OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess changes in menstrual pattern, quality of life, and patient satisfaction after thermal balloon ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding.
To exclude the possibility of systematic bias introduced by differences in spot pattern quality, mean standard deviations of spot volumes were compared between all groups.
This complication is a multifactorial event affected by a number of variables including patient' age, bone quality, fracture pattern, quality of reduction, lag screw positioning in the femoral head, implant design and the choice of CCD-nail angle [ 1, 8].
In addition, it was found that the PDMS stamp can well tolerate the dilute acid etchant, which implies that the soft stamp can be reused multiple times without noticeable decrease in patterning quality [18].
Breast cancer treatment guidelines are not uniformly followed in clinical practice, with evidence for substantial variations in treatment patterns, quality of care, and patient outcomes among and within countries.
We analyze the relationship between urban landscape ecological pattern and water quality in three landscape zones.
One night of therapy with ASV improved the nocturnal breathing pattern and sleep quality in patients with HF and CSA/CSR.
The integration of GPS based cattle distribution patterns with forage quality in a GIS showed that cattle locations significantly clustered in areas of high forage quality.
Understanding the relationships between land use patterns and water quality in low-order streams is useful for effective landscape planning to protect downstream water quality.
Using GIS tools, the landscape pattern index method was proposed to compare the landscape patterns of Baiyangdian Watershed in 2002 and 2007, determine the transformation rules of landscape essential factors, and analyze the correlation between the changes of landscape patterns and water quality in Baiyangdian Watershed.
