BACKGROUND Recently, an infant and child feeding index (ICFI) constructed on brief recalls of breastfeeding, feeding frequency and food diversification was assumed to provide long-term prediction about child feeding practices. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the cross-sectional ICFI (CS-ICFI) or longitudinal ICFI (L-ICFI) and child anthropometric indices in down...

cesarean section (cs) is a relatively safe procedure, performed for different maiernal and fetal indications. despite complications of general anesthesia, post-operative infections, and thromboembolic events, cs is being performed with increasing frequency. in this study, we have examined the indications and complications of cs's performed in arash hospital from december 1993 to november 1...

Read all questions carefully. Answer all questions in the space provided. You may use scratch paper to do your work but only answers recorded on the test paper will be graded. Be as concise as possible. Note: the questions on this sample are all questions asked on past midterms, but this sample is longer than an hour test. Also, some of these questions turned out to be not great, so I probably ...

This paper summarizes the results from the engineering effort during Phase I of the ARIES-CS study, covering the different blanket configurations and maintenance schemes that were considered and assessed. The main design parameters are summarized and key issues are discussed including the impact of different physics configurations on the engineering choices. These results will be used as the ba...
