TURNING CONCEPTUAL SYSTEMS MAPS INTO DYNAMIC SIMULATION MODELS: AN AUSTRALIAN CASE STUDY FOR DIABETES IN PREGNANCY.

Turning conceptual systems maps into dynamic simulation models: An Australian case study for diabetes in pregnancy.

BACKGROUND:System science approaches are increasingly used to explore complex public health problems.Quantitative methods, such as participatory dynamic simulation modelling, can mobilise knowledge to inform health policy decisions.However, the analytic and practical steps required to turn collaboratively developed, qualitative seat slider system m

Taurine inhibits acute ammonia-induced oxidative stress, immune response, and apoptosis of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) during keep-live transport

Ammonia is thought to be the main chemical contaminant that stresses fish during keep-live transport.Taurine has antioxidant properties.This research investigated the Collections oxidative stress, immune response, and apoptosis of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) during keep-live transport, and the alleviation effect of taurine.The findin

Status of diagnosis and therapy of abdominal aortic aneurysms

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are characterized by localized dilation of the abdominal aorta.They are associated with several serious consequences, including compression of adjacent abdominal organs, pain, treatment-related financial expenditure.The main complication of AAA is aortic rupture, which is responsible for about 200,000 deaths Mop Wr

Increasing impact of North Atlantic Ocean circulation on sedimentary processes along the passive Galicia Margin (NW Spain) over the past 40 million years

Off the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula, the vigorous bottom-current regime interacts with a complex seafloor topography inside the Galicia Interior Basin (GIB), which was tectonically shaped during the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean basin in Cretaceous times.The evolving North Atlantic Ocean circulation determined the depositional pattern of t
