I n this paper, two novel ultra wideband (UWB) minimized antennas based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structures are designed.

The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) on gastric cancer (GC) are an emerging field. Here, we focused on a cancer-related lncRNA MTM and tried to explore its correlation with the development of GC. The expression of MTM was detected by qRT-PCR in GC cell lines and tissues. The relationship between MTM level and clinicopathological factors was then analyzed. Cell biological assays with overex...

BACKGROUND Medication therapy management (MTM) services among patient populations with a range of disease states have improved adherence rates. However, no published studies have examined the impact of Medicare Part D MTM eligibility on renal transplant recipients' (RTRs) immunosuppressant therapy (IST) adherence. This study's purpose was therefore, to determine the effects of Medicare Part D M...

Multiple-team membership (MTM), defined as simultaneous involvement in multiple teams, is becoming prevalent in organizational practice and may escalate two tensions that are crucial to team performance. However, only a handful studies directly address the effect of MTM and fewer concerned the virtual context. Theories on MTM proposed that its effects would occur and countervail through various...

Antennas on-chip are a particular type of radiating elements valued for their small footprint. They most commonly integrated in circuit boards to electromagnetically interface free space, which is necessary wireless communications. radiate and receive electromagnetic (EM) energy as any conventional antennas, but what distinguishes them miniaturized size. This means they can be inside electronic...

Objective: To convene a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss medication therapy management (MTM) documentation and billing standardization and its interoperability within the health care system. Methods: More than 70 stakeholders from pharmacy, health information systems, insurers/payers, quality, and standard-setting organizations met on October 7–8, 2008, in Bethesda, MD. The American Pha...

Mountaintop mining (MTM) is the primary procedure for surface coal exploration within the central Appalachian region of the eastern United States, and it is known to contaminate streams in local watersheds. In this study, we measured the chemical and isotopic compositions of water samples from MTM-impacted tributaries and streams in the Mud River watershed in West Virginia. We systematically do...

We propose a new class of interacting Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms designed for increasing the efficiency of a modified multiple-try Metropolis (MTM) algorithm. The extension with respect to the existing MCMC literature is twofold. The sampler proposed extends the basic MTM algorithm by allowing different proposal distributions in the multiple-try generation step. We exploit the s...

Little is known about the effectiveness or optimal design of medication therapy management (MTM) programs as mechanisms for improving patient safety, motivating this multicenter trial sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Six hundred subjects at high risk of adverse drug events (ADEs) will be enrolled across three study sites. The study is designed as a randomized control...

OBJECTIVE To implement and evaluate an introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) based on the medication therapy management (MTM) service model. DESIGN Patient Care 2 is an IPPE that introduces third-year pharmacy students to the MTM service model. Students interacted with older adults to identify medication-related problems and develop recommendations using core MTM elements. Course o...
