BackgroundAdipokines are engaged in bone physiology and regulate bone mineral density (BMD) by playing protective or cynical role in bone metabolism.The study is designed to measure and compare BMD, adipokines (retinoic acid receptor responder protein-2 RARRES2, visfatin and Intelectin-1) and their genetic variants in postmenopausal osteoporotic, o
A Superimposed Codebook Design for Downlink Sparse Code Multiple Access Visible Light Communication System
The capacity performance of visible light communication (VLC) systems can be improved by using sparse code multiple access (SCMA).Since SCMA is a codebook-based multiple access Laminate Tops scheme, the design of the codebook is crucial.SCMA codebook performance is severely affected by shot noise.Although several codebook design metrics have been p
Mechanical power of ventilation and driving pressure: two undervalued parameters for pre extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ventilation and during daily management?
Abstract The current ARDS guidelines highly recommend lung protective ventilation which include plateau pressure (P plat 5 cm H2O) and tidal volume (V t of 6 ml/kg) of predicted body weight.In contrast, the ELSO guidelines suggest the evaluation of an indication Cookie of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to hypoxemic or hy
Legal and Ethical Aspects of Discontinuing Futile Medical Care in Poland, the United Kingdom and Italy. A Comparative-Legal Perspective
Futile care encompasses a range of medical procedures that serve to sustain Pancake / Crepe Rakes the vital functions of a terminally ill person, thus prolonging their dying process.This paper aims primarily to arrive at a legal and ethical characterization of the institution of futile care.In the light of pertinent laws in other countries (the Uni
Education in Medicine as a component of Modern Science; restoring the balance
Since 1871 when the Colombo Medical College was instituted, the education of undergraduates and postgraduates in medicine, over the succeeding decades, had the prime aim of producing doctors who could deliver health care.This was the continuation of British colonial policy.The establishment Pancake / Crepe Rakes of the University of Ceylon in 1942
