PURPOSE To evaluate the difference in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in neonates with and without hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS CBFV of 70 healthy late-preterm and term newborns with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UCH) reaching the threshold of phototherapy requirement was compared with 70 gestational- and postnatal age-matched controls without hyperbilirubinemia. Resistance index (RI), ...

A very rare side-effect of amlodipine is dysguesia. A review of the literature produced only one case. We report a case about a female with essential hypertension on drug treatment with amlodipine developed loss of taste sensation. Condition moderately improved on stoppage of the drug for 25 days. We conclude that amlodipine can cause dysguesia. Here, we describe the clinical presentation and r...

Several global health incidents and evidences show the increasing likelihood of pandemics (large-scale outbreaks infectious disease), which has adversely affected all aspects human lives. It is essential to develop an analytics framework by extracting incorporating knowledge heterogeneous data-sources deliver insights for enhancing preparedness combat pandemic. Specifically, mobility, travel hi...

We study the solid mechanical properties of several thixotropic suspensions as a function of the shear stress history applied during their flow stoppage and their aging in their solid state. We show that their elastic modulus and yield stress depend strongly on the shear stress applied during their solid-liquid transition (i.e., during flow stoppage) while applying the same stress only before o...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Simultaneous irradiation and viewing of 10-120 microm cutaneous blood vessels were performed to investigate the effects of 2-micros 577-nm dye laser pulses. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS A modified scanning laser confocal microscope recorded vessel response to different radiant exposures (J/cm2). Probit analysis determined the 50% probability ("threshold") radian...

[1] Borehole observations from the base of the WestAntarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) reveal the presence of a 10 to 15 m thick accretionary basal ice layer in the upstream area of Kamb Ice Stream (KIS). This ice layer has formed over a time of several thousand years by freeze-on of subglacial water to the ice base and has recorded during this time basal conditions upstream of its current location. Ana...

Visitor management is one way to avoid or mitigate the negative effects of overcrowding in tourism destinations. depends upon a set interventions aimed at guiding visitors and recommending alternatives. Here, we present conceptual framework such using an escalation from information, nudging, pricing, reservation stoppage (INPReS). The are discussed against backdrop changing role destination org...
