OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study are to compare the sensitivity and specificity of three diagnostic tools for delirium (the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Units and the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Units Flowsheet) in a mixed population of critically ill pati
Substantial levels of lysozyme in adipose tissue in association to obesity have been recently demonstrated in mice and humans.In addition, Chastity Cages experiments in mice suggest that lysozyme might impact on adipose tissue adipogenesis.To further investigate the relationship between lysozyme and adipogenesis, in the present study, we aimed to s
The desire of the individual to the knowledge for the sake of knowledge looks for the masses of ordinary Rack Set people as invalid luxury, or crankiness or snobbery.However, precisely because of those who are obsessed with a thirst for knowledge and not content with cash array of empirical and theoretical information, progress eventually science,
The energy-exergy and environ-economic (4E) analysis was conducted on a solar still with and without a hybrid thermal energy storage system (TESS) and a solar air heater.The proposed solar still was modified by Metal Garden Stake integrating a rectangular aluminium box filled with paraffin wax and black gravel as the TESS and coupled with a solar a
Considering the characteristics of carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East, a low-viscosity microemulsion acid that can be prepared on site and has an appropriate retardation ability was developed.It was compared with four conventional acid systems (hydrochloric acid, gelled acid, emulsified acid and surfactant acid) through experiments of rotating
