conclusions nearly one-third (27.5%) of our cohort developed nephrotoxicity within the first week of amb treatment. hypokalemia and renal potassium wasting were more notable, affecting about one-half and one-third of the amb recipients, respectively. results among the 40 patients recruited for the study, 11 (27.5%) patients developed amb nephrotoxicity with a mean ± standard deviation onset of ...

We studied the scattering from the simplified cylindrical cloaks analytically at both normal and oblique incidences. We found that these simplified cylindrical cloaks may produce a larger scattering at nonnormal incidences than that from an object without any cloak, making this object more "visible". Even at normal incidence, the high-order transformation with impedance matched at the outer bou...

To test the existence of the "magic moment" for parental marriage immediately post-birth and to inform policies that preferentially encourage biological over step parent marriage, this study estimates the incidence and stability of maternal marriage for children born out of wedlock. Data came from the National Survey of Family Growth on 5,255 children born non maritally. By age 15, 29 % of chil...

Long-term spatio-temporal datasets of disease incidences have made it clear that many recurring epidemics, especially childhood infections, tend to synchronize in-phase across suburbs. In some special cases, epidemics between suburbs have been found to oscillate in an out-of-phase ('antiphase') relationship for lengthy periods. Here, we use modelling techniques to help explain the presence of i...

Nursing faculty members have become increasingly concerned with student incidences of cheating and the associated lack of commitment to ethical conduct. Our faculty believed that actively engaging students in the development of specific behavioral guidelines would result in improved ethical conduct and provide a bridge to future professional ethical practice. The authors discuss the use of focu...

conclusions the incidence of liver abscesses after liver cancer thermal ablation is low. child-pugh class b and class c cirrhosis, biliary tract disease, diabetes mellitus, and porta hepatis tumors are four significant risk factors. combined ablation and pei reduces the rate of liver abscesses. background radiofrequency ablation (rfa) and microwave ablation (mwa) are the most frequently used th...

background : hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infections are major global public health problems. this study was conducted to investigate the incidence rate of these infections over six successive years in hamadan province, the west of iran. methods: this retrospective cohort study was conducted on the database of hepatitis registry. in this study, 1257 subjects infected by h...

by the year 2020, the incidence of trauma has been predicted to rise worldwide and the death rate is expected to increase from 5.1 million to 8.4 million. the most important cause of death and severe morbidity up to the age of 45 years is traumatic brain injury, with or without polytrauma. since the early 1970s, traffic-related deaths in germany have dropped continuously—with the exception of t...

background violence is the cause of death for 1.5 million people in a year. objectives our study aimed to estimate the incidence rate of self-reported interpersonal violence related physical injury (vrpi) and its associated factors in iran. patients and methods the sample included people ranged from 15 to 64 years old who were residing in iran. a total of 1525 clusters were selected from the wh...
