Jejunal biopsy in infants and underweight children.
Peroral biopsy of the small bowel mucosa in infants and small children has recently come under serious criticism, and has been adjudged a difficult and hazardous procedure unwarranted in the routine investigation of childhood coeliac disease (Sheldon and Tempany, 1966). The main reasons for this were (1) a failure rate of 35% and (2) a significant risk of perforation or haemorrhage. The perfora...
متن کاملThe basal metabolism of the newborn calf.
The first measurements of the basal metabolism of the young calf were reported by Brody (1930), who used the indirect calorimetric method of measuring oxygen consumption by means of a closed-circuit spirometer. Determinations were made on forty-three calves of less than 3 weeks of age but most of the values obtained were restricted to ages of 10-21 days. No definite trends during the first 3 we...
متن کاملThe geographical distribution of underweight children in Africa.
OBJECTIVE To study geographical patterns of underweight children in Africa by combining information on prevalence with headcounts at a subnational level. METHODS We used large-scale, nationally representative nutrition surveys, in particular the Demographic and Health Surveys and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, which have been designed, analysed and presented according to largely simi...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Glucose Metabolism in Underweight Japanese Women
Context Japanese women have substantially lower body mass index (BMI) than women in other developed countries. The BMI of Japanese women has steadily decreased over time. However, glucose metabolism in underweight Japanese women has not been fully characterized. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate glucose metabolism and the physical characteristics of underweight Japanese women...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Basal Metabolism
Superficial observations have led us to the general belief that the vital processes are much the same with average individuals. It is true that we are inclined to classify people as high-strung and nervous on the one hand and phlegmatic on the other; yet, on the average, the normal individual apparently has a metabolic plane comparable to his neighbor’s, for the general uniformity in the energy...
