Background:The utility and efficacy of novel materials in tissue regeneration and antimicrobial therapy are contingent upon the employment of either blood derivatives rich in platelets or platelet-poor-plasma (PPP). This effect is largely mediated by the increased or decreased concentration of platelets in the plasma. The current study aimed t...

By means of the generalized Galilei covariant EM field equations, the EM potentials and EM fields of a charged particle moving with an arbitrary nonuniform velocity v(t) in an inertial frame with substratum flow w are calculated. It is shown that the dynamic EM fields are excitations of the EM ether caused by the motion v(t) — w of the charge relative to the wave carrier with velocity w. Qualit...

The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a very general and popular iterative computational algorithm to find maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data and broadly used to statistical analysis with missing data, because of its stability, flexibility and simplicity. However, it is often criticized that the convergence of the EM algorithm is slow. The various algorithms to accelerat...

This study aims to analyze the impact of parents’ employment status mobility on children’s mobility. In doing so, we applied a two-stage multinomial logistic regression model. this research, refers from informal formal jobs and vice versa. Using data Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) for period 2007 2014, profile workforce was dominated by stayers. The estimation results indicate that only f...

Hormone replacement remains one of the common therapies for menopause-related pain but is associated with risk of orofacial or back pain. Spinal endomorphin-2 (EM-2) is involved in varied pain and its release is steroid-dependent, but whether increasing spinal EM-2 can inhibit thermal hyperalgesia and inflammatory pain in ovariectomized (OVX) female rats, an animal model mimicking menopause, is...

Although erythromelalgia (EM) has been documented in the literature for almost 150 years, it is still poorly understood. To overcome this limitation, we examined the spatial distribution of epidemic EM, and explored the association between temperature fluctuation and epidemic EM outbreaks in China. We searched all peer-reviewed literature on primary epidemic EM outbreaks in China. A two-stage m...

Early mobilization (EM) of ICU patients is a physiologically logical intervention to attenuate critical illness-associated muscle weakness. However, its long-term value remains controversial. We performed a detailed analytical review of the literature using multiple relevant key terms in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of current knowledge on EM in critically ill patients. We found ...

OBJECTIVES This study compared physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and other health indicators between 1381 employed and nonemployed 12th grade girls. METHODS The girls were from 22 high schools in South Carolina (2002-2003); 56% of the girls were African American, and the mean age was 17.7 (0.6) years. Physical activity and sedentary behaviors were measured using the 3-Day Physical Activ...
