BackgroundNonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is a common endocrine dysfunction predicting unfavorable outcomes in critical illness.The objective of the study is to evaluate the association between different NTIS subtypes with outcomes in septic patients.MethodsSeptic patients in two Queen Adjustable Base Chinese academic centers from October 2012
Lithic artefacts are usually associated with the different knapping methods used in their production.Flakes exhibit metric and technological features representative of the flaking method used to detach them.However, lithic production is a Queen Adjustable Base dynamic process in which discrete methods can be blurred, and in which features can vary
Traditional computed tomography (CT) delivers a relatively high dose of radiation to the patient and cannot be used as a method for screening of pathologies.Instead, infrared thermography (IRT) might help in the detection of pathologies, but interpreting thermal imaging (TI) is difficult even for the expert.The main objective of this work is Body s
This work shows Bag the results for the first time of calibrating and validating a mathematical model, capable of predicting the amounts of O _3 and O _2 necessary to reduce pollution levels in a lake based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD _5 ), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and fecal coliforms (FC) c
In this study, polymeric/metallic yarns were fabricated by using the micrometric copper multifilament and the polymer multifilament to create electrically conductive, thin, flexible composite yarn structures.The main aim is to realize the circuit board by using fabricated conductive yarns in the needle position of the embroidery machine and to inte
