Similarly,considerations for selecting the type of saliva, i.e. mixed vs individual glandular (Mandel, 1980; Sreebny and Zhu, 1996), the specific collection methodology to be used (Navazesh, 1993) and the physiological factors affecting salivary collection (Dawes, 1993) have also been reviewed in

1.2. Literature review 1.2.1. Epidemiology of C.difficile Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic, Gram-positive bacillus spore-forming, toxin-secreting bacteria that has long been recognized to be the most common etiologic pathogen of antibiotic-associated diarrhea(Shin Jh).It is a frequent environmental organism which has been isolated from soil, food, water, animals, asymptomatic infants, and health care environment (.Amit s,. Studies shows that only 7-15% of healthy adults are colonized with toxigenic

last and the first 10 seconds of elbow flexion and extension task. And the number of flexion/extension was also counted as the 31st feature. More detailed description of the features and their calculations are provided in Figure 3 and Table 1. We compared features between two groups, non-frail and frail, categorized by TSFI (frail was identified when TSFI is over 0.27). One-way ANOVA was employed for comparing two groups. And the features which have significantly difference (p < 0.05) between groups

Introduction The study examined the relationship between helping behavior and the character traits which a person most identifies with, selflessness or selfishness. Also, included in the study was an analysis of the relationship between helping behavior and the number of siblings a person has. We anticipated that there would be a correlation between the character traits, selflessness and selfishness, and helping behavior. Thus, we expect to see a significant positive correlation coefficient indicating

The tensile testing was done on the three composite specimens (90°, and two 45°) were completed with a servo-hydraulic load frame with a wedge. The one in the lab was the MTS 647 hydraulic wedge grip and an 810 material test system. The specimens had strain gages with a Wheatstone bridge to collect data such as time, distance, load, axial strain, and transverse strain. From the strain gages, evidence can support how and when the specimen material failed under the stress being applied to it. The test

Study 3: Validation of Oxygen Saturation Monitoring in Neonates The third study reviewed was written by Shyang-Yun Pamela K. Shiao and Ching-Nan Ou (2007), and is titled Validation of Oxygen Saturation Monitoring in Neonates. The objective of this particular study was to validate whether the clinical monitor was correct in recording oxygen saturations, comparing the results to blood samples. According to this study, blood was obtained for this research through catheters that were inserted through

Genetic testing is a new technological advancement that allows expecting parents to seek for potential risks for genetic disorders in their fetus. Only one key issue separates opponents on genetic testing, the morality of terminating a pregnancy with the current accuracy of results and altering genetics in order to change mental and physical characteristic in unborn children raises controversy. The inherent issues of this controversy are morality of aborting, accuracy of results, and the coming of

sense; identify and treat cancer before you know it’s there. The theory behind this is to catch cancer in the initial stages and it will be more curable. This in turn, reduces deaths due to the disease. Nurse Practitioner Veneta Masson, author of “Why I don’t Get Mammograms” argues the topic of how routine mammograms don’t save lives. Masson being a health care professional has been well educated on maintaining optimum health and preventing disease. Though she may have the knowledge and awareness, she

The University of Iowa Prevention Center has broken down workplace violence into four categories. The first being (Type I) Criminal Intent, this is when a criminal displays violent behavior toward an employee. He/she has no association with the
