Abstract It has been shown that there is a decrease in the concentrations of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with bushranger awning phenylketonuria (PKU) in their follow-up.Our objective was to determine concentrations of 25-OHD in subjects with PKU and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA).Transversal analytical study
Several high-voltage transmission towers failed under excessive wind loads in a mountainous and exposed area.This study discusses the efficient and reliable modeling here of lattice towers dominantly loaded by wind, a scenario which led to a collapse cascade in a high-voltage transmission line.The ultimate load-bearing capacity had to be estimated
Background: Visual analog scales (VAS) and numeric analog scales (NAS) are used to assess post-operative pain, but few studies indicate their usefulness in rural illiterate population in India.Aims: This study was designed to 1) Compare the impact of literacy on the ability to indicate pain rating on VAS and NAS in post-operative rural patients.2)
