Numerical methods for approximating eigenvalues of boundary value problems
(1986-1-1)This paper describes some new finite difference methods for the approximation of eigenvalues of a two point boundary value problem associated with a fourth order linear differential equation of the type (py″)′′−(qy′)′+(r−λs)y=0. ... -
Finite difference methods for computing eigenvalues of fourth order boundary value problems
(1986-1-1)This brief report describes some new finite difference methods of order 2 and 4 for computing eigenvalues of a two point boundary value problem associated with a fourth order linear differential equation y(4)+(p(x)−λq(x))y=0. ... -
Two new finite difference methods for computing eigenvalues of a fourth order linear boundary value problem
(1987-1-1)This paper describes some new finite difference methods of order 2 and 4 for computing eigenvalues of a two-point boundary value problem associated with a fourth order differential equation of the form (py″)′′+(q−λr)y=0. ... -
Erythromycin-Resistant Group G Streptococci in an Isolated Northern Canadian Community
(1990-1-1)The susceptibility of groups A, C, and G streptococci isolated from pharynx or skin in two northern Canadian native communities during a one year study of the epidemiology of streptococcal infection was determined for ... -
Epiglottitis in Canada: A Multiregional Review
(1990-1-1)Epiglottitis is an acute, life threatening infection usually caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. Although antibiotic therapy is an important part of management, the optimal route and duration is unknown. A multicentre ... -
Comparison of Norfloxacin Versus Nalidixic Acid in Therapy of Acute Urinary Tract Infections
(1990-1-1)Thirty-seven adult patients with acute urinary tract infections (UTI) were randomized to receive either a seven day (lower UTI) or a 14 day (upper UTI) course of norfloxacin 400 mg orally twice daily, or nalidixic acid 1 ... -
The Rapid Emergence of High Level Gentamicin Resistance in Enterococci
(1990-1-1)The proportion of enterococci isolated from blood and urine cultures that were highly resistant to gentamicin and streptomycin were determined. No blood or urine isolates highly resistant to gentamicin were seen in 1983, ... -
Effectiveness and Cost-Benefit of an Influenza Vaccination Program for Health Care Workers
(1991-1-1)This study retrospectively reviewed the effectiveness of a vaccination program for hospital workers in a large tertiary care hospital, quantified influenza-induced absenteeism, and examined the factors determining the costs ... -
Prevalence of Antibody to Hepatitis C Virus in an Isolated Canadian Inuit Settlement
(1991-1-1)Sera from 720 inhabitants of Baker Lake, Northwest Territories, a community with high rates of hepatitis A and B infection, were tested for antibody to hepatitis C virus by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ... -
Heterosexual Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection – Strategies for Prevention
(1991-1-1)In Canada, over 90% of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome cases diagnosed so far have been acquired sexually, with an increasing proportion made up of heterosexual contacts of high risk individuals. In multiple studies, ... -
Pyuria in Institutionalized Elderly Subjects
(1991-1-1)Two hundred and forty-three urine specimens from 76 elderly institutionalized residents were obtained for urine culture, quantitative leukocyte count and urinalysis. Significant bacteriuria was present in 153 specimens ... -
Overview of Pyrexia

Differences between Infected and Noninfected Patients with Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis
(1992-1-1)The medical records of 97 patients with alcoholic hepatitis, including 20 with coexisting bacterial infections and 77 with no evidence of bacterial infection, were reviewed to determine whether commonly employed tests would ... -
Sexually Transmitted Diseases: A Significant Complication of Childhood Sexual Abuse
(1992-1-1)The acquisition of one or more sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is a significant complication of sexual assault of children. The risk of infection by pathogens varies from less than 1 to 50% depending on the nature of ... -
Subinhibitory Antimicrobial Concentrations: A Review of In Vitro and In Vivo Data
(1992-1-1)Antimicrobial activity is not an ‘all or none’ effect. An increase in the rate and extent of antimicrobial action is usually observed over a wide range of antimicrobial concentrations. Subinhibitory antimicrobial concentrations ... -
Comparative Antifungal Activity of Cilofungin (LY121019) against Candida Species, Including Evaluation of Susceptibility Testing Method
(1992-1-1)The in vitro activity of cilofungin against 100 Candida species was compared with 5-flucytosine. amphotericin B and ketoconazole by two laboratories independently and in a blinded fashion using a macrotitre dilution broth ... -
Etiology of Cervicitis and Treatment with Minocycline
(1993-1-1)Objective: To evaluate the etiology of cervicitis using the recommended Canadian definition, and to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of seven days of minocycline treatment, 100 versus 200 mg at bedtime.Design: ...
