steatocrit: a simple method for estimating stool fat content in newborn infants

چکیده
Resistance to DSCG in acute asthma is greater therefore, than to salbutamol. However, clinical observation suggests that resistance to beta-2 stimulants does also increase with severity of the attack. It would appear probable that only when severity exceeds the point at which measurements can be made with a peak flow meter does resistance to salbutamol become pronounced. Although placebo effects are greater in the attack than between attacks, again no information is available about attacks severe enough to prevent measurement using a peak flow meter.

متن کاملUsing the steatocrit to determine optimal fat content in modular feeds.
The steatocrit was measured in infants with protracted diarrhoea who were receiving intragastric modular feeds. Measurements were made when fat intake was constant to determine steatocrit variability and during increases in fat intake to determine fat tolerance limits. Steatocrit variability was expressed as the range between a subject's lowest and highest steatocrit value. The median between-s...
متن کاملSimple and noninvasive method for assessment of digestive efficiency: Validation of fecal steatocrit in greenfinch coccidiosis model
Animals' capability to absorb energy and nutrients from food poses a major internal constraint that affects the amount of resources available for allocation to maintenance, growth, signaling, and reproduction. Intestinal surface is the largest area of contact between immune system and microbial antigens; gut thus appears the main arena where trade-offs between immune function and other componen...
متن کاملComparing acid steatocrit and faecal elastase estimations for use in M-ANNHEIM staging for pancreatitis
AIM To compare two tests for exocrine pancreatic function (EPF) for use in M-ANNHEIM staging for pancreatitis. METHODS One hundred and ninety four consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis (AP; n = 13), recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP; n = 65) and chronic pancreatitis (CP; n = 116) were enrolled. EPF was assessed by faecal elastase-1 (FE-1) estimation and stool fat excretion by the acid ...
متن کاملScreening for biliary atresia by infant stool color card in Taiwan.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to detect biliary atresia (BA) in early infancy to prevent additional liver damage because of the delay of referral and surgical treatment and to investigate the incidence rate of BA in Taiwan. METHODS A pilot study to screen the stool color in infants for the early diagnosis of BA was undertaken from March 2002 to December 2003. We had designed an "infant stool color card"...
