Semipurified glycerins on starting piglets feeding‏ (15-30 kg)

Antipyretic efficacy of an initial 30-mg/kg loading dose of acetaminophen versus a 15-mg/kg maintenance dose.

OBJECTIVE To compare the antipyretic efficacy of an initial 30-mg/kg acetaminophen loading dose versus a 15-mg/kg maintenance dose. METHODS A double-blind, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial was conducted. A total of 121 febrile (rectal temperature between 39 degrees C and 40 degrees C) but otherwise healthy outpatients who were 4 months to 9 years of age and weighed 4 to 26 kg were as...

John Baez, Computations and the periodic table By now there is an extensive network of interlocking analogies between physics, topology, logic and computer science, which can be seen most easily by comparing the roles that symmetric monoidal closed categories play in each subject. However, symmetric monoidal categories are just the n = 1, k = 3 entry of a hypothesized ”periodic table” of k-tupl...

Feeding weaned piglets and growing -

In 2000, EU regulations for organic animal production set new guidelines for organic pig feeding requiring that this be based on mainly home-grown organic feedstuffs. Doubts were however raised whether these feeding regimes can maintain good growth performance and carcass quality of pigs. Three experiments were carried out to study different organic feeding regimes in weaned piglets and fatteni...

a 30 mg/kg loading dose of acetaminophen was more effective than a 15 mg/kg maintenance dose in febrile children.

CSACI position statement: epinephrine auto-injectors and children < 15 kg

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is the treatment of choice for anaphylaxis. While other medications, including H1-antihistamines, H2-antihistamines, corticosteroids, and inhaled beta-2 agonists are often used to treat anaphylaxis in the emergency setting, none of these medications has been shown to reverse anaphylaxis. Fatal anaphylaxis is related to the delayed use of epinephrine. In community settin...
