An algorithm for Electrical Power System (EPS) quantum/relativistic security and efficiency computation via perturbative renormalization of the EPS, finding the computation flowcharts, verification and validation is built in this paper. EPS renormalization is performed via virtual thermalization. EPS energy renormalization provides EPS critical load and outlines the EPS fractal landscape. EPS t...

We report the screening and characterization of EPS produced by LAB identified as Leuconostoc kimchii isolated from pulque, a traditional Mexican fermented, non-distilled alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the sap extracted from several (Agave) maguey species. EPS-producing LAB constitutes an abundant bacterial group relative to total LAB present in sap and during fermentation, ...

Background: Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association between indoor fungal growth and respiratory symptoms. However, in only a few studies was fungal exposure actually measured. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurement by enzyme immunoassay of extracellular polysaccharides of Aspergillus and Penicillium species (EPS-Asp/Pen) in house dust as a marker fo...

Background. The Electrophysiologic Study Versus Electrocardiographic Monitoring (ESVEM) study was designed to compare the accuracy of predictions of antiarrhythmic drug efficacy made by electrophysiological study (EPS) with those made by Holter monitoring (HM) combined with exercise testing. The present study describes the baseline characteristics and the response to drug efficacy tests of 486 ...

The differences in the waveform of Cerebral EP (Evoked Potential)s ; SEP, VEP and AEP, among healthy subjects, schizophrenics, manic-depressives and epileptics were investigated. In 585 subjects of both sexes comprising these diagnostic groups, 6 channels of EPs, each 2 channels for each sensory modality, were recorded simultaneously/parallelly from each subject, without assigning a mental task...

OBJECTIVE To assess the amount of documentation and level of assessment provided by attending physicians and nursing staff in regard to extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) experienced by hospitalized patients with varied DSM-IV diagnoses regularly treated with antipsychotic medication. METHOD We examined the medical records of 204 hospitalized patients. All medical records were examined retrospecti...

A major problem in the treatment of schizophrenic patients with current antipsychotic drugs, mainly acting as dopamine-2 receptor antagonists, is the occurrence of side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Meta-analyses of summary data of EPS occurrence, and receptor occupancies inferred from mean plasma concentrations, have shown the incidence of EPS to rise when receptor occupancy i...

An endophytic bacterium was isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Artemisia annua L. The phylogenetic and physiological characterization indicated that the isolate, strain SZ-1, was Bacillus cereus. The endophyte could produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) at 46 mg/L. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydracyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the EPS reached more than 50% at 3-5 mg/mL. The EPS was...

BACKGROUND Evidence-based guidelines on the use of immobilization in the management of common acute soft-tissue knee injuries do not exist. Our objective was to explore the practice patterns of emergency physicians (EPs), sports medicine physicians (SMPs) and orthopedic surgeons (OS) regarding the use of early immobilization in the management of these injuries. METHODS We developed a web-base...
