OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the association of smoking status as a risk factor for reduced initiation and duration of breastfeeding. METHODS: The Missouri Pregnancy Related Assessment and Monitoring System collected a stratified sample of new mothers in 2005. Surveys were mailed, with telephone follow-up, and completed within 2 to 12 months after delivery. Respondents were classified as n...

We propose a new and highly model-independent test of cosmic acceleration by comparing observations of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale at low and intermediate redshifts: we derive a new inequality relating BAO observables at two distinct redshifts, which must be satisfied for any reasonable homogeneous non-accelerating model, but is violated by models similar to cold dark matter, du...

We use ab-initio Quantum Mechanics to study the zero temperature phase diagram of BaO. We calculate zero temperature Equations of State of different crystalline phases [B1 (NaCl), B8(NiAs), B2(CsCl), and distorted B2] using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We find the B1 structure to be the thermodynamically stable one at zero pressure; followed...

In 2004, Tzeng, Yang and Hwang proposed a nonrepudiable threshold multi-proxy multi-signature scheme with shared verification. However, Bao, Cao and Wang pointed out that Tzeng et al.’s scheme cannot resist frame attacks and therefore presented an improved version. In this paper, we will show that there is another security flaw existing in both Tzeng et al.’s scheme and Bao et al.’s scheme.

To the Editor: We read the recent article by Lindsberg and Mattle1 about treatment in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) with great interest. Their conclusion about IV thrombolysis probably being similarly effective as intra-arterial application provoked the expected controversial debate by colleagues from different stroke centers.2–8 Nevertheless, many patients with BAO are admitted to community h...

Objective: We report a rare case of endovascular treatment for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) approached via the aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Case Presentation: A 66-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation was admitted for nausea and vomiting. She was progressively losing consciousness. At admission, her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 38. Magnetic...
