Falls are a major health concern for elderly people and cause substantial health care costs. The authors used meta-analytic findings on the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions to determine cost-effectiveness of a proposed Medicare fall prevention program for people who experience a recent fall. Using published clinical trial data, the authors constructed a population-based economic m...

The relationship between dip area (DA) of fetal heart rate (FHR) and the acid base status of fetus and mother during the first and second stage of labor were studied on 39 women at term. The observations reveal a significant correlation between the fall in fetal base excess (BE) and the measured DA: deltaBE = 0.01 - 0.143 DA (2alpha less than 0.01). There is no difference in the correlation of ...

introduction: glucose, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl-c), triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein (hdl-c) are the related biochemical factors to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. the present study aimed to assess the seasonal changes in serum levels of these factors in healthy individuals. materials and methods: in the present applied study, demographic information and written...

We numerically investigate quantum diffusion of an electron in a model of poly(dG)poly(dC) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA polymers with fluctuation of the parameters due to the impact of colored noise. The randomness is introduced by fluctuations of distance between two consecutive bases along the stacked base pairs. We demonstrate that in the model the decay time of the correlation can control the ...

The BPS (http://bps.rutgers.edu) is a database of RNA base-pair structures, higher-order base interactions and isosteric pairs (base pairs with similar shape). The main functions of the BPS are to find and annotate the structural and chemical features of the Watson-Crick and non-Watson-Crick (noncanonical) base pairs in high-resolution RNA structures, and to provide a user-friendly interface to...

For a more accurate reservoir prediction of braided delta front, the method High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy was adopted in Moxizhuang Oil Field with assistance Comprehensive Prediction Error Filter Analysis. J 1s2 divided into 2 fifth-order base-level cycles, 5 sixth-order turnaround surfaces rise to fall, and time-equal correlation shallow front achieved. Through study microfacies frame,...

 Background: The phenomenon of dust is a serious environmental problem in dry and semi dry regions. It has a destructive effect for the residents of such regions. Over two-thirds of Iran is in areas of dry and semi-dry climate conditions. Methods: In this research, dust fall measurements were taken in 41 stations across Yazd city using a marble dust collector (MDCO) located in diffe...

Abstract The extreme Mediterranean sea-level drop during the Messinian salinity crisis has been known for >50 years, but its amplitude and duration remain a challenge. Here we estimate by restoring topography of Nile canyon vertical position coastline unloading post-Messinian sediment accounting flexural isostasy compaction. We original depth geomorphological base level River at ~600 m below...
