I'm fed up and I won't take it (Medicaid) anymore.

Fed Up! Winning the War Against Childhood Obesity

Background: The maximum likelihood estimator of D' – a standard measure of linkage disequilibrium – is biased toward disequilibrium, and the bias is particularly evident in small samples and rare haplotypes. Results: This paper proposes a Bayesian estimation of D' to address this problem. The reduction of the bias is achieved by using a prior distribution on the pair-wise associations between s...

Eighteen-month follow-up of infants fed evaporated milk formula.

In parts of Canada including Newfoundland and Labrador and among Aboriginal peoples, infants still consume evaporated milk (EM) formulas for cultural and economic reasons. At 3 and 6 months, full-term infants fed EM (n = 30) received low intakes of iron, thiamine, selenium and had higher weight velocity than breastfed (BF, n = 29) infants. EM infants had greater anemia, lowered transketolase ac...

Power Factor Correction Using Step-Up Chopper Fed to a DC Motor Drive

With the expanding interest for power from the ac line and more stringent cutoff points for power quality, power factor correction is extraordinary consideration as of late. An assortment of circuit topologies and control strategies has been created for the PFC application. While the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) converters for example, boost and fly back converters are appropriate for lo...

Up-regulation of liver glucose-6-phosphatase in rats fed with a P(i)-deficient diet.

Because P(i) deprivation markedly affects the Na/P(i) co-transporter in kidney and has been related to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, the effect of a P(i)-deficient diet on the liver microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) system was investigated. Rats were fed with a control diet (+P(i)) or a diet deficient in phosphate (-P(i)) for 2 days and killed on the morning of the third d...
