3.%) and 182 (5.0%) were identified by both. Hospitalization rates increased significantly during this period (p less then 0.0001). Females comprised 61.5% and whites comprised 69.8% of the sample. Distribution by age differed by ascertainment method (ICD-9 vs. Algorithm) among the Early-old (age 65-74) 53.8% vs. 41.8%, respectively, and among the…[Read more]

However, the sensitivity analysis results of two study areas showed that the most effective control target for reducing integral risk has no obvious relationship with the maximum grouped risk. And a clear linear relationship between the maximum sensitivity range and the logarithm of the initial overall risk only presented in one of study areas,…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE Regional anesthesia (RA)-induced vasodilation increases the proportion of patients with vein anatomy suitable for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The functional outcomes of AVFs created with veins initially small for size on preoperative duplex ultrasound mapping (≤2.4 mm) that are recruited under RA have not been clearly d…[Read more]

In this paper, we summarize this second symposium’s goals and highlights.Assessment of the mechanical properties of structural steels characterizing their strength and deformation parameters is an essential problem in the monitoring of structures that have been in operation for quite a long time. The properties of steel can change under the…[Read more]
