OBJECTIVE To examine the association between HIV infection and psychiatric disorders among prisoners, where mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV are disproportionately represented. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Using a sequential randomization scheme, 200 HIV-seropositive and 200 HIV-seronegative prisoners were selected for evaluation of psychiatric illnesses with the Structured...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is the second most important fruit crop worldwide. Tomatoes are a key component in the Mediterranean diet, which is strongly associated with a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases. In this work, we use a combination of mass spectrometry (MS) techniques with negative ion detection, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization linear ion trap quadr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy combined with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and macular laser photocoagulation for the treatment of nontractional diabetic macular edema (DME) refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. METHODS Twenty-eight eyes from 28 subjects who were diagnosed with nontractional DME refractory to three or ...

background tennis elbow (te) is a common myotendinosis. it was first described by runge in 1873; different modes of treatment are used in management of te. objectives this study aimed to report the results of autologous blood injection (abi) in the treatment of te. materials and methods a prospective case study was performed to evaluate the results of abi in the management of te. the level of p...

Functional safety is a key requirement in several application domains which microprocessors are an essential part. A number of redundancy techniques have been developed with the common purpose protecting circuits against single event upset (SEU) faults. In microprocessors, functional may be achieved through multi-core or simultaneous-multi-threading architectures, that broadly classifiable as D...

PURPOSE This study sought to apply a Triple Aim framework to the measurement and evaluation of primary healthcare (PHC) team performance. METHODS Triple Aim components were populated with 10 dimensions derived from survey and health administrative data for 17 Family Health Teams (FHTs) in Ontario, Canada. Bivariate analyses and rankings of sites examined the relationships among dimensions and...

EdgeAI is an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator technology, which capable of delivering improved AI performance at both a lower cost and power level. With the aim implementation in large quantities safety-critical environments, it imperative to understand how single-event effects (SEEs) affect reliability this new family devices propose efficient hardening solutions. Through neut...

The propagation characteristics of a hydrogen-rich gas/air rotating detonation wave (RDW) were investigated for different blockage ratios (BRs). Two chamber (RDC) widths used in combination with RDC exit to obtain BRs. variations the RDW modes and velocities at BRs equivalence (ERs) studied analyzed. experimental results show that four types can be obtained (single wave, single wave/counter-dou...
