OBJECTIVES To assess medical care and costs of the 3 highest prevalence lumbar disorders-non-specific low back pain (nLBP), intervertebral disc disorder (IDD) and spinal stenosis (SS)-from national billing data to provide basic information for standards of appropriate management. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of National Health Insurance National Patient Sample data provided by the Korean Hea...

Overview: In the United States, it is estimated the prevalence of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) for children is between three to four percent (Emerson, 2012). Although a considerable number of intervention approaches have been developed for individuals with IDD, it is likely that children with IDD require a unique approach. One promising and strongly supported intervention a...

Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) has been documented since around 5,000 years. However, geological factors like frequent glaciations, flooding, and changing of course of rivers has led to iodine deficiency in soil. As a result everyone remains at risk of IDD, if optimum intake of iodine is not sustained. Evolution of the IDD control program in India has been a dynamic process. The model of IDD...

As per information available, more than 1.5 billion population of the world are at the risk of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) out of which, it is estimated that about 200 million people are in our country. The survey conducted by the Central and State Health Directorates. Indian Council of Medical Research and Medical Institutes have clearly demonstrated that not even a single State/UT is fr...

In this paper, we consider the problem of iterative detection and decoding (IDD) for multi-antenna systems using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The proposed IDD system consists of a soft-input soft-output parallel interference (PIC) cancellation scheme with linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receive filters and two novel belief propagation (BP) decoding algorithms. The proposed BP ...

People with disabilities still find it extremely difficult to fully participate in society despite the international community’s strong commitment inclusive and sustainable development. Through lens of service science, we aim frame concept inclusion as a value-co-creation among actors system supporting well-being people intellectual developmental (IDD). Based on service-dominant logic, establis...

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability in the elderly. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) was considered as the main cause for LBP. Degeneration of cartilaginous endplate was a crucial harmful factor during the initiation and development of IDD. Oxidative stress was implicated in IDD. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for the degeneration of cartilaginous endplate ...

In this paper, integral plus double derivative (IDD) in coordination with Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS) is applied for the first time in automatic generation control (AGC) system. Comparative studies on the performance of different classical controllers viz. integral (I), proportional plus integral (PI), proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) and integral plus double deriv...

In this paper, the issue of designing an iterative detection and decoding (IDD) aided receiver relying on the lowcomplexity probabilistic data association (PDA) method, is addressed for turbo-coded multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) systems using general M -ary modulations. We demonstrate that the classic candidate-search aided bit-based extrinsic loglikelihood ratio (LLR) calculation method...

INTRODUCTION Evidence-based fall prevention (EBFP) programs significantly decrease fall risk, falls, and fall-related injuries in community-dwelling older adults. To date, EBFP programs are only validated for use among people with normal cognition and, therefore, are not evidence-based for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disorders (IDD) such as Alzheimer's disease and related deme...
