Sonographic determination of liver and spleen sizes in patients with sickle cell disease at Gombe, Nigeria

CHRISMED Journal of Health and Research, 2018
Background: Ultrasonography is a safe, reproducible, and accurate diagnostic imaging modality in the evaluation of the effects of sickle cell anemia (SCA) on the sizes of liver and spleen. The study is aimed at determining the size of liver and spleen in

Electric field noise above surfaces: a model for heating rate scaling law in ion traps [PDF]

, 2008
We present a model for the scaling laws of the electric field noise spectral density as a function of the distance, $d$, above a conducting surface. Our analytical approach models the patch potentials by introducing a correlation length, $\zeta$, of the ...

Molecular theory of hydrophobic mismatch between lipids and peptides

, 2001
Effects of the mismatch between the hydrophobic length, d, of transmembrane alpha helices of integral proteins and the hydrophobic thickness, D_h, of the membranes they span are studied theoretically utilizing a microscopic model of lipids. In particular,

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...
