BACKGROUND An important medical concern of the Iraq war is the potential long-term effect of mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, particularly from blast explosions. However, the epidemiology of combat-related mild traumatic brain injury is poorly understood. METHODS We surveyed 2525 U.S. Army infantry soldiers 3 to 4 months after their return from a year-long deployment to Iraq. Valid...

Abstract Background and Aims The revised Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD EPI) equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduced CKD prevalence among Asians, but few studies have evaluated its impact on healthcare utilization. We aimed to evaluate the of 2009-eGFRcr(ASR) [1] 2021-eGFRcr(AS) [2] equations risk hospitalization kidney disease multi-ethnic Asian...

Spectroscopic observations of the fast X-ray transient and superluminal jet source SAX J1819.3-2525 (V4641 Sgr) reveal a best fitting period of Pspect = 2:81678 0:00056 days and a semiamplitude of K2 = 211:0 3:1 km s−1. The optical mass function is f (M) = 2:74 0:12 M . We find a photometric period of Pphoto = 2:81730 0:00001 days using a light curve measured from photographic plates. The folde...

We report on the rapid X-ray variability of the variable star and X-ray transient GM Sgr (SAX J1819.3–2525; XTE J1819–254) as observed on 15 Sept. 1999 by the proportional counter array (PCA) on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). During the first ∼900 seconds of the first RXTE/PCA observation, GM Sgr showed very strong Xray fluctuations by a factor of 4 on time scales of seconds to a...

Abstract In this paper, we study the problem of finding solution system monotone variational inclusion problems recently introduced by Chang et al. (Optimization 70(12):2511–2525, 2020) with constraint a fixed-point set quasipseudocontractive mappings. We propose new iterative method that employs an inertial technique self-adaptive step size for approximating in Hilbert spaces and prove strong-...
