Composite quantum compounds (CQC) are classic example of materials which host more than one apparently distinct phenomenon in physics. Magnetism, topological superconductivity, Rashba physics etc. few such ubiquitously observed several functional and can co-exist CQCs. In this letter, we use {\it ab-initio} calculations to predict the co-existence two incompatible phenomena, namely topologicall...

  Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the screening performance of a new modified liquid-based cytology method (Liquiprep™) with conventional PAP smear (CP) in a low risk population, using colposcopy followed by histology as “gold standard”. Patients and Methods:  This cross-sectional study was performed on random referred specimens to a general gynecological clinic...

BACKGROUND This paper investigates gender differences in persistence of intimate partner violence (IPV), for those remaining or leaving an abusive relationship. We followed a sample of males and females to examine whether leaving an abusive partner may alter the continuity of victimization. METHODS Data were taken from the 21 and 30-year follow-ups of the Mater Hospital and University of Quee...

CONTEXT Uncertainty exists regarding the effect of sustained sweating on sweat mineral-element composition. PURPOSE To determine the effect of multiple hours of exercise-heat stress on sweat mineral concentrations. METHODS Seven heat-acclimated subjects (6 males, 1 female) completed 5 x 60 min of treadmill exercise (1.56 m/s, 2% grade) with 20 min rest between exercise periods in 2 weather ...

BACKGROUND This study used longitudinal data to examine the extent to which young people with depression in mid adolescence (ages 14-16) were at increased risk of adverse psychosocial outcomes in later adolescence and young adulthood (ages 16-21). METHODS Data were gathered during a 21-year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 1265 children. Measures included assessments of DSM-III-R major...

BACKGROUND Prospective access flow measurement is the preferred method for vascular access surveillance in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We studied the effect of intradialytic change in blood pressure and ultrafiltration volume on the variation in access flow measured by ultrasound dilution. METHODS Access flow was measured 30 minutes, 120 minutes, and 240 minutes after the start of HD by ultra...

Chloral hydrate has been found in our drinking water supplies at levels up to 5 micrograms/1. The purpose of this study was to evalute the acute and subchronic toxicology of chloral hydrate in the random-bred CD-1 mouse, to provide data for risk assessment. The acute oral LD50 of this compound was 1442 and 1265 mg/kg in male and female mice, respectively. Acute toxicity appeared to be related t...
