conclusions this study showed that the developed rrt-pcr assays are rapid, reliable, reproducible, specific, sensitive, and simple tools for detection of mers-cov. finally, a kit consisting of two assay signatures and controls was assembled, which can be distributed to public health laboratories in iran to support international mers-cov surveillance and public health response. results the upe a...

We analyze the bidding behavior of expectations-based loss-averse bidders in auctions with interdependent values. emphasize difference between risk face over whether they win auction (extensive risk) and value prize conditional on winning (intensive risk). The extensive creates an “attachment” effect, whereas intensive operates via a “comparison” effect. How react to these different risks depen...

Utilizing the nationally representative Demographic and Health Survey dataset from 2016 using difference-in-difference technique, we compare effect of Universal Primary Education (UPE) policy on educational attainment between girls children with disabilities in Uganda. Although UPE is effective bridging gender gaps, observed no significant gaps without poor households, indicating difficulty par...

We conducted a systematic review (SR) of the peer reviewed scientific literature on ultraweak photon emissions (UPE) from humans. The question was: Can ultraweak photon emissions from humans be used as a non-invasive health assessment? A systematic search was conducted across eight relevant databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CINAHL, PSYCHINFO, All of Cochrane EBM databases, GIDEON, DoD Biomedic...

The current healthcare system is hampered by a reductionist approach in which diagnostics and interventions focus on a specific target, resulting in medicines that center on generic, static phenomena while excluding inherent dynamic nature of biological processes, let alone psychosocial parameters. In this essay, we present some limitations of the current healthcare system and introduce the nov...

We reviewed our experience with fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in patients with pleural effusion of unknown origin. Seventy patients underwent FOB for the investigation of pleural effusion between 1978 and 1983. Those with a second reason for FOB, a mass on chest roentgenogram, or lobar atelectasis were excluded. Forty five patients remained: 28 patients with unexplained pleural effusion after p...

This study seeks to examine the influence of mothers’ schooling accomplishments on child mortality outcomes by exploiting the exogenous variability in schooling prompted by the 1997 universal primary education (UPE) policy in Uganda. The UPE policy, which eliminated school fees for all primary school children, provides an ideal setting for investigating the causal effect of the subsequent burst...

This study investigates the effect of water absorption on flexural strength kenaf/ glass/unsaturated polyester (UPE) hybrid composite solid round rods used for insulating material applications. Three volume fractions kenaf/glass fibre 20:80 (KGPE20), 30:70 (KGPE30), and 40:60 (KGPE40) with three different arrangement profiles kenaf fibres were fabricated by using pultrusion technique aimed at s...

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin-A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common chronic glomerulonephritis worldwide. Many clinical and histopathological risk factors for progression have been found previously. Recently, metabolic risk factors, such as hyperuricaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia, also have been associated with the progression of IgAN. METHODS In the present study we correlated clinical and me...
