TL;DR: Why slums are unhealthy places with especially high risks of infection and injury is discussed and it is shown that children are especially vulnerable, and that the combination of malnutrition and recurrent diarrhoea leads to stunted growth and longer-term effects on cognitive development.

TL;DR: There is evidence that IVF outcomes may be improved by performing FET compared with fresh embryo transfer, and this could be explained by a better embryo-endometrium synchrony achieved with endometrium preparation cycles.

TL;DR: The developed models proved to accurately represent the PLLs under real test conditions and are presented, providing a refined method for performance evaluation and comparison.
Abstract: In this paper, the performance assessment of three software single-phase phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithms is carried out by means of dynamic analysis and experimental results. Several line disturbances such as phase-angle jump, voltage sag, frequency step, and harmonics are generated by a DSP together with a D/A converter and applied to each PLL. The actual minus the estimated phase-angle values are displayed, providing a refined method for performance evaluation and comparison. Guidelines for parameters adjustments are also presented. In addition, practical implementation issues such as computational delay effects, ride-through, and computational load are addressed. The developed models proved to accurately represent the PLLs under real test conditions.

TL;DR: To minimize the impact of population aging on health services, it is proposed that effective programs covering the control of degenerative diseases and the prevention of their complications should be implemente - for the elderly population too.
Abstract: Sao analizadas as caracteristicas atuais e as perspectivas dos processos de transicao demografica e epidemiologica no Brasil. Foram utilizados os resultados do censo demografico de 1991 e 1996 e Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicilios (PNAD) de 1993 e 1995, de novas projecoes populacionais, e de recentes estudos sobre o perfil socioeconomico e de saude de idosos de tres grandes capitais brasileiras. Embora se estime que a proporcao de idosos devera duplicar ate 2050, alcancando 15% do total da populacao, doencas cronico-degenerativas e disturbios mentais ja tem determinado, atualmente, macica utilizacao dos servicos de saude. O desenvolvimento de doencas, incapacidades e dependencia tem sido mais frequentes dentre aqueles de baixa renda que, no entanto, nao tem conseguido garantir a assistencia social e de saude que demandam. Acoes preventivas devem ser coordenadas por unidades basicas de saude, priorizando necessidades locais. E imprescindivel o investimento imediato na saude, educacao e formacao tecnica dos jovens, nos programas de apoio aos familiares e na manutencao de idosos em atividades produtivas adequadas.

TL;DR: These evidence-based guidelines from the American Society of Hematology intend to support patients, clinicians, and others in decisions about preventing VTE in medical inpatients and outpatients with minor injuries and long-distance travelers.
