• Our findings show that levels of uric acid significantly decreased, whereas those of HMW adiponectin and the RHI have significantly increased after treatment with benzbromarone. Meanwhile, in patients administered with febuxostat, uric acid levels tended to decrease and RHI significantly decreased. Neither of the two agents altered ADMA levels.…[Read more]

  • Many human activities are tactile. Recognizing how a person touches an object or a surface surrounding them is an active area of research and it has generated keen interest within the interactive surface community. In this paper, we compare two machine learning techniques, namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Hidden Markov Models (HMM), as…[Read more]

  • The effects of amphiphilic aldehydes, including propanal, hexanal, and nonanal, on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of phospholipids, moisture content, and oxidative stability in soybean oil were evaluated. The selected aldehydes are typical secondary oxidation products from unsaturated fatty acids. Moisture content increased as aldehydes…[Read more]

  • The groups significantly differed in their total scores for attitudes to prevention of pressure ulcer (p < 0.05). The intervention group got a significantly higher mean score for knowledge about prevention of pressure ulcer (63.00 ± 16.71) than the control group (39.35 ± 9.77) (p < 0.05).

    The control group had lower scores for knowledge a…[Read more]

  • To ensure that private veterinarians, AAHPs and VPPs deliver to their full potential, effective and efficient systems for training, accreditation, monitoring and audit are essential. This article draws on data from published OIE Performance of Veterinary Services evaluations (from 2007 to the present) and unpublished responses to the OIE 2017…[Read more]
