Anaerobic biodegradability and hydrolysis rates of wastewater screenings were determined using the biochemical methane potential test at 37 °C. The extent and rate of screenings conversion to methane of this complex and particulate substrate were investigated and since two stages of hydrolysis were identified, corresponding to the different types of materials in screenings, a linear and non-lin...

background congenital pulmonary lesions may be diagnosed through ultrasonographic screenings or be revealed as causes of respiratory distress in the neonatal period and infancy. less commonly, they are detected as incidental features. objectives our study represents the diversity of congenital pulmonary lesions and their characteristics during an 11-year period in a referral teaching children’s...

C ommunity health screenings provide an opportunity for anyone to receive free or inexpensive health evaluations to help determine their risk of developing a medical condition such as diabetes. A major disadvantage to traditional health screenings is that they provide one-time data for participants but lack continuity of care. The participants are required to independently use the results from ...

Case presentation: Term newborn, appropriate for gestational age, female, normal neonatal screenings, vaginal birth, Apgar ⅞. Diagnosed with congenital syphilis, pulmonary hypertension, convulsive syndrome and altered thyroid-stimulating hormone by maternal levothyroxine use during pregnancy. At maternity, infant presented frequent seizures, receiving levetiracetam phenobarbital, in addition to...

BACKGROUND When evaluating cancer screening it is important to estimate the cumulative risk of false positives from periodic screening. Because the data typically come from studies in which the number of screenings varies by subject, estimation must take into account dropouts. A previous approach to estimate the probability of at least one false positive in n screenings unrealistically assumed ...

BACKGROUND School-based student health screenings identify issues that may affect physical and intellectual development and are an important way to maintain student health. Nonprofit hospitals can provide a unique resource to school districts by assisting in the timely completion of school-based screenings and meet requirements of the Affordable Care Act. This case study describes the collabora...

The objective of this study is to examine the early care trajectories of congenitally deaf children from a parental perspective, starting with universal neonatal hearing screenings. The analysis using a three-dimensional care trajectory concept is aimed at developing a basic typology of postscreening care trajectories. Children with severe/profound hearing loss, registered in the Flanders' (Bel...

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of three breast cancer screening methods using weighted estimation, non-weighted estimation and the exact binomial method. Northeastern women aged 20 to 64 (n = 1,081) were randomly selected with multi-stage sampling. The results indicated that the prevalence of women who had performed Breast Self-Examination (BSE) and women who had regularly...
