Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of adult vision loss world-wide that offers a significant diagnostic challenge. The prevalence of DR increases with duration of diabetes [31]. DR is difficult to prevent and treat. Biochemical mechanisms, such as hyperglycemia, are proposed as possible pathogenic factors in DR, while retinal vasodilation and retinal hyperperfusion, related to hypoxia and the release of nitric oxide, may be key initiating factors in early DR developments [32-35]. Hyperperfusion

ABSTRACT Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a critical complication after pediatric cardiac surgery that significantly diminishes the quality of life. Early detection of AKI after pediatric cardiac surgery can lead to better preventive and therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an early marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric cardiac patients. We measured serum

The use of structural equation modelling (SEM) has steadily increased in behavioural science where two submodels are identified including a measurement model and a structural model. In this study the research paradigm indicates and concurrently strives to combine measurement and structural model for complete parameter tests. SEM is a quantitative data analytical technique which specifies, estimates and tests theoretical relationships between observed endogenous variables and latent, unobserved exogenous

Title Understanding how the sound of a word affects how we read and categorize. By knowing how homophobic words can play a role in our comprehension and how one learns to read. By using the dual-access theory and analyzing the theories of phonological mediation and direct access to gain insight on the way one understands words and homophone relations. The article “A ROWS is a ROSE: Spelling, sound, and reading” Van Orden researches the effects of stimulus word phonology. This study was design to

C.Post processing It has been watched that regularly Hard Exudates and Optic plate are of same splendor, shading and differentiate.Along these lines, here and there optic circle is misassumed and must be dispensed with from the results of Hard Exudates got after applying a grouping calculation to get exact Hard Exudates.Here, Circular Hough Transform is connected to the outcome acquired by applying a bunching calculation for distinguishing optic circle.when the optic circle in distinguished it is

occurring should be assessed and then the outcomes should be separated into desirable and undesirable outcomes. The fourth step is to compare utility values and the fifth step is to perform sensitivity analysis (97-98). 3.) Define the two different types of meta-analysis. A qualitative meta-analysis is “a systemic review of the literature on a particular topic” (99). Different articles on the same topic are reviewed and the results, strengths, and weaknesses of each article are assessed. A quantitative

FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS 1. Describe what you will do to prepare for this meeting. To prepare for the meeting I would begin by identifying the problem of the client, which in this case would be Delta Airlines. The problem being that the airline is facing security issues due to terrorism, and that is in turn impacting the amount of revenue they earn. I would then identify the internal and external factors, which include: terrorism, political factors, and the technology working without significant

Though people make a majority of their decisions subconsciously, fear is at the core of them if people examined them closely. The world often operates on fear and it is unavoidable. This constant presence of fear means that it is important to understand how it affects humans and ask why is fear has such a major role in people’s lives. William Golding wrote Lord of the Flies as a way to explore the many aspects of human nature, including the role fear plays in our lives. Golding illustrates how boys

Re- evaluation saves lives- late evident spleenic injury Introduction There is a trimodal distribution of mortality due to trauma. Patient will die of catastrophic internal injuries within seconds to minutes. Secondly, it is the significant blood loss causing death within minutes to hours. Finally, death due to multi organ failure will take days to weeks. Management within first few hour of injury is critical. We must follow the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocol in the initial work up

Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Pediatric Sepsis : A pilot study Abstract BACKGROUND: Sepsis in pediatric patients still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. AIM: To determine whether serum level of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) could be used as a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker in septic child. METHODS: A pilot study on pediatric intensive care unit patients over a 1year period with clinical evidence of sepsis. Forty patients were enrolled
