The objectives of this study were to: (1) examine the frequency of sharps injuries, and (2) assess the adequacy, understanding, and use of post-exposure protocols within a sample of the nursing staff at a busy tertiary care emergency department in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
Alternatively, the similarity among some RABVs circulating in dogs in China and international vaccine strains (34 ) should motivate health authorities in China to revisit quality standards and adequacy for use of attenuated rabies vaccines to ensure that vaccine-related cases do not occur.
Secondary objectives were to examine the relationship, if any, between specific markers of vitamin adequacy and: 1) the use of vitamin supplements, 2) the use of drugs that alter gastric acid secretion, 3) cognitive function as measured by performance on the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE).
To check model adequacy, the use of dispersion and deviance is often used.
Although early use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials in critically ill patients may increase antimicrobial adequacy, uncontrolled use of these agents may select for more-resistant organisms.
We also collected data regarding the adequacy and perceived ease of use of the technique.
Broadly speaking, measurement theory sets out to (i) identify the assumptions underlying the use of various mathematical structures for describing aspects of the empirical world, and (ii) draw lessons about the adequacy and limits of using these mathematical structures for describing aspects of the empirical world.
These sites were analyzed for accessibility, relevance, authenticity, adequacy, and accountability by use of a specially designed questionnaire.
Technical quality of root canal fillings was evaluated based on adequacy and homogeneity using the criteria of Unal et al., [ 11].
Results revealed significant between workplace variations for psychological distress (χ=26.51 df 1 p<.01; rho=0.02), depression (χ=3.96 df 1 p<.05; rho=0.02), emotional exhaustion (χ=27.74 df 1 p<.01; rho=0.05), and well-being (χ=29.73 df 1 p<.01; rho=0.05), which supported the adequacy of the use of further multilevel modelling.
