribution timing truncation test, considering that it is difficult have a strictly defined complete failure samples in engineering practice, so the life sampling schemes of censored are discussed. Here, we considered random right with different ratios. Compared other studies, this paper not limited explore more theories, but uses SPSS software give specific operation pro...

Activated carbon is loaded with 2 totally different metals: Ce and iron. The catalyst was characterised by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) Fourier rework Infrared (FTIR). discharged conditioner had the best area pore volume of 1100 m2/g 0.3 cm3/g, respectively.AC/Ce/Fe achieved kerosene adsorption performance (75%) though lowest surface 965.7608 0.39 cm3/g due to acidic sites required for sulfur c...
