Psychotic disorders are among the most complex medical conditions. Longitudinal cohort studies may offer further insight into determinants of functional outcome after a psychotic episode. This paper describes the Psychosis Recent Onset in GRoningen Survey (PROGR-S) that currently contains data on 1076 early-episode patients with psychosis, including symptoms, personality, cognition, life events...

The prevalence of colonization with toxigenic Clostridium difficile among patients with hematological malignancies and/or bone marrow transplant at admission to a 566-bed academic medical care center was 9.3%, and 13.3% of colonized patients developed symptomatic disease during hospitalization. This population may benefit from targeted C. difficile infection control interventions. Infect Contro...

This work focusses on analysing mechanical properties and microscopic assessment into Inconel-718 plates in welded unwelded conditions. Welding was performed by tungsten inert gas welding technique. Two tests such as tensile test hardness were both the types of to compare joint plate. Although Inconel 718 possesses good weldability, strength, ductility, reported lesser than these Unwelded The m...

An idea used in the characterization of even perfect numbers is used, first, to derive new necessary conditions for the existence of an odd perfect number and, second, to show that there are no even 3-perfect numbers of the form 2aM , where M is odd and squarefree and a ≤ 718, besides the six known examples. –In memory of John Selfridge

The effect of microstructural variations on the fracture toughness of Alloy 718 was reviewed. The metallurgical parameters surveyed in this paper included heat treatment, heat-to-heat variations, product-form variations, neutron irradiation and long-term thermal aging. Key microstructural features and operative fracture mechanisms were related to macroscopic fracture toughness properties.
