Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and gastroesophageal reflux disease are among the major causes of isolated esophageal eosinophilia. Isolated esophageal eosinophilia meeting criteria for EoE may respond to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. This entity is termed proton pumps inhibitor responsive esophageal eosinophilia (PPI-REE). Gastro-esophageal reflux is thought to comprise a subgroup of p...

A proportion of patients with chronic airflow limitation appear to have a raised resting energy expenditure (REE). This has been suggested as the reason for weight loss which may occur in these patients. A previous study found an increased REE in patients with interstitial lung disease of mixed aetiology. We were interested in studying REE in a more homogeneous group, with cryptogenic fibrosing...

Marine microbialites serve as robust seawater rare earth element and yttrium (REE+Y) proxies through many intervals of Earth history, but questions remain about the partitioning of REEs into different coeval carbonate phases, potential syn-depositional contaminants and elemental redistribution during diagenesis. Microbial carbonates, cements and background sediments were analysed for stable iso...

The relationship between resting energy expenditure (REE) and metabolically active fat-free mass (FFM) is a cornerstone in the study of physiological aspects of body weight regulation and human energy requirements. Important questions, however, remain unanswered regarding the observed linear REE-FFM association in adult humans. This led us to develop a series of REE-body composition models that...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between sleep disordered breathing severity and resting energy expenditure (REE). DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING University-based academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred twelve adults with signs or symptoms of sleep disordered breathing underwent medical history, physical examination, level I attended polysomnography, and determination of RE...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Whereas hypothyroid subjects have a decreased resting energy expenditure (REE), it is unknown whether REE is associated with TSH in euthyroid subjects. It is also uncertain whether there is an association between cardiometabolic risk factors and TSH among euthyroid subjects. The primary aim was to test whether REE and TSH are associated in euthyroid subjects. The second aim wa...

ODP Site 762 (eastern Indian Ocean) includes a section of sediment that spans the Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary (CTB) and was deposited along a continental margin during a period of widespread oceanic 09. deficiency. The rare earth element (REE) content of preand post-boundary sediment is similar to that of present-day continental slope material deposited in well-oxygenated seawater, whereas the...

Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured in 15 burned children with the doubly labeled water technique. Application of the technique in burned children required evaluation of potential errors resulting from nutritional intake altering background enrichments during studies and from the high rate of water turnover relative to CO2 production. Five studies were discarded because of these potenti...
