BACKGROUND The Ethiopian epidemic is currently on the wane. However, the situation for infected children is in some ways lagging behind due to low treatment coverage and deficient prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Too few studies have examined HIV infected children presenting to care in low-income countries in general. Considering the presence of local variations in the nature of the ...

BACKGROUND: For a health district to function referral from health centres to district hospitals is critical. In many developing countries referral systems perform well below expectations. Niger is not an exception in this matter. Beyond obvious problems of cost and access this study shows to what extent the behaviour of the health worker in its interaction with the patient can be a barrier of ...

The Penn State University Libraries (University Libraries) is a large academic research library comprising twenty-four locations and thirty campus libraries across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Park main has five with many different departments that often act independently. As an example, in Pattee-Paterno Library, there are four libraries: George Sherry Middlemas Arts Humanities/Social Sci...

Field tennis is a small ball game that requires field and the players need racket with its own string specifications. Like Wilson NXT brand strings on Hyper Hamer 7.5 racket, which has tension when it will receive ball. To find out of strings, necessary to do test. The bounce data was collected at positions 0 7 50 lbs analyzed by performing normality tests, homogeneity hypothesis testing. test ...

Field tennis is a small ball game that requires field and the players need racket with its own string specifications. Like Wilson NXT brand strings on Hyper Hamer 7.5 racket, which has tension when it will receive ball. To find out of strings, necessary to do test. The experiment was carried against Nassau bounce. This research quantitative descriptive in data are analyzed by performing normali...

The suggestion that blockade of the cardiac sympathetic nerves might be helpful in patients with angina pectoris has received some experimental support (Apthorp, Chamberlain, and Hayward, 1964; Hamer et al., 1964). The increased myocardial contractility during exercise is produced by stimulation of beta-adrenergic sympathetic fibres (Ahlquist, 1948) which are specifically blocked by pronethalol...

BETA-ADRENERGIC blocking agents have been used with success in angina pectoris (Alleyne et al, 1963; Hamer et al, 1964; Keelan, 1965); and in various cardiac arrthymias (Besterman and Friedlander, 1965). Snow (1965) administered 10-20 mg. of propranolol (Inderal-I.C.I.) eight-hourly to 45 patients with myocardial infarction and found that the mortality in the treated cases was 16 per cent. comp...

Extending previous work with Lattanzio and Mascia on the scalar (in fluid-dynamical variables) Hamer model for a radiative gas, we show nonlinear orbital asymptotic stability of smallamplitude shock profiles of general systems of coupled hyperbolic–eliptic equations of the type modeling a radiative gas, that is, systems of conservation laws coupled with an elliptic equation for the radiation fl...
