In post-partum dairy cows, the energy needs to satisfy high milk production induces a status of more or less pronounced Negative Energy Balance (NEB). NEB associated with fat mobilization impairs reproductive function. In a companion paper, we described constitutive gene expression in the three main endometrial cell types (stromal, glandular and…[Read more]

Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of family physicians and pediatricians in regard to adolescent immunization.Methods The study was conducted from March to May 2017. A total of 665 physicians participated. Participants were asked 31 questions about their personal sociodemographic…[Read more]

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteremia (CR-GNB) is seen with increasing frequency and result in high mortality. The aim of this study was to compare the risk factors and results of carbapenem-resistant and carbapenem-susceptible Gram-negative bacteremia and to determine the factors related to mortality.

The study was conducted as a…[Read more]

WC and WHtR showed no association consistent with all-cause mortality after adjustment for confounding factors. Considering the loss of significance in the sensitivity analyses, ABSI’s predictive capacity for mortality is still weak. Thus, adopting ABSI in clinical practice or in epidemiological surveys, in conjunction or replacing BMI and WC,…[Read more]

in English, French Prise en charge de l’enfant autiste. Les médecins traitants et les pédiatres sont des acteurs essentiels dans la prise en charge de l’autisme. Envonalkib Au-delà du rôle crucial dans le repérage d’un développement atypique chez un enfant, les praticiens de première ligne doivent pouvoir informer les parents en orientant ve…[Read more]

The current work presents the study of a semicrystalline, shape memory polymer synthesized by simultaneous free radical polymerization and crosslinking in a blend of polybutadiene (PB) and octadecyl acrylate. Blending elastomers and phase change materials provide a modular method for new smart materials, such as shape memory polymers. In this…[Read more]

Background This study assesses attitudes towards vaccination in mothers of new-born babies and explores its association with different exposures to communication. Methods Data were collected through questionnaires administered by means of interviews. Results Data highlighted that 20% of mothers showed an orientation towards vaccine hesitancy. As…[Read more]

Achieving thorough disinfection is regarded as one of the pillars in endodontics. Although calcium hydroxide (CH) is one of the routinely used intracanal medicament in endodontics; alternative approaches are gaining popularity to mitigate endodontic pathology. However, CH has to be tested for its dissociation which is a rate-limiting attribute…[Read more]

Moreover, a simplified field programable gate array (FPGA) hardware implementation for the channel aware system scheduler is presented. The implementation results show that the consumed power for the proposed scheduler is 98.5 mW and the maximum processing clock speed is 190 MHz.Background Traditionally, the treatment options for unresectable…[Read more]
