Introduction: The validity of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on self-reported height and weight is of critical importance in the proper assessment of studies that rely on questionnaire-derived data. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of adolescent overweight and obesity classification bpased on self-reported height and weight factors and propose a regression model for predicting the true BMI....

S.aureus infection was found to be around 5%-35% and cases of resistance increased by 22.8% due people being less compliant in treatment. One the preventions is return use natural materials, especially plants that have been scientifically empirically proven, one which Mahkota Dewa Fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) Green Meniran Herb (Phyllanthus niruri L.). The study conducted using True Experimental...

Whether fruits and vegetables provide protection from cancer is of considerable public health importance—but it remains an open question. In this issue of the Journal, Hung et al. report findings from two cohort studies: fruit and vegetable intake is associated with a “modest” reduction in risk of noncommunicable (“chronic”) disease (1). This reduction is confined to cardiovascular disease. The...

Given the high costs associated with fruit fly (Tephritidae) invasions, there is a need to better understand and predict risks of future invasions. We assembled global database historical Tephritidae invasions objective identify biological socioeconomic drivers that explain investigate tendencies certain species invade characteristics regions make them more prone Our documented occurrence (pres...

background: splenic cysts are known as rare clinical encounter. classifying into primary (true) and secondary cysts (pseudocysts), true cysts contain cellular epithelial lining and subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts. this study aimed to determine the outcome of treatment in patients with splenic cyst. methods: all patients with splenic cyst who had been treated in department of g...

in order to estimate heritability, heterosis, general and specific combining ability and relationships between them in traits of fruit number per plant, days to the first fruit harvest, yield per plant, average fruit weight and rind thickness, seven local populations of iranian melon (‘tashkandi’, ‘khatouni’, ‘garmak’, ‘aran1’, ‘mirpanji’, ‘suski-e-sabz’ and ‘golpaygan’) were crossed using a co...

Accurate pre-harvest estimation of avocado (Persea americana cv. Haas) yield offers a range of benefits to industry and growers. Currently there is no commercial yield monitor available for avocado tree crops and the manual count method used for yield forecasting can be highly inaccurate. Remote sensing using satellite imagery offers a potential means to achieve accurate pre-harvest yield forec...

Few attempts have been made to understand how spatiotemporal changes in fruit supply influence frugivores in tropical forests. The marked spatiotemporal variation in fruit supply can affect frugivore abundance and distribution, but studies addressing the effects of this variation on primates are scarce. The present study aimed to investigate how the spatiotemporal distribution of fruits influen...
