Depression in End-Stage Renal Disease : Current Advances and Research
(2010)Depression or the presence of significant depressive symptoms remains common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It is thought that 20–30% of ESRD patients have significant depressive symptoms, although there ... -
Depression of tetanic force induced by loaded shortening of frog muscle fibres
(1993-07)1. Single fibres isolated from the anterior tibialis muscle of Rana temporaria were allowed to shorten against a high load during a 2.5-4.0 s fused tetanus (1-3 degrees C) and the maximum force produced at the short length ... -
Depression on dialysis
(2008)Depression is the most common psychopathological condition among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet it is still under-recognized and misdiagnosed. Depression reduces quality of life and has a negative clinical ... -
Depression symptoms and the perception of public health restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia: The protective effect of sense of control
(2022-08-01)The psychological impact of public health restrictions may play a role in the increased depression levels reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Data further suggest that people's sense of personal control has been ... -
Depression Symptoms in Haemodialysis Patients Predict All-Cause Mortality but Not Kidney Transplantation : A Cause-Specific Outcome Analysis
(2017-07-31)Background: Depression is common in haemodialysis (HD) patients and associated with poor outcomes. Purpose: To evaluate whether depression symptoms predict survival and transplantation in a large sample of haemodialysis ... -
Depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life : Moderating role of interpersonal needs among university students
(2022-09-28)Depression, anxiety, and stress are ranked among the top mental health concerns faced by university students in recent times perpetuated by the proliferation of digitalization. Thus, this study was performed to assess the ... -
Depressive realism and outcome density bias in contingency judgements : the effect of the context and inter-trial interval
(2005)The perception of the effectiveness of instrumental actions is influenced by depressed mood. Depressive realism (DR) is the claim that depressed people are particularly accurate in evaluating instrumentality. In two ... -
Depressive realism and the effect of intertrial interval on judgements of zero, positive, and negative contingencies
(2007)In three experiments we tested how the spacing of trials during acquisition of zero, positive, and negative response-outcome contingencies differentially affected depressed and nondepressed students' judgements. Experiment ... -
Depth-enhanced mobile robot teleguide based on laser images
(2010)3D stereoscopic visualization may provide a user with higher comprehension of remote environment in teleoperation when compared to 2D viewing. Works in the literature have addressed the contribution of stereo vision to ... -
Deregulation, ownership and profit performance of banks: evidence from India
(2008)This article studies the effects of deregulation on the banking industry in an emerging economy using profit-based measures of performance. Using panel data of 83 Indian banks belonging to different ownership groups for ... -
Derivation and validation of a new global method for assessing nutritional status in patients with cirrhosis
(2006)Accurate assessments of nutritional status are difficult to obtain in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to devise and validate a global nutritional assessment scheme for use in this patient population. ... -
Derivation of the action and symmetries of the q-deformed AdS5×S5 superstring
(2014-10)We recently proposed an integrable q-deformation of the AdS5 × S 5 superstring action. Here we give details on the hamiltonian origin and construction of this deformation. The procedure is a generalization of the one ... -
Derivative-ratio spectrophotometric method for the determination of ternary mixture of aspirin, paracetamol and salicylic acid
(2007)A derivative spectrophotometric method was developed for the assay of a ternary mixture of aspirin (ASP), paracetamol (PAR) and salicylic acid (SAL). The method is based on the use of the first and second derivatives of ... -
Deriving star formation histories from photometry using energy balance spectral energy distribution modelling
(2015-10-21)Panchromatic spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting is a critical tool for determining the physical properties of distant galaxies, such as their stellar mass and star formation rate. One widely used method is the ... -
Dermabrasion - a novel concept in the surgical management of sulphur mustard injuries
(2000-02)Since its first use on the battlefields of Northern France during the First World War (1914-1918), sulphur mustard has remained a significant chemical threat to military forces around the world. Progress towards an effective ... -
Dermal and transdermal drug delivery systems : Current and future prospects
(2006)The protective function of human skin imposes physicochemical limitations to the type of permeant that can traverse the barrier. For a drug to be delivered passively via the skin it needs to have adequate lipophilicity and ... -
Des pieces de monnaie au cadenas : Un spectre des depots contemporains
(2018-12-01)Ritual deposition is as much a feature of the present as it was of the past. In fact, it could be argued that it is a more widespread feature, with folk assemblies emerging prolifically worldwide. From roadside memorials ... -
