OBJECTIVES To evaluate the changing association between lateral episiotomy and obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASIS) for women with low and high baseline risk of OASIS. DESIGN A population-based register study. SETTING Data gathered from the Finnish Medical Birth Register for the years 2004-2011. PARTICIPANTS All women with spontaneous vaginal or vacuum-assisted singleton births in Finl...

Oasis stability in the lower reaches of the Tarim River was assessed at the landscape scale (including changes in landscape pattern and land use in the oasis) and at the regional scale (including the cold-island effect and NDVI of the oasis) based on the methods of landscape ecology, GIS and Remote Sensing (RS). Thematic Mapping (TM) remote sensing images from 1990, 2000 and 2009 were employed ...

BACKGROUND Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASIS) has been identified as a major preventable risk factor for anal incontinence. OBJECTIVE Aim was to measure national variation in incidence of OASIS by socioeconomic status (SES). METHODS A retrospective population based case-control study using the data derived from the Finnish Medical Birth Register for the years 1991-2010. A total populat...

OASIS is a transcription factor similar to ATF6 that is activated by endoplasmic reticulum stress. In this study we investigated the expression of OASIS in human glioma cell lines and the effect of OASIS knock-down on the ER stress response and cell migration. OASIS mRNA was detected in three distinct glioma cell lines (U373, A172 and U87) and expression levels were increased upon treatment wit...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the independent association of episiotomy with obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) using first a cross-sectional and then a matched pair analysis. DESIGN A matched cohort. SETTING Data was gathered from the Finnish Medical Birth Register from 2004-2011. POPULATION All singleton vaginal births (n = 303,758). METHODS Women resulting matched pairs (n = 63,925) ...

Abstract This document describes a URN (Uniform Resource Name) namespace that is engineered by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) for naming persistent ...

OASIS is a distributed RBAC implementation with many extensions. Sound policy design will permit OASIS to protect the distributed resources whose access privileges it controls. However, through operating in a distributed environment, the underlying OASIS infrastructure is open to a number of potential attacks. This paper identifies three main classes of such attack and introduces techniques to ...
