Numerous protected areas (PAs) have been created in Africa to safeguard wildlife and other natural resources. However, significant threats from anthropogenic activities decline of populations persist, while conservation efforts most PAs are still minimal. We assessed the impact level common within tropical relationship with threat level. collated data on 98 forest cover 15 countries across West, Central East Africa. For this, we assembled information about local as well published unpublished...
Abstract Black women have a lower incidence of vertebral and hip fractures than white women, possibly due to differences in skeletal mineral metabolism. One suggested mechanism is that blacks decreased sensitivity parathyroid hormone (PTH). To test this hypothesis, we infused h(1–34)PTH healthy premenopausal black (n = 15) 18) over 24 h measured serum urine indices bone turnover calcium metabolism throughout the infusion. At baseline, mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration was...
Abstract While noninvasive studies of bone mass and turnover in blacks whites abound, histologic evaluations are very rare. We have performed a comparative histomorphometric study iliac biopsies from 55 healthy, premenopausal women including 21 (mean age 33.4 + 1.2 years) 34 32.5 0.8 comparable age, weight, body composition, education, lifestyle. Biochemical indices mineral metabolism: parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin serum ionized calcium, phosphorus, urinary...
Background Operation rates for common surgical procedures are known to vary widely both between areas within the same country and countries. However, no studies in United Kingdom have yet examined variation use of important groups among primary care groups.
Background: Relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) remains a significant clinical problem. We hypothesized that activating the immune microenvironment, and concurrently targeting tumor cells with brentuximab vedotin (B) could overcome resistance. Here we report extended follow-up for all patients treated on Phase 1 of E4412 combinations B (1.2 or 1.8 mg/kg), nivolumab (N) 3mg/kg ipilimumab (I) (1 3mg). Methods: Patients confirmed R/R HL were enrolled sequentially in cohorts B-I...
INTRODUCTION: Many women are unaware that delaying childbearing may lead to a decline in fertility. A questionnaire was designed better understand their perspectives. METHODS: Anonymous surveys were distributed over 17 years old at Lutheran Medical Center. RESULTS: Three hundred ninety-eight of 566 questionnaires (70%) successfully returned. Mean age 37±11 years. total 58.5% had children. 7.9% treated for infertility. 51.8% received Bachelor's degree or higher. 86.2% believed 38 and older...
We investigated the mechanism and characteristics of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) absorption in unanesthetized rat by using a single-pass intestinal perfusion technique. The rate 25-OH-D3 remained linear for wide range concentrations (2-900 nM). Absorption increased as pH, bile acid concentration, thickness unstirred water layer were decreased. did not change after additions fatty acids varied chain lengths degrees saturation. In rats with lymph fistulas, 18.5% 16.3% infused...
Abstract Aim Paleoclimate reconstructions have enhanced our understanding of how past climates may shaped present-day biodiversity. We hypothesize that habitat stability in historical Afrotropical refugia played a major role the suitability and persistence chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) during late Quaternary. aimed to build dynamic model changing for at fine spatio-temporal scales provide new resource their ecology, behaviour evolution. Location Afrotropics. Taxon Chimpanzee ), including...
OBJECTIVE: In 2008 the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development developed a terminology for fetal heart rate tracings. One conclusion is clinical implication category II (FHR) tracing unknown. This study was designed to evaluate significance obstetric outcomes FHR METHODS: an observational identifying Exclusion criteria included multiple gestation prematurity. The neonatal outcome data included: 5-minute Apgar score, route delivery, umbilical artery...
OBJECTIVE: The contemporary obstetric population has evolved since Friedman's landmark studies. Evidence suggests that Chinese multiparous women have shorter labor progression. goal of this study is to evaluate the lengths first and second stage among women. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort term, singleton, vertex, laboring from January 4, 2014, August 13, 2014. excluded patients with chorioamnionitis, fetal demise, trial after cesarean delivery. Cervical dilatation was recorded...
INTRODUCTION: Studies have described normal labor curves in nulliparous and multiparous women. Few studies attempted to analyze data regards ethnicity. In this study we present the stages of Arabic women a community hospital delivery unit. METHODS: We conducted retrospective cohort term, singleton, vertex, laboring from 9/2014-7/2016. Exclusion criteria: chorioamnionitis, multiple gestations, induction labor, non-identifiable ethnicity, previous cesarean desired TOL, chromosomal...
INTRODUCTION: A recent study demonstrated that customizing the birth weight percentiles for a subset of population more accurately reflects potential adverse outcome. The goal this was to determine whether fetal biometric assessments correlated with neonatal outcomes in Chinese–American comparison general population-based references. METHODS: We conducted retrospective review patients Chinese ethnicity referred maternal-fetal medicine unit evaluation small gestational age (SGA). RESULTS:...
INTRODUCTION: Despite interventions to promote breastfeeding, a disproportionate number of mothers from ethnic minorities do not breastfeed. Chinese-American have one the lowest breastfeeding rates. The purpose this study is identify factors contributing low in population. METHODS: A validated 17-item questionnaire was distributed women who delivered at NYU Lutheran Medical Center June 2015–July 2015. given immediate postpartum period. RESULTS: 71 75 questionnaires were returned. 86%...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the commissioning of contraception services by London health authorities with accepted models good practice. DESIGN: Combined interview and postal surveys all National Health Service (NHS) trusts responsible for running family planning clinics in Greater area. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: authority was assessed on presence four key elements practice--strategies, coordination, service specifications, quality standards contracts--by monitoring activity quality. RESULTS: Less...
INTRODUCTION: To determine the outcomes including complications that occur when an emergency code, “Condition Pink” is used on labor and delivery for either maternal or fetal reasons. METHODS: Retrospective chart review was conducted all patients who delivered at New York University – Lutheran Medical Center between January 2014 December 2015. Fifty eight had a called. Mode of delivery, neonatal Apgar scores such as infection, hemorrhage, bladder injury were reported. Also reviewed...
