Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prototype). The objectives are as follows:. The aim of this scoping review is to map the quantitative literature about in-hospital motor interventions used to reduce neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. We will collate information about the features, delivery mechanisms, objectives, providers, underlying theoretical frameworks, hyp
The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with oral anticoagulants (OAC) is about one in five cases of ICH and associated with severe clinical presentation, frequently rapid clinical deterioration, and 30-days mortality of app 50%. This narrative review gives an overview of presentation and acute treatment of OAC-ICH. Oral anticoagulants do not cause ICH but lead to prolongation o
The global energy system is still dependent on fossil fuels, but it has become necessary to change this system immediately. In this research, I conduct a case study of the Central Java province in Indonesia to consider how an energy transition can be implemented at the subnational level. I investigate factors influencing the adoption of renewable energy in the province. I use the multi-level persp
The size effect in shear strength of longitudinally reinforced beams is studied by means of a nonlinear fracture mechanics model. According to the actual theoretical study, structure size should be normalized to an intrinsic length parameter of the concrete. This length parameter is proportional to the fracture energy G//F of the concrete. It is found that the shear strength of a concrete beam may
In recent years it has been demonstrated that loud clicks generate short latency vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP). It has also been demonstrated that skull tap stimulation evokes similar VEMP. In the present study, the differences between the click-induced and the skull-tap induced VEMP were studied in 18 patients at onset of vestibular neuritis. Gentle skull taps were delivered manual
Neutral Higgs bosons of the Standard Model (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) were searched for in the data collected in 1999 by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 191.6 and 201.7 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 228 pb(-1). These analyses, in combination with our results at lower energies, set 95% confidence level lower mass bounds on the Stan
BACKGROUND: Bile tolerant helicobacter species such as H hepaticus and H bilis have frequently been reported to cause hepatitis in mice and other rodents. AIMS: To investigate the possible pathogenic role of these and other helicobacter species in chronic liver disease in humans. METHODS: Serum samples from 144 patients with various chronic liver diseases, 30 patients with primary sclerosing chola
The effective diffusion coefficient of ethanol in a 4 %(w/v) agarose gel at 25-degrees-C was measured using a diaphragm diffusion cell. The reproducibility was very good; a standard deviation of only 2% was obtained. The mean value (9.5 x 10(-6) cm2/s) agreed well with available theory and previous investigations.
The presence of cholinergic nerve fibers in the brain vasculature has been a matter of controversy, partly due to the lack of a reliable histochemical marker. Accordingly, no distinct information about the origin and pathways for such fibers has been available. In the present study on the rat pial vasculature, utilizing a choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) antibody, which is able to demonstrate this
The effects on eating quality and meat quality of two different forms of post-slaughter treatment, performed in an abattoir, were studied in carriers and non-carriers of the RN− allele. Carcasses were subjected to rapid and slow chilling, and pelvic and Achilles suspension in a factorial experimental design. A temperature of 10 °C was achieved in the centre of M. longissimus dorsi (LD) within 3.5
Allergic rhinitis is a predisposing factor for developing clinical asthma. Moreover, allergic rhinitis is often associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). We hypothesise that patients with asthma have more small airway involvement than those with allergic rhinitis and BHR alone. The aim of this study was to assess peripheral and proximal NO concentration in rhinitic subjects, and to corr
The possible risks of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields for the human body is a growing concern for our society. We have previously shown that weak pulsed microwaves give rise to a significant leakage of albumin through the blood-brain barrier. In this study we investigated whether a pathologic leakage across the blood-brain barrier might be combined with damage to the neurons. Three groups e
SeaWiFS satellite data were employed to demonstrate how the biological conditions in marine and coastal waters may be characterized using the concentration of chlorophyll-alpha (chl-alpha) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) as the leading parameters. In marine waters the standard algorithms from the SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS) package were used to derive the concentrations, whereas in co
To gain insight into the mechanisms responsible for the loss of the glucagon response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes, glucagon responses to 4 different stimuli were examined over 3 months of diabetes in alloxan-treated mice. At 1, 6, and 12 weeks after alloxan (60 mg/kg), phloridzin (0.1 g/kg) was administered to overnight fasted diabetic mice to match the glucose levels of tho
Diabetes is caused by an absolute (type 1) or relative (type 2) deficiency of insulin-producing beta cells. We have disrupted expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin selectively in pancreatic beta cells. Mice were born healthy but subsequently developed impaired glucose tolerance progressing to overt diabetes mellitus. These observations were explained by impairment of insulin secretion d
In this paper, it is going to discuss community building in local China by exploring peculiarity of the phenomenon of gendered staff of local community. It argues that the feature of gendered staff is a reflection of the function of local community and the more advanced of the function of local community the less of the feature of gendered staff. Additionally, the function shift of local community
