background: the clinical course of multiple sclerosis (ms) evolves over many years. its prognosis is highly variable among affected individuals, i.e. while some suffer from early severe disabilities, others remain ambulatory and functional for many years. we used multiple sclerosis severity score (msss) and the new classification for ms severity herbert et al. introduced in 2006 according to ms...

A deep learning surrogate model is developed to rapidly predict the wrinkling patterns of a biaxial non-crimp fabric (NCF) layup for any given tool geometry during forming. The underlying dataset finite element simulations used investigate effect on severity. trained able make reliable predictions at very low computational cost, suitable design optimisation. Results indicate that certain geomet...

introduction: more than 50 scoring systems have been published for classification of trauma patients in the field, emergency room, and intensive care settings, so far. the present study aimed to compare the ability of trauma injury severity score (triss) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (apache) iii in predicting mortality of intensive care unit (icu) admitted trauma patients....

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the species of Candida that are important for the development of atrophic glossitis in xerostomia patients. METHODS A total of 231 patients with subjective dry mouth were enrolled in the present study. Logistic regression analysis was performed to clarify the contribution of each Candida species and other variables to the development of atro...

in schizophrenia, neurocognitive functions are one to two standard deviations below the normal controls and these deficits have a significant relationship with overall functioning and poor outcome. according to this fact, it is important to investigate the factors that effect neurocognition in schizophrenic patients. this study was carried out to demonstrate the relationship between attention/v...

One of the methods for making prototypes is incremental forming process. In this method, the forming tool, performs a pre-programmed movement by the CNC machine and runs the desired path. This modernization process is used in the automotive, aerospace, military, medical and other industries. One of the most influential parameters in this process is forming tool. This parameter is effective in f...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of calcium and probiotics on the incidence and duration of acute diarrhea and acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in low-socioeconomic communities of Jakarta, Indonesia. METHODS We conducted a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 494 healthy children aged 1 to 6 years who received low-lactose milk with low calcium content (LC; ∼50 mg/d...

BACKGROUND As many neglected tropical diseases are co-endemic and have common risk factors, integrated control can efficiently reduce disease burden and relieve resource-strained public health budgets. Diarrheal diseases and dengue fever are major global health problems sharing common risk factors in water storage containers. Where provision of clean water is inadequate, water storage is crucia...

the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of individual and co-inoculation of trichoderma species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) on growth, mycorrhization, population of trichoderma, and wilt disease severity in pigeon pea (cajanus cajan l millsp). three species of trichoderma, namely, t. harzianum (th), t. virens (tr), and t. viride (tv) and consortium of amf (myc; mixture...

formability of automotive friction stir welded twb (tailor welded blank) sheets isnumerically investigated in biaxial stretching based on hemispherical dome stretch (hds) test infour automotive sheets of aluminum alloy 6111-t4, 5083-h18, 5083-o and dp590 steel, havingdifferent thicknesses. the effects of the weld zone modeling and the thickness ratio on formabilityare evaluated. in order to car...
