Uterine rupture (UR), a potentially life-threatening condition for both mother and infant, occurs in <0.1% of all pregnant women and <1% of women attempting vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) (1-4). During 1990-1997, the proportion of vaginal deliveries among women who had previous cesarean sections (CS) in Massachusetts increased 50%, from 22.3% to 33.5% (5). Concern about a correspon...

PURPOSE As endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has increased, secondary ureteral reimplantation (UR) after failure of endoscopic treatment has increased. We studied the clinical feature and efficacy of secondary UR after failure of endoscopic treatment compared with primary UR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one children who had UR for VUR were enrolled. Charts were reviewed re...

Under-reporting (UR) of energy intake (EI) by self-reported dietary methods is well-documented but the methods used to estimate UR in population-based studies commonly assume a sedentary lifestyle. We compared estimated UR using individualised estimates of energy requirements with a population cut-off based on minimum energy needs. UR was estimated for 1551 adults aged 19-64 years enrolled in t...

2 The North-South discussion paper series produced by the Wageningen UR North-South Centre is a working paper series that aims at stimulating debates on overarching development issues related to the Wageningen UR areas of nutrition and health, sustainable agrosystems, a viable environment and processes of social change. The papers introduce fresh insights into existing debates or present new pr...

We show how the supersymmetric KdV equation can be obtained from the self–duality condition on Yang–Mills fields in four dimension associated with the graded Lie algebra OSp(2/1). We also obtain the hierarchy of Susy KdV equations from such a condition. We formulate the Susy KdV hierarchy as a vanishing curvature condition associated with the U(1) group and show how an Abelian self–duality cond...

The mechanisms underlying learning in classical conditioning experiments play a key role in many learning processes of real organisms. This paper presents a novel computational model that incorporates a biologically plausible hypothesis on the functions that the main nuclei of the amygdala might play in first and second order classical conditioning tasks. The model proposes that in these experi...
