We calculate the spectral function A ρ of the ρ meson in nuclear matter. The calculation is performed in the low density approximation , where the in-medium self energy Σ med is completely determined by the vacuum ρ N forward scattering amplitude. This amplitude is derived from a relativistic resonance model. In comparison to previous non-relativistic calculations we find a much weaker momentum...

Random error (misclassification) in exposure measurements usually biases a relative risk, regression coeYcient, or other eVect measure towards the null value (no association). The most important exception is Berkson type error, which causes little or no bias. Berkson type error arises, in particular, due to use of group average exposure in place of individual values. Random error in exposure me...

OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of the association between secondhand tobacco smoke (SHTS) and middle ear disease (MED) in children. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CAB abstracts (through December 2010) and reference lists. STUDY SELECTION Sixty-one epidemiological studies of children assessing the effect of SHTS on outcomes of MED. Articles were reviewed, and t...

The combination of ketamine and xylazine is a widely used anesthetic for laboratory animals. However, due to an abuse problem in Japan, ketamine has been specified as a narcotic since 2007. Instead of using ketamine, Kawai et al. reported an injectable formula with an equivalent effect to the mixture of ketamine and xylazine [11]. The mixture of 0.3 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) medetomidine (Med.),...

Although acute symptoms recurred during treatment in seven of the cases on aspirin, there was no evidence of recrudescence in the phenylbutazone group.

Humans undertake their daily activities in a number of different postures. This paper aims to compare the anatomical distribution of the solar erythemal UV to human legs for standing and sitting postures. The exposure ratios to the legs (ratio of the UV exposure to a particular anatomical site compared to the ambient) have been measured with UV dosimeters for standing and sitting postures of a ...
