pharmacotherapeutics are always evolving. Transferring research-based knowledge into practice is an essential element of ensuring that patient care is based on scientific principles. Evaluating research for utilization in clinical practice involves more than simply reading research. The critical review of clinical research relevant to critical care nursing practice is fundamental if we are to p...

conclusions the study results are indicative of the impact of electromagnetic fields on computer users’ health, and it is thus advisable to avoid leaving computers switched on unnecessarily in addition to observing the minimum distance of 60 cm from computer monitors to control the adverse effects of electromagnetic fields. materials and methods electric and magnetic field intensities were meas...

Excludable and congestible shared goods club goods (e.g., internet access facilities) are more prevalent than Samuelsonian public goods. We construct an example to show that the optimal second-best provision level of a club good might exceed its ̄rst-best level. This is unlike the usual presumption with pure public goods. We argue that our ̄nding arises because user charges can be levied on clu...

At the 2010 Editorial Board Meeting during a discussion about encouraging early career scientists to be actively involved with the JGP, Merritt Maduke of Stanford proposed the development of a journal club article, and the idea received wide support. The editors are pleased to announce the launch of The JGP Journal Club and the publication of the first such article, " Lysosomal pH and analysis ...

232 Journal clubs have many functions, including the provision of a forum for developing skills in critical appraisal, an essential part of being a competent clinician. From early on, journal clubs reported their proceedings in academic journals. The Zoological Journal Club of Michigan, for example, regularly reported its activities in the journal Science (see figure 1). Table 1 lists a selecti...

For a simple undirected graph and a given positive integer k, a k-club is a subset of vertices that induces a subgraph of diameter at most k, and the k-club number ω̄k(G) is the cardinality of a largest k-club in G. In this paper we first prove that for given positive integers k and l, k 6= l, the problem of recognizing whether there is a gap between ω̄k and ω̄l is NP -hard. Then we use this resul...

The article proposes a conceptual model to examine the relationships between service attributes, brand associations, customer satisfaction, commitment, price of membership, and intention to repurchase in a fitness club. The results show that the services offered by the club, its security, and the promoted image of the club impact positively on satisfaction. The customer relations at the club, c...

This paper assesses the existence of club convergence across countries by developing a two stage strategy, which employs information on clustering schemes identified by a mapping analysis and estimates a multiple-club spatial convergence model with non linearities and spatial dependence. Because of identification and collinearity problems, we introduce an entropy-based estimation procedure whic...

The report presents the cellular structure of the respiratory system as well as the history of club cells (Clara cells), their ultrastructure, and location in the airways and human organs. The authors discuss the biochemical structure of proteins secreted by these cells and their importance for the integrity and regeneration of the airway epithelium. Their role as progenitor cells for the airwa...

INTRODUCTION There are numerous barriers to the care and support of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) that makes this population particularly vulnerable to attrition from care, poor adherence and virological failure. In 2010, a Teen Club was established in Zomba Central Hospital (ZCH), Malawi, a tertiary referral HIV clinic. Teen Club provides ALHIV on antiretroviral treatment (ART) with dedi...
