Abstract:

Abstract Infection is one of the most important causes of death in cancer patients. So many physicians make every effort to control the infection, especially in neutropenic cancer patients. The aim of this study is to find out the role of HEPA filter equipped laminar air flow room reverse isolation for the management of chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenic children with cancer. We evaluated febrile neutropenic patients following chemotherapy from January 2003 to April 2006 at the Department of Pediatrics, Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu, Korea.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a new murine model of cigarette smoke-induced emphysema. METHODS: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: the cigarette smoke group, comprising 12 rats exposed to smoke from 12 commercial filter cigarettes three times a day (a total of 36 cigarettes per day) every day for 30 weeks; and the control group, comprising 12 rats exposed to room air three times a day every day for 30 weeks. Lung function was assessed by mechanical ventilation, and emphysema was morphometrically assessed by measurement of the mean linear intercept (Lm). RESULTS: The mean weigh

Rapid industrialization and the increased use of consumer electronic goods have increased the demand for energy. To meet the increasing energy demand, global nations are looking for energy from renewable sources rather than non-renewable sources, to adhere with the sustainability principle. As energy from renewable sources is still in the experimental stage, there is a need to use available energy sources optimally. Considering this, the present study aims to identify, evaluate, and reveal the interrelationship among critical challenge factors in improving the heat rate performance of coal-fir

Abstract Global climate change also influences the forest damaging agents occurrence and thus a forest health. Forest trees that are damaged by agents are in managed forests processed by salvage felling. The amount of an annual salvage felling represents the occurrence of a damaging agents occurrence in a certain year. In 2015, the area of forests in Slovakia reached 2.014 mil. ha. Within the 20 years (from 1998 to 2017), the total felling reached 162.52 mil. m3, out of this 47.99 % were ascribed to a salvage felling. Abiotic agents were the most damaging agents (42.28 mil. m3 of damaged wood)

Abstract:

Abstract Urban climatologists have moved smoothly towards urban geometry meso-scales as obstruction between buildings, streets, and urban environment. Urban climatologists and designers have expressed that urban geometry parameters affect urban microclimate conditions. Improper functioning of the geometry factors, particularly air temperature and wind speed, can increase the harshness of climate change and Urban Heat Island (UHI) defects, which are more critical in coastal cities of tropical regions. In this regard, the current study aimed to identify the impact of each street geometry factor

Two studies are briefly reported in which electroacupuncture is found to be beneficial in aspects of infertility treatment. They are the first in a series planned to investigate acupuncture in this area of gynaecology. 1. A high impedance in the blood flow of the uterine arteries has been shown to reduce the pregnancy rate of in-vitro fertilisation treatment. So ten healthy, but infertile, women with a high uterine artery pulsatility index were treated with electroacupuncture twice a week over a period of four weeks. There was a significant reduction (p<0.0001) in pulsatility index that was
