The objective of the current study was to investigate dynamics of changes of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during the period of 12 months after endovascular or open repair surgical approaches of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). HRQoL questionnaire (SF-36) was administered to patients prior to and 1 month and 12 months after undergoing AAA intervention. Moreover, all-cause of death was recorded in both of groups over the period of 72 months. The magnitude of any differences in HRQoL scores over the period observed was calculated as an effect size (ES). The results from this study pointed out that endovascular group experienced considerable improvement in the majority of SF-36 domains (especially in mental health-oriented domains), as well as in both composite scores, one month after intervention, but this effect was not sustainable after 12 months. Contrary, the sub-cohort of patients who experienced conventional open aneurysm repair demonstrate predominantly stable quality of life one month after intervention, with considerable tendency to large improvement in all domains of SF-36 after 12 months. These results suggested that estimation of HRQoL following different surgical approaches of AAA could be considered as the most appropriate tool for comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of AAA surgical management.
Objective:to assess different body compositions of different generations of Japanese-Brazilians and identify associated health risks. Methods:the study was designed as a transversal study, and was carried out in South Brazil involving 603 Japanese-Brazilians surveyed from March to December, 2016. An interview designed to collect information regarding sociodemographic factors and lifestyle habits was used in order to gather data. Body composition evaluations were carried out was well. Results:the assessed individuals were aged between 18 and 91 years(average 49.24±18.92) and were mostly nisei(47.10%) or sansei(42.62%). Exercising(p=0.04) and healthy eating habits(p<0.001) were reported more frequently by issei and nisei individuals. Issei and sansei reported having self-described chronic diseases more frequently(p<0.001) than individuals of other generations. TBW(total body weight) and

In this paper a new functional-coe¢ cients nonlinear autoregressive time series\nmodel is presented. The complex dynamics of the modelskeleton is studied by\nmeans of the largest Lyapunov exponents, bifurcations, time series diagrams\nand phase portraits. Flips and Hopf bifurcations are investigated using center\nmanifold theorem and bifurcation theory. Stochastic sensitivity function tech-\nnique is used to analyze the noisy attractors. The interrelationship between\nparameter changes and marginal distribution of the states is discussed. The\ne¤ects of noise intensity on its dynamics and the phenomenon of noise-induced\nlimit cycles are also discussed via simulation.
Bariatric surgery is one of the most widely performed procedures in the world today, but it has several disadvantages, including perimolysis or dental erosion by gastric acids from regurgitation, vomiting and gastroesophageal reflux potentiated by citrus and acidic foods. Perimolysis or chemical dental erosion triggers the wear of dental elements both in depth and in dimension making small, irregular teeth, vertical loss of enamel, loss of occlusal contact, irregular cusps and vertical dimension of occlusion diminished. The diminished vertical dimension affects the aesthetics, the stomatognathic system triggering a series of damages that affect the quality of life of the patient. There are no studies that address the treatment of the vertical dimension of occlusion diminished by perimólise in bariatric patients evidencing the necessity of further studies. This study aims to describe the correction and management of the vertical dimension of decreased occlusion in bariatric patients. It can be concluded that many professionals opt mainly for the use of removable partial overlays and prosthesis for the recovery of the vertical dimension of diminished occlusion, since it is a financially accessible treatment, of greater ease of execution, faster and indicated for the recovery of the vertical dimension of occlusion and realignment of the occlusal plane. However the removable partial dentures is functional and yet aesthetic and aesthetics is a prime requirement today and highly requested. The restorative treatment in porcelain crowns on supported implant, porcelain onlays and porcelain facets besides restoring the functional part, the DVO present a superior aesthetic quality. The vertical dimension of diminished occlusion in bariatric patients is complex and difficult to correct because it is triggered by extensive dental erosion caused by vomiting, regurgitation and gastroesophageal reflux affecting all dental elements by wearing them both in depth and in extension. Functional aesthetic restorations are ideas for restoring the vertical dimension of occlusion. Porcelain crowns can be used on the implant to correct the vertical dimension of occlusion and restore posterior occlusion and porcelain veneers in the remaining teeth covering all the faces up to the supra gingival margin to ensure that the dental element will not have contact with the acids gastric The management of this treatment consists of a quarterly visit to the dentist for preventive care to maintain the functionality, esthetics and longevity of the restorations and the vertical dimension of occlusion.
Introduction: The first studies of implant follow-up constituted the scientific basis of modern implantology. Early loading was identified as a critical factor and therefore, several waiting times were attempted until the establishment of a period of at least three months for the mandible and five to six months for the maxilla. Then Immediate loading (IL) was defined as \"installation of a prosthetic element on implant, without osseointegration having occurred\". Objective: To demonstrate, through a systematic review, the clinical success indexes of the immediate loading technique, to present the criteria of indication and the follow-up of the procedures. Methods: The main descriptors (Mesh Terms) used were immediate loading, early loading, late loading, implants, implantology, clinical trials. A total of 165 articles were found. A total of 60 articles were evaluated in full, and 46 were included and discussed in this study. Conclusion: The analysis of the bibliography obtained showed that the success rates with the IL technique are compatible with those of the late load, as long as certain guidelines have been followed which were divided into: factors related to the patient, the surgical technique, the implant, the prosthesis and to esthetics. The high success rate is a consequence of correct surgical and prosthetic planning, harmony between implant system, patient and dentist surgeon.

This paper presents the automatic generation control (AGC) strategy in restructured environment. Two area isolated power system with Area1 has thermal - hydro power plants with two DISCOs and area2 having thermal – thermal power plant with two DISCOs. DISCO participation matrix (DPM) has been used for the visualization of bilateral contract by distribution companies (DISCOs). Price based operation of power system in bilateral contract with load variations during peak hour and off peak hour schedule has been simulated for 24 hours under the availability based (ABT) three part tariff mechanism. Unscheduled interchange (UI) charges of ABT has been calculated against frequency deviations, play an important role for regulating the frequency. Charges of peak hours are high as compared to peak hours. Distributed Generation as Electrical vehicles have been examined to control load frequency. The results reduction in tie line error, frequency deviations, changes in power deviations and UI charges against frequency with changes in the load has been represented. From the recent literature in the area of load frequency control there is lot of research future to work in the area of distributed energy source for the price based load frequency control. It would like to represent that worldwide, electrical vehicle as a distributed generation is highly demanded

Salinity causes adverse effects on morphological and physiological parameter of plants resulting\nin the reduction of crop growth and yield. Experiment was conducted in University of Sargodha\nsub campus Bhakkar from 18th June to 20th September 2016 by using two native mung bean\nvarieties vizAzri-2006 and NM-2011 by applying salicylic acid under different salinity\nlevelsi.e30 mM, 40mM and 50mM NaCl along with control treatment. Results indicated thatthe\ntreatment T3 of salicylic acid raised the number of pods and their size was recorded in AZRI\n2006 under 40mM salt stress. Salicylic acid application raised the number of seeds maximum\n(14.33) at T3 treatment in AZRI 2006 under 50 mM salt stress. Utmost plant height 69.99 cm was\nobserved at T3 treatment of salicylic acid in NM 2011 under 30 mM salt stress. T3 level of\nsalicylic acid increased the root fresh weight most of all in AZRI 2006 i.e. 7.24 grams. Highest\nproduction of total phenolic content 57.4 mg/gram was recorded at T3 level of salicylic acid in\nNM 2011 under 40 mM salt stress. Similarly more photosynthetic efficiency was estimated at T3\ntreatment in AZRI 2006 under 50 mM salt stress. Maximum reduction i.e. 695 mmole/gram in\nhydrogen peroxide species was observed in AZRI 2006 at T3 salicylic acid treatment under 50\nmM salt stress. Results indicate that foliar application of salicylic acid is better strategy for yield\nof mung bean under salinity condition as compared to high cost techniques such as plant\nbreeding.
Purpose: To calculate linkage disequilibrium (LD) between every two-variant alleles and haplotypes of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene. \n\nMethods: For 200 healthy adults, pairwise D’ and r2 values were plotted between every two-variant alleles for all the polymorphisms observed. \n\nResults: Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were observed. Weak LD was seen between –3279G and –53(TA)7, between –53(TA)7 and 686A and between 211A and –3279G (D’ = 0.95 and r2 = 0.26, 0.13 and 0.11, respectively). Subjects possessing 211GA did not carry –3279GG and those possessing 211AA did not carry variant c.–53(TA)6>(TA)7 nor variant c.–3279T>G. There were 16 haplotypes found. Haplotypes [686CC//–53(TA)6/(TA)6//–3279TT//1091CC//211GG] (wild type) and [686CC//–53(TA)6/(TA)6//–3279TG//1091CC//211GG] were the predominate haplotypes, accounting for 23% and 20.5%, respectively. The serum bilirubin level was significantly different between the 15 subjects possessed number of SNPs ≧3 and the 46 subjects possessing wild type in the UGT1A1 gene [mean (SD): 18.13 (3.02) μmol/L versus 13.65 (2.66) μmol/L, P<0.001].\n\nConclusions: Our results show that, for the five polymorphisms of the UGT1A1 gene, weak LD exists between some two-alleles, while expulsion phenomenon is present between other two-alleles. LD status of UGT1A1 certainly affects serum bilirubin value even among healthy subjects.\n\nKey words: expulsion phenomenon, haplotypes, linkage disequilibrium, serum bilirubin level, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1
