ABSTRACT Various mortality prognostic scoring system are available for predicting mortality risk in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The Pediatric Risk of Mortality III (PRISM III) scoring system is one of the main indicators used in the PICU. This study was conducted to evaluate the PRISM III as prognostic predictor in PICU. This was a cohort study involving 64 patients who a…

One of methods to obtain information about structure beneath the earth's surface is receiver function. The basic concept of receiver function method is to estimate of the Earth's crust depth using phase delay information from Ps wave which is a conversion from P wave reflection to S wave at the earth's crust-mantle boundary. The accuracy of the calculated depth was enhanced by using additional …
Ammonia and urea blood levels in premature infants during the first week of life were analyzed. Twenty seven blood samples from premature infants at the age of 1, 3 and 7 days were collected. The concentration of ammonia was determined using Amitest meter (TSUGAI), while the urea concentration was measured using regular techniques. Even through the ammonia levels did not exceed 180 ug/dl, the d…
