 Low birth weight (LBW) infants (<2,500 g) continued to be a global health problem because of the associated short- and long-term adverse outcomes. The study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes of term LBW infants STUDY DESIGN  A prospective and case-control study. Bacterial inhibitor All infants born consecutively from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 were included. Cases, term LBW infants, were 11 matched to controls, appropriate for gestational age (AGA) term infants. Major congenital or chromosomal anomalies and multiple pregnancies were excluded.

 The prevalence of term LBW in the studied period was 4.8%. Mothers of term LBW infants had significantly lower body mass index (

 = 0.05), gained less weight (

 = 0.01), had a history of previous LBW (

 = 0.01), and lower monthly income (

 = 0.04) compared with mothers of term AGA infants even after adjustment for confounders. A nonsignificant higher number of term LBW infants needed NICU admission, while their need for phototherapy was deemed significant.

 We identified nutritional and socioeconomic maternal factors that are significantly associated with LBW infants and should be targeted during antenatal visits to improve neonatal outcomes.

· LBW infants (<2,500 g) are at risk of short- and long-term morbidities.. · Poor maternal nutritional and socioeconomic factors increase the risk of LBW infant.. · Targeting identified risk factors of LBW infant antenatally improve neonatal outcomes.

· LBW infants ( less then 2,500 g) are at risk of short- and long-term morbidities.. · Poor maternal nutritional and socioeconomic factors increase the risk of LBW infant.. · Targeting identified risk factors of LBW infant antenatally improve neonatal outcomes.

 To evaluate the clinicoradiologic conditions of patients with a herniated cervical disk who were treated with percutaneous endoscope-assisted cervical diskectomy.

 The medical data of 27 patients (16 men and 11 women; mean age 40.9 years) who were operated on with the posterior endoscope-assisted cervical diskectomy method were reviewed retrospectively. The mean follow-up was 35.1 months, and the patients were assessed with combined preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS), Prolo Functional Economic Outcome Rating scale, MacNab scale, and clinical imaging.

 The mean preoperative VAS level was 8.6 (range 7-10), and mean Prolo score was 2.5 (range 2-5). A postoperative assessment performed 1 week postsurgery found a mean VAS level of 2.1 (range 0-4). At the final examination, the mean VAS level was 0.81 (range 0-3), and the mean Prolo score was 4.5 (range 3-5). The final MacNab scale scores were 62.9%, excellent; 25.9%, good; 7.4%, moderate; and 3.7%, poor.

 Percutaneous endoscope-assisted cervical diskectomy is a suitable and effective treatment method for soft cervical disk herniation.

Because medical treatments for the virus are still emerging and a vaccine is not yet available, state and local governments have sought to limit its spread by enacting various social distancing interventions such as school closures and lockdown, but the effectiveness of these interventions is unknown. We applied an established, semi-mechanistic Bayesian hierarchical model of these interventions on SARS-CoV-2 spread in Europe to the United States, using case fatalities from February 29, 2020 up to April 25, 2020, when some states began reversing their interventions. We estimated the effect of interventions across all states, contrasted the estimated reproduction number, Rt, for each state before and after lockdown, and contrasted predicted future fatalities with actual fatalities as a check on the model's validity. Overall, school closures and lockdown are the only interventions modeled that have a reliable impact on Rt, and lockdown appears to have played a key role in reducing Rt below 1.0. We conclude that reversal of lockdown, without implementation of additional, equally effective interventions, will enable continued, sustained transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States.In the present study, by using double self-activated CsI detectors, the development of a neutron dosemeter system whose response indicates better agreement with the International Commission on Radiological Protection-74 rem-response was carried out to simply evaluate the neutron dose with high accuracy. The present double neutron dosemeter system, using a slow-neutron dosemeter (thermal to 10 keV) and a fast-neutron dosemeter (above 10 keV), consists of CsI scintillators wrapped with two types of neutron energy filtering materials polyethylene and B4C silicon rubber. After optimization of each filter thickness, to confirm the validity of our method, the neutron ambient dose equivalents under several operating conditions of medical linear accelerators (Linacs) were evaluated using a Monte Carlo simulation and an experiment with the present dosemeter. From these results, the present dosimetry system has enabled a more accurate neutron dose evaluation than our conventional dosemeter, and the present dosemeter was suitable for the neutron dosimetry for 10 MV Linac environments.Proposed physical dosimetry methods for emergency dosimetry in radiological, mass-casualty incidents include both thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). Potential materials that could feasibly be used for TL and OSL dosimetry include clothing, shoes and personal accessories. However, the most popular target of study has been personal electronics, especially different components from smartphones. Smartphones have been a focus because they are widely available and, in principle, may be viewed as surrogates for commercial TL or OSL dosimeters. The components of smartphones that have been studied include surface mount devices (such as resistors, capacitors and inductors) and glass materials, including front protective glass, display glass and (with more modern devices) back protective glass. This paper reviews the most recent developments in the use of TL and OSL with these materials and guides the way to future, and urgently needed, research.
