OBJECTIVES Although prehospital treatment algorithms have changed over the past years, the prehospital time of multiple trauma patients of some 70 min and the on-scene-treatment time (OST) of some 30 min have not changed since 1993. The aim of this study was to critically assess specific interventions and conditions at the scene in relation to their impact on prehospital rescue intervals. MET...

Abstract This paper summarizes the trends in research about student experiences out-of-school time (OST) countries of Europe. The analysis is based on a review content papers published between 1999 and 2019 36 European countries. OST recognized as an important aspect students’ educational that deserves increased attention. A significant portion students all participate activities either to impr...

Article history: Received 5 December 2006 Revised 21 April 2008 Available online 11 April 2009 A new axiomatic system OST of operational set theory is introduced in which the usual language of set theory is expanded to allow us to talk about (possibly partial) operations applicable both to sets and to operations. OST is equivalent in strength to admissible set theory, and a natural extension of...

BACKGROUND The non-compliant use of opioid substitution treatment (OST) medicines is widespread and well-documented. However, less is known about characteristics of non-compliant OST medicine use and the factors that predict it. The two main goals of this study are to compare characteristics of non-compliant levomethadone, methadone, and buprenorphine use and to explore factors that may differe...

BACKGROUND Repeatability of the oral sugar test (OST) has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that OST glucose, insulin, active (aGLP-1) and total (tGLP-1) glucagon-like peptide 1, and high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin results would be repeatable. ANIMALS Fifty-three horses from a Tennessee research facility (n = 23) and private practice in Missouri (n = 30), including anim...

In experimental animal research body temperature (BT) is measured for the objective determination of an animals' physiological condition. Invasive, probe-based measurements are stressful and can influence experimental outcome. Alternatively BT can be determined touch-free from the emitted heat of the organism at a single spot using infrared thermometers [1]. To get visual confirmation and find ...

Studies using linguistic stimuli have provided little support for explicit memory biases among individuals with social phobia (SP). However, using facial stimuli rated on their criticalness, Lundh and Ost (1996) found that individuals with SP recognized more critical than accepting faces, whereas non-anxious controls tended to show the opposite pattern. Since the publication of Lundh and Ost's ...

The oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex catalyses the N-glycosylation of polypeptides entering the endoplasmic reticulum, a process essential for the productive folding and trafficking of many secretory and membrane proteins. In eukaryotes, the OST typically comprises a homologous catalytic STT3 subunit complexed with several additional components that are usually conserved, and that often ...

The methylation status of O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is associated with the prognosis in gliomas and in other cancers. Recent studies showed that rs16906252, an SNP in the MGMT promoter, is associated with promoter methylation and is a predictor of the overall survival time (OST) and the response to temozolomide (TMZ) treatment. However, these findings haven't been systemati...

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone with subunitsαandβ, and is required for gamete development. Differential glycosylation may produce diglycosylated FSH with higher biological activity, and is suspected to be generated via the action of oligosaccharyltransferase(OST) isoforms. Signal peptide hydrophobicity of α and β maycontribute to selective usage of OST, and hence m...
