Abstract:

s:1456:"Background: Participation of adolescents and young women in strenuous sports activity may lead to various metabolic and psychological derangements of clinical relevance to the endocrinologist. Materials and Methods: The most common manifestations encountered in practice are primary and secondaryamenorrhea, reduced bone mineral density and eating disorders. The occurrence of all three together has been named "the athletic triad". The underlying hormonal drivers that lead to some of these manifestations are the reduced leptin level as well as the persistent low grade stress response commonly observed in such females. Results: "Exercise-related female reproductive dysfunction" (ERFRD), can possibly include short-term (infertility) and long-term (osteoporosis) consequences. Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, a manifestation of ERFRD in adolescence, is an integrated response to the combination of excessive physical and emotional stress, exercise, and/or reduced food intake characterized by decreased endogenous GNRH secretion. Conclusion: The primary aim of treating these athletes should be the prevention of the development of any component of the triad as well as the whole complex by educating athletes, trainers, parents and health care professionals about proper nutrition and safe training. The long term prognosis is good. However, significant long term morbidity may affect these young women later in life.";

The question is to find 2A+H +N + S. If we add the first and the third equations in the system and subtract the second equation from the result we obtain 2A+H +N + S = 21 + 18− 25 = 14. 2. If f(x) = x + 6x + 12x+ 6, solve the equation f(f(f(x))) = 0. Answer: Note that f(x) = (x + 2) − 2. Thus f(f(x)) = ((x + 2) − 2 + 2) − 2 = (x + 2) − 2 and f(f(f(x))) = ( (x+ 2) − 2 + 2 )3 − 2 = (x+ 2) − 2. So...

Complexes of β-cylodextrin with five nucleotides of adenine (A), thymine (T) guanine (G), cytosine (C), and 5-methylcytosine have been investigated using Hatree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of different quality. This work was inspired by recent technological advances made in singlemolecule sequencing of DNA. One molecule of single-stranded DNA can be sequenced by u...
