OBJECTIVE: To develop an integrated health forecasting model as part of the International Futures (IFs) modelling system.METHODS: The IFs model begins with the historical relationships between economic and social development and cause-specific mortality used by the Global Burden of Disease project but builds forecasts from endogenous projections of
Solar Shading in Low Energy Office Buildings - Design Strategy and User Perception
The objective of this paper is to investigate the visual comfort and quality of daylight in modern office buildings in the Nordic climate.A study of various daylight-related aspects and qualities was carried out for three different office buildings, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods.The focus was on a combination of user p
Giant Post-traumatic Cyst after Motorcycle Injury: A Case Report with Review of the Pathogenesis
Post-traumatic cysts of soft tissue usually occur at the junction of the subcutaneous fat and deep fascia, CUP most often filled with serosanguinous fluid and lined with fibrous tissue.It appears as complication after severe injuries when crushing and shearing forces cause separation of the skin and subcutaneous fat from the deep fascia and muscle,
Functional Homology for Antibody-Dependent Phagocytosis Across Humans and Rhesus Macaques
Analyses of human clinical HIV-1 vaccine trials and preclinical vaccine studies performed in rhesus macaque (RM) models have identified associations between non-neutralizing Fc Receptor (FcR)-dependent antibody effector functions and reduced risk of infection.Specifically, antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADP) has emerged as a common correlate of r
