OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence, patient-physician communication, treatment and health outcomes associated with urinary incontinence (UI) among the medically complex vulnerable elderly (MCVE) in the United States (US). METHODS Data from the 2006 to 2012 Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) were used. MCVE patients were aged 65+ years with a HOS VE score ≥ 3. UI was reported as a small, b...

Background: Water, sanitation and hygiene have a very important role in public health. Poor sanitation is the cause of water contamination, which causes many types of diseases. The aim of this paper was to present the attributable death and disability adjusted life year (DALYs) of untreated water and insanitary environments from 1990 to 2010 in Iran.   Methods: In the Global Burden of D...

Background: Chronic kidney disease is asymptomatic until its last stages and though it is increasing globally, we are faced with paucity of a population-based model to assess this disease, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and trends of CKD according to a new estimation method.   Methods: Using multiplier method, we est...

Abstract Introduction Patients with low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) frequently complain some sexual dysfunction and sometimes even episodes of bothersome incontinence (UI). Objective We aimed to assess the relationship between UI (as measured ICIQ-UI-SF), disfunction IIEF), in men presenting LUTS at a tertiary-referral centre. Methods In this cross-sectional study, data were retrospectively r...

The results from the small scale application are encouraging. Our model successfully reproduces known behavior of the λ−switch on the basis of molecular level competition and resource constraints, without the need to assume protein-protein interactions between cI2 dimers and cI2 and RNA-polymerase. Even in the context of this well-known sub-system, however, few quantitative experimental results...

The biphenyl-bridged. chiral zirconocene complex rac-2.2' -biphenyl-bis( 3.4-dimethylcyclopentadienyl I zirconium dichloride catalyzes the reaction of 1.6and 1,7 -dienes with excess dibutyl magnesium to bis( butyl-magnesio-methyl '-substituted cycloalkanederivatives. Analogous reactions occur with butyl magnesium chloride and with heteroatom-t.:Ontaining dienes. The preference of 1.6-dienes for...
