Design: This study included 23 296 healthy, postmenopausal women aged 50–79 years enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative hormone replacement therapy (HRT) trial and for whom baseline and 1-year data on urinary incontinence (defined as self-reported involuntary urine leakage of any amount in the past year) were available. Women were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or HRT in the fo...

We study how economic growth is affected by demographics in an OLG model with a realistic survival law. Individuals optimally chose the dates at which they leave school to work and at which they retire. Endogenous growth arises thanks to the accumulation of generation-specific human capital. Favorable shifts in the survival probabilities induce longer schooling and later retirement but have an ...

We analyzed the relationship between host gene polymorphisms and responses in recipients of inactivated influenza vaccine, who were classified into poor, normal, or adverse response groups. The frequency of the mannose-binding lectin-2 codon 54 allele was significantly different among the 3 types of responders, with a decreased odds ratio for the development of poor or adverse responses (P=.033...

The present paper uses the software Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) to design and analyze a non-autonomous power system which includes a grid connected solar photovoltaic (PV) based power system with battery storage to supply a residential load located near Siliguri, WestBengal (with latitude and longitude of 26 072’N and 88 041’E respectively). For optimal system desi...

Results . Some form of incontinence (UI or FI or both) was found in 41% of subjects, isolated UI in 34%, double incontinence (DI) in 12%, and isolated FI in 4%. Having UI increased the risk of also having FI ( p .0001). Serum B 12 levels of 300 pg/ml or less were not predictive of isolated UI or isolated FI. However, in logistic regression, DI was predicted by B 12 (odds ratio [OR] 2.113, p .00...
