Three clusters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) linked to a tour group from China, company conference, and church were identified in Singapore February, 2020.We gathered epidemiological clinical data individuals with confirmed COVID-19, via interviews inpatient medical records, we did field investigations assess interactions possible modes transmission severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Open source reports obtained for overseas cases. We reported the median (IQR)...
Literature about doctoral supervision has concentrated on describing the ever lengthening lists of functions that must be carried out. This functional approach is necessary, but there been little exploration a different paradigm, conceptual towards research supervision. article, based interviews with supervisors from range disciplines, aims to fill this gap. The main concepts identified are: – where issue one project management; enculturation student encouraged become member disciplinary...
PurposeThe objective of this project was to define consensus guidelines for delineating organs at risk (OARs) head and neck radiotherapy routine daily practice research purposes.MethodsConsensus were formulated based on in-depth discussions a panel European, North American, Asian Australian radiation oncologists.ResultsTwenty-five OARs in the region defined with concise description their main anatomic boundaries. The Supplemental material provides an atlas guidelines, projected 1 mm axial...
Shark cartilage contains a substance that strongly inhibits the growth of new blood vessels toward solid tumors, thereby restricting tumor growth. The abundance this factor in shark cartilage, contrast to from mammalian sources, may make sharks an ideal source inhibitor and help explain rarity neoplasms these animals.
Abstract Background Detection of “any cognitive impairment” is mandated as part the Medicare annual wellness visit, but screening all patients may result in excessive false positives. Methods We developed and validated a brief Dementia Screening Indicator using data from four large, ongoing cohort studies (the Cardiovascular Health Study [CHS]; Framingham Heart [FHS]; Retirement [HRS]; Sacramento Area Latino on Aging [SALSA]) to help clinicians identify subgroup high‐risk target for...
This paper explores supervisor development in the light of information generated by Erasmus-funded project on modern doctorate. It is structured four phases. Firstly examining interview data to isolate some distinguishing features Secondly re-examining that see if these can be mapped an existing framework approaches research supervision. Thirdly looking at survey responses relating same framework. Fourthly, having found coherence with five approaches, initial outcomes from a Norwegian are...
Objective To determine whether classes of diabetes medications are associated with cognitive health and dementia risk, above beyond their glycemic control properties. Research design methods Findings were pooled from 5 population-based cohorts: the Framingham Heart Study, Rotterdam Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Aging Gene-Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study (AGES) Sacramento Area Latino on (SALSA). Differences between users non-users insulin, metformin sulfonylurea...
Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of a brief smoking cessation intervention with pregnant women practicable routinely by midwives. Design. Midwives were randomized to deliver experimental or usual care. The 10‐15‐minute was based on counselling, written materials, arrangements for continuing self‐help support and feedback expired‐air carbon monoxide levels. tailored women's needs: those who did not want stop received motivational intervention, wanted an designed assist them that had...
Research and enquiry skills are increasingly required of students at all levels the higher education curriculum, this requires a sophisticated pedagogical response. The question is: how can we integrate current knowledge about academic writing with supervision? This article integrates different approaches to an established theory supervision develop new model for supervising component doctoral curriculum. Theory-driven research-based, original integrated five approaches, that is, functional,...
Challenges commonly encountered in HTA of orphan medicinal products (OMPs) were identified Advance-HTA. Since then, new initiatives have been developed to specifically address issues related OMPs.This study aimed understand why these England, Scotland and at European-level established whether they resolve the challenges OMPs. The work Advance-HTA was updated with a literature review conceptual framework clinical, regulatory economic for OMPs developed. programmes critiqued against...
Educating our early career researchers is becoming more complex. The range of doctoral degrees, the fast moving nature knowledge, internationalisation, demands funding bodies and employers are all pulling on Ph.D. supervisors. untrained supervisor will copy (or avoid copying) way that they were supervised themselves. Current literature supervision focuses either lists tasks must undertake or conceptions research. There a need for conceptual approach to research supervision. This...
Background: Vitamin B12 and folate measurements in serum show wide inter-methodology variability. This variability appears to be due part the lack of standardisation against internationally accepted reference materials. Pooled human serum, lyophilised ampoules designated 03/178, was therefore evaluated by 24 laboratories seven countries for its suitability serve as an International Standard (IS) folate.
Purpose The objective of the study was to compare intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution (Trav/Tim) latanoprost 0.005%/timolol (Lat/Tim), dosed once daily in morning, patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OH). Methods This a randomized, double-masked, multicenter, parallel group, active-controlled conducted at 41 sites. At eligibility visit were randomized (1:1) assigned masked medication if they...
