Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare statistical knowledge of health science faculty across accredited schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health.Methods: A probability sample of schools was selected, and all faculty at each selected school were invited to participate in an online statistical kno
DSNAODV: Detecting Selfish Nodes based on Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), innumerable intermediate nodes interchange information without the need for infrastructure.In these networks, nodes depend upon each other for routing and forwarding packets, and communication among them is very important.Forwarding packets consumes network bandwidth, local CPU time, memory, and energy.Therefore,
Improving outcome reporting in clinical trial reports and protocols: study protocol for the Instrument for reporting Planned Endpoints in Clinical Trials (InsPECT)
Abstract Background Inadequate and poor quality outcome reporting in clinical trials is a well-documented problem that impedes the ability of researchers to evaluate, replicate, synthesize, and build upon study findings and impacts evidence-based decision-making by patients, clinicians, and policy-makers.To facilitate harmonized and transparent rep
In vivo mice brain microcirculation monitoring based on contrast-enhanced SD-OCT
In this paper, we proposed a contrast-enhanced homemade spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) method for monitoring of brain microcirculation.We used the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-ylated gold nanorods (GNRs) as a contrast-enhanced agent, obtained clearly 2D and 3D OCT images of blood vessels and dynamic changes of probes in mouse bl
Clinical Update on Patient-Controlled Analgesia for Acute Postoperative Pain
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is an effective method for controlling spoon rsx acute pain, including postoperative pain in adults and in children from five years of age, pain resulting from labor, trauma, or other medical situations, or chronic and malignant pain.The treatment consists of a mini-computer-controlled infusion pump permitting the
