Summary: We used heart rate and walking speed to calculate an energy expenditure index (EEI), the ratio of per meter walked, for 102 normal subjects, age 6-18 years. Heart was measured at self-selected slow, comfortable, fast speeds on floor a motor-driven treadmill. At slow (37 ± 10 m/min) EEI elevated (0.71 0.32 beats/m), indicating poor economy. comfortable (70 11 values decreased maximum economy (0.47 0.13 beats/m). (101 13 m/min), increased (0.61 0.17 relative speeds. A graph versus...
To determine the efficacy and safety of peri-articular hyaluronic acid injections in chronic lateral epicondylosis (tennis elbow).Prospective randomized clinical trial primary care sport medicine.Three hundred thirty one consecutive competitive racquette athletes with (>3 months) were administered 2 (first injection at baseline) into subcutaneous tissue muscle 1 cm. from epicondyle toward point pain using a two-dimensional fanning technique. A second was week later.Assessments done baseline,...
Chronic Lyme disease is a term that describes constellation of persistent symptoms in patients with or without evidence previous Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Patients labeled as having chronic have substantial clinical burden. Little known about patient experiences the healthcare system and their relationships providers. The purpose this study was to gather insights who carry diagnosis United States system. Qualitative, phenomenological 12 adult participants identified themselves disease....

This paper analyzes a duopolistic price setting game in which firms have loyal consumer segments but cannot distinguish them from price-sensitive consumers. The authors adapt variant of H. Varian's (1980) simultaneous to analyze price-leader equilibria. properties the equilibria with an exogenously specified leader motivate construction timing firm larger segment consumers becomes endogenous leader. demonstrates that loyalty may play important role establishing existence and identity...
Face-to-face (FTF) weight management is costly and presents barriers for individuals seeking treatment; thus, alternate delivery systems are needed. The objective of this study was to compare delivered by FTF clinic or group conference calls (phone).
Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors experience high levels of morbidity after hospital discharge and are at risk unplanned readmission. Identifying those highest before may allow targeting novel reduction strategies. We aimed to identify factors for 90-day readmission, develop a prediction model assess its performance screen ICU readmission risk.Population cohort study linking registry data patients discharged from general ICUs in Scotland (2005-2013). Independent discriminant ability...
Many intensive care (ICU) survivors experience early unplanned hospital readmission, but the reasons and potential prevention strategies are poorly understood. We aimed to understand contributors readmissions from patient/carer perspective.This is a mixed methods study with qualitative data taking precedence. Fifty-eight ICU carers who experienced rehospitalisation were interviewed. Thematic analysis was used identify factors contributing readmissions, supplemented questionnaire measuring...
Adductor tenotomy procedures for prophylaxis against severe hip subluxation in children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy have reported good to excellent success rates; however, the overall follow-up has been short. In a retrospective review designed obtain longer term of adductor tenotomies these children, we found that 58% our patients had continued or dislocation eventual need further surgery. These results differ significantly from those previous studies. There was trend among who did...
The foot and mouth disease (FMD) epidemic in the UK 2001 had devastating consequences, including slaughter of millions animals huge losses to rural economy. regulatory policies devised deal with FMD so gravely misconceived magnitude risk that an outbreak was destined become epidemic. This article seeks draw lessons for policy by examining nature disaster chosen methods control both before during It rejects analysis offered government agency responsible argues adopted provide a classic...
To examine the efficiency of care planning process in nursing homes.We collected detailed primary data about for a stratified random sample 107 homes from Kansas and Missouri. We used these to calculate average direct cost per plan on selected deficiencies Online Survey Certification Reporting System measure quality planning. then analyzed assessment using corrected ordinary least squares (COLS) envelopment analysis (DEA).Both approaches suggested that there was considerable inefficiency...
Abstract We applied 5 pesticides, along with bromide as a conservative tracer, at 2 field sites (Northland and Manawatu, North Island of New Zealand), their distributions in the soil profile were monitored through core suction cup sampling for 18 months. Field-measured values simulated using LEACHM, HYDRUS-1D, GLEAMS, SPASMO models compared against measured datasets both these sites. All 4 predicted dataset each compounds reasonable degree accuracy; however, some discrepancies observed....
