To determine the relationship between long-term change in activities of daily living (ADL) and falls in the elderly and to identify characteristics of groups at risk for falls.

P>The relationships between the Platelet Function Analyzer (PFA)-100 and von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels and bleeding score (BS) were evaluated within a multicentre project on Molecular and Clinical Markers for the Diagnosis and Management of type 1 von Willebrand disease (MCMDM-1VWD). PFA-100 closure time, either with epinephrine (EPI) or adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-cartridges, was measured in

Patients with spinal stenosis with concomitant degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) and predominance of back pain have been shown to have inferior outcome after surgery. Studies comparing outcome according to preoperative pain predominance and treatment received are lacking.

The Sao Francisco Craton (SFC) is an Archaean craton that hosts a significant number of mafic intrusions. Previous attempts to date the igneous emplacement of these rocks are limited to a few dates of poor precision. Here, two dyke swarms from the Uaua Block in the northeastern portion of the craton were dated using U-Pb on baddeleyite (ID-TIMS) and zircon (SIMS). The older dyke swarm trends mainl

Intellectual property is a very important type of asset in today’s business world. Since business in the Western World grows increasingly based and dependent on know-how and technological development, intangible assets such as trademarks, copyrights and patents plausibly represent greater economic value to economic actors here than other, physical, assets do. Although it is comparatively unknown

Faiveley Group is an international company present in 22 countries, and with their headquarters in France. The subsidiary Faiveley Transport Nordic AB, Faiveley, is responsible for the Nordic and Baltic markets and is also the competence centre for the development of the BFC brakes. Faiveley is currently in a changing period and various projects are currently in progress, including hiring outside

Hong Kong used to enjoy high degree of press freedom during the period under the British colonial control, however, since the handover to China in 1997, the media self-censorship is becoming explicit. Attributed by the political and economic influences from China, Hong Kong media become more reserved in reporting Chinese sensitive issue, the objectivity and impartiality is threatened. This paper i

This article examines forced migrants’ decision-making over time on movement from first country of asylum. Building on 150 in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees (A note on terminology: the term refugee is used colloquially by our participants, other scholars, the legal profession, and international actors to denote most Syrian migrants, yet it often means different things to its users. While ma

The infringement of intellectual property rights has devastating effects on trade, the free circulation of goods, employment, development and public health. Rights holders and the companies legitimately exploiting them are the main parties injured by this and in the last few years, infringement has increased by more than 1000%. The Commission has fought against such infringement since the eighties

Aim To present a systematic literature review (SLR) on efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccination in adult patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD), aiming to provide a basis for updating the EULAR evidence-based recommendations. Methods An SLR was performed according to the standard operating procedures for EULAR-endorsed recommendations. Outcome was determined by

Objectives: This longitudinal study explores whether the working situation (no change in working hours despite care, reduction of working hours due to care or not working) moderates mental and physical health of informal caregivers of older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Italy. Methods: Data from a sample of 146 caregivers of older people with moderate AD involved in the UP-TECH trial acr

Gas chromatographic analyses of muramic acid, diaminopimelic acid and D-alaline, which are specific components of the bacterial cell wall, have been performed using electron capture or selected ion monitoring detection. Intact cells or peptidogylycan preparations were hydrolyzed in HCl and DCl. After purification by cation exchange chromatography, followed by conversion to the N-heptafluobutyrliso

Combined measurements of Higgs boson production cross sections and branching fractions are presented. The combination is based on the analyses of the Higgs boson decay modes H→γγ, ZZ∗, WW∗, ττ, bb, μμ, searches for decays into invisible final states, and on measurements of off-shell Higgs boson production. Up to 79.8 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detecto

A search for the electroweak production of charginos and sleptons decaying into final states with two electrons or muons is presented. The analysis is based on 139 fb- 1 of proton–proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at s=13 TeV. Three R-parity-conserving scenarios where the lightest neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle are considered: the pro

In recent years, the ability to make available, locate and access copyright protected content over the Internet has increased considerably.
