Nevertheless, SRS is limited by the unfavorable physical characteristics of In, reducing the detection of small lesions, especially in organs with physiologic tracer uptake such as the liver.
Candida species continue to be important fungal pathogens in the formation of biofilms in ICU patients and knowing drug susceptibility and virulence characteristics will help in reducing associated complications, device control strategies and consequently reducing morbidity, mortality and treatment costs.
Planning and design of coastal protection works like floating pipe breakwater require information about the performance characteristics of the structure in reducing the wave energy.
From this evidence, we find that the first most important characteristics of these interventions in reducing inequality is that they were all related to basic health care for pregnant women or children, including immunization and other preventive health services, treatment of common illnesses, nutrition education or direct nutrition supplements.
To determine the prevalence of workplace violence and explore the role of hospital organizational characteristics and health promotion efforts in reducing hospital violence among nurses in Taiwan.
The type of insulation contained in the specimen and its characteristics play a significant role in reducing heat transfer and material properties of insulating concrete (Narayanan and Ramamurthy 2000; Baetens et al. 2011; Chabannes et al. 2014; Binici et al. 2016).
Careful design of the envelope considering both thermal properties of construction and glazing characteristics is thus the first step in reducing energy demand from buildings.
While technical advancements in stent design and cerebral protection devices (CPD) may help reduce the procedural stroke risk, and anatomy remains important, tailoring stenting procedures according to plaque and lesion characteristics might be a useful strategy in reducing stroke associated with CAS.
The aims of this paper were to systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of active behaviour change safety interventions in the construction industry; and to determine the intervention characteristics most commonly associated with effectiveness in reducing injury rates and improving safety behaviour – intensity/frequency/duration, behaviour change techniques (BCTs) and theory-base.
The intervention and control groups were similar on a wide range of sociodemographic characteristics and the intervention was effective in reducing depression.
