Abstract:

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the USA. In the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in the identification and understanding of the genetic factors related to prostate cancer development. Unlike many other types of cancers, only a small fraction of prostate cancer cases are aggressive and life-threatening. The factors related to prostate cancer development and progression appear complex and diverse. This review summarises some of the important findings in the areas of genome and gene expression abnormalities in prostate cancer, and aims to provide a comprehensive view of new developments in these areas.

Abstract:

The magnitude of hypertensive patient not continuing treatment is not well documented. But it is assumed that it could be worse and thereby would contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity. A study can produce awareness among all level of medical practitioners regarding the factors underlying defaulting on anti hypertensive treatment. To find out the factors underlying being defaulter of antihypertensive treatment and making future recommendation for remedy - were the main objectives of the present study It was a cross sectional study which was carried out in medical indoor & out patient department of Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, (SSMC & MH) Dhaka on 100 patients selected by purposive sampling who were defaulters of anti hypertensive treatment. The main causes of becoming defaulters were lack of knowledge and misconception (40%) and financial constrain (32%). The complications of defaulters of antihypertensive treatment were enormous. Most of the patients (80%) suffered from major target organ damage like Stroke/TIA (35%), LVH/LVF/IHD (15%), Retinopathy (12%), Nephropathy (5%) and more than one organ damage (13%). Awareness both of physicians and public about hypertension and proper counseling with education and information about hypertension, rational use of medication and regular follow up will be helpful to avoid morbid complication.

Abstract:

A factor analysis of 11 measures of lingual activity involved in the production of the syllable /ka/ showed that three factors can explain about 75% of the variance in the data. Measures of displacement and velocity loaded strongly on the first factor, durational measures loaded strongly on the second factor, and midsyllable durational and distance measures loaded on the third factor. This three-factor solution emerged from each of four conditions involving manipulations of speed of delivery and linguistic context. Canonical correlations showed that the best of four linear additive models involving 3 of the 11 variables was able to explain 45% of the variance in the remaining 8 variables. The three best predictor variables were (a) descending movement displacement, (b) linguo laryngeal movement onset delay, and (c) time to peak velocity for the ascending movement. It is argued that these variables represent the speech system's control over the articulatory distinction of different sounds, interarticulatory coordination, and, perhaps, rhythm adjustment, and that the first two factors correspond to central variables of breakdown in Broca's aphasia.

Abstract:

Sepsis, a syndrome characterized by systemic inflammation during infection, continues to be one of the most common causes of patient mortality in hospitals across the United States. While standardized treatment protocols have been implemented, a wide variability in clinical outcomes persists across racial groups. Specifically, black and Hispanic populations are frequently associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality in sepsis compared to the white population. While this is often attributed to systemic bias against minority groups, a growing body of literature has found patient, community, and hospital-based factors to be driving racial differences. In this article, we provide a focused review on some of the factors driving racial disparities in sepsis. We also suggest potential interventions aimed at reducing health disparities in the prevention, early identification, and clinical management of sepsis.

Abstract:

Modern workplaces must learn how to respond effectively to two trends which can cost employers billions of dollars each year in lost productivity: presenteeism and absenteeism. In 2010, the annual cost of presenteeism, $180 billion, surpassed the cost of absenteeism, $118 billion (Weaver, 2010). According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (2006), presenteeism is defined as the practice of coming to work despite illness, injury, anxiety, etc., often resulting in reduced productivity. According to Dictionary.com Unabridged (n.d.), absenteeism is defined as habitual failure to appear, especially for work or other regular duty. In the past, the main attributable factor for presenteeism and absenteeism was workers being sick; however, this research uncovered other underlying causes for this phenomenon. In addition, this research expanded the existing research and found other ways employees cost employers in lost productivity, one of which included conducting personal business during working hours. The research concluded, through the use of Chi-Square tests for independence, there was dependency between some of the variables.

Abstract:

As part of a continuing investigation of the conditions associated with operating irregularities in air traffic control (ATC), reports prepared during the investigation of 301 operating irregularities were analyzed in order to identify the factors most likely to precipitate air traffic control incidents. Operating irregularities were found to occur more frequently under conditions of moderate or low workload and normal complexity. A second objective of the work has been to develop a database system from which statistical data on operating irregularities and the various identified factors can be extracted. However, in order to enhance the integrity of the descriptive information in the database, the category structure that has been used to record the occurrence of ATC incidents is being revised to reflect the contemporary approaches to human error. A brief description of the proposed structure is included in the present paper.

Abstract:

Aim. The aim of this study is to analyze the etiological factors underlying the presence of maxillary midline diastema in a sample of orthodontic patients.Materials and Methods. One hundred patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria were selected from 1355 patients seeking orthodontic treatment. The pretreatment orthodontic records were analyzed. The width of the maxillary midline diastema was measured clinically with a digital caliper at two levels: the mesioincisal angles of the central incisors and five millimeters from the incisal edge. The two measurements were averaged, and patients with diastema of more than 0.5 millimeter in width were enrolled.Results. Diastema is a multifactorial clinical finding with more than one underlying etiological cause. The interrelationship between the familial pattern of midline diastema and the microdontia, macroglossia, labial frenum, and alveolar cleft conforms was clear. The effect of a mesiodens and the upper lateral incisor whether bilaterally missing, unerupted, or peg shaped was minimal.Conclusion. Etiological factors underlying maxillary midline diastema are interconnected. Using a checklist as a guide during handling maxillary midline diastema is important in the different stages of treatment.

Abstract:

The Buffalo Longitudinal Study of Young Men was used to address the possibility of a common factor underlying adolescent problem behaviors. First, a measurement model with a single first-order factor was compared to a model with three separate correlated first-order factors. The three-factor model was better supported, making it logical to conduct a second-order factor analysis, which confirmed the logic. Second, a substantive model was estimated in each of two waves with psychopathic state as the common factor predicting drinking, drug use, and delinquency. Psychopathic state was stable across waves. The theory that a single latent variable accounts for large covariance among adolescent problem behaviors was supported.

Abstract:

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare syndrome, graded from asymptomatic subclinical apoplexy to a life-threatening condition due to pituitary ischemia or haemorrhage of an enlarged pituitary gland. The risk factors and the molecular underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. We provide an overview of the general concepts, the potential factors associated with pituitary adenoma susceptibility for apoplectic events and the molecular mechanisms that could be involved such as HIF-1α/VEGF pathways and metalloproteinases activation, among others. The knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that could participate in the pathogenesis of pituitary apoplexy is crucial to advancement in the identification of future diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets in this rare but sometimes fatal condition.

Abstract:

<p>This paper is devoted to examining the factors responsible for the low achievement in English as a foreign language (EFL) among Saudi students. While some of these factors are demographic variables that pertain specifically to the learners themselves, such as gender, age, motivation, attitudes, aptitude, anxiety, autonomy, learning strategies, and learning style, most are external and outside the learners’ control. These external factors are particularly represented by sociocultural factors, such as the influence of Arabic as the first language (L1); religion, culture, and society; instructional variables, such as teacher behavior and teaching styles, the curriculum, and the teaching methods; and finally, problems with the educational system in Saudi Arabia, such as overcrowded classes, lack of teacher training, and a lack of technology. This paper begins by emphasizing the importance of English language learning for Saudis, followed by an analysis and a discussion of the factors that might explain their lack of achievement. The paper concludes by presenting some implications and offering recommendations for EFL practitioners and policymakers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to address the factors contributing to low EFL achievement among Saudi learners.</p>
