Introduction: Medical errors or negligence is leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries.Preventive and corrective measures can help in reduction of such events thus causing less damage and economic loss.Material and Methods: This was an observational study carried out mainly in emergency and intensive care settings.We could focus o
Chickpea flour is known to have good nutritional values.Nevertheless, it is commonly made from ground grains, and characterized by an “off-flavor”.Processing of chickpea grains before flour formation reduces the intensity of the off-flavor.Therefore, two experiments were conducted: first to examine the effect of conventional processing
Fluorescence-based DNA readouts are increasingly important in biological research, owing to enhanced analytical sensitivity and multiplexing capability.In this study, we characterize an in-gel polymerase elongation process to understand the reaction kinetics and transport limitations, and we evaluate DNA sequence design to develop signal amplificat
Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved.However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been recognised for some decades to affect the design of antivenoms.Despite this, within-species venom variation and the unpredictab
More than 70% of all old-age pensions in Latvia are smaller than 300 euro, which is close to the monetary value of the at-risk-of-poverty threshold.There is a number of reasons for it: the lack of non-contributory component and inadequately yn rating badge low minimum pensions, the absence of redistribution mechanisms in the mandatory notional defi
