Background/Aims: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with Ear Defenders renal infarction.Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted from January 2005 to December 2013.Baseline and clinical characteristics of the enrolled patients wi
A low-complexity multi-antenna relaying scheme is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in the presence of Class-A Impulsive Noise (IN).One way and two way relaying are considered.The signal is transmitted Hitting Strip and received by two terminal nodes, each with a single antenna in two time phases.In the proposed design,
The complexity Tea Tree of flashing flows is increased vastly by the interphase heat transfer as well as its coupling with mass and momentum transfers.A reliable heat transfer coefficient is the key in the modelling of such kinds of flows with the two-fluid model.An extensive literature survey on computational modelling of flashing flows has been g
Abstract Background Empirically derived food purchase patterns provide information about which combinations of foods were purchased from households.The objective of this study was to identify what kinds of patterns exist, which level of diet quality they represent and which factors are associated with the patterns.Methods The study made use of repr
BackgroundThe concept of "prehabilitation," or optimising individual physical and mental wellbeing prior to surgery is well established in cancer and orthopaedic populations.However, amongst the cardiac surgery population, the concept is relatively new.Of the few studies available, all focus on the elective surgical population.This pilot feasibilit
