Abstract Millions of people worldwide, and Hubs especially schoolchildren, may be infected by geohelminths due to their exposure to a contaminated environment.The aim of this study was to evaluate soil contamination by Ancylostoma spp.and Toxocara spp.eggs in recreation areas at elementary schools in Pelotas, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.Sand
Effect of Stall Strip Position, Size and Geometry on the Lift Coefficient of NACA 001 Aerofoil
This study aims to determine the optimum position and geometry of stall strips (SS) to control sudden fall of lift in wind turbine blades.The type of airfoil used in this study is NACA 0015 with 150 mm of chord length.Total of five positions, two geometries and three sizes of SS configurations are simulated by using Ansys Fluent software.For positi
Trial sequential analysis of efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists against left ventricular thrombus
Abstract Meta-analysis may increase the risk of random errors.Trial sequential analysis (TSA) has been developed to adjust for these random errors.We conducted TSA on the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in left ventricular thrombus (LVT) patients in order to estimate how many additional pat
Rehabilitation and Social Determinants of Health in Critical Illness Recovery Literature: A Systematic Review
OBJECTIVES:.Patients who survive critical illness navigate arduous and disparate recovery pathways that include referrals and participation in community-based rehabilitation services.Examining rehabilitation pathways during recovery is crucial to understanding the relationship on patient-centered outcomes.Furthermore, an understanding of social det
A Method for Calculating Lower Extremity Anatomical Landmark Trajectories Based on Inertial Motion Capture Data
Anatomical landmark trajectories are commonly used to define joint coordinate systems in human kinematic analysis according to standards proposed by the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB).However, most inertial motion capture (IMC) studies focus only on joint angle measurement, which limits its application.Therefore, this paper proposes a
