Abstract Objectives Oral sensory, communication, and feeding issues are frequently observed to co-occur in autistic children. The study attempted explore the association between oral sensory deficits, feeding, communication deficits Methods Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS), Child Sensory Profile 2 (SP-2), Communication Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Infant/Toddler C...

conclusions the prevalence of predominant breastfeeding during the first month postpartum is high in shahroud. interventions to strengthen adherence to who guidelines for breastfeeding should be considered. breastfeeding education providers at the hospitals should emphasize the effects of formula on breastfeeding continuation at early postpartum. background the introduction of fluids to infants...

objective about 1 % of infants are of very low birth weight. however, they comprise about 50% of infant mortality. we compare the effects of continuous versus intermittent feeding on physical growth, gastrointestinal tolerance and macronutrient retention in low birth weight infants (methods a prospective randomized trial clinical trial was performed from 2004-2005. very low birth weight neonate...

Dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was shown to increase the level of saturated fatty acids in egg yolk, alter interior egg quality, and induce embryo mortality in fertile eggs. Since CLA may soon be used as an animal feed supplement, the objective of this study was to determine if feeding chickens tallow from beef cattle fed a CLA-supplemented diet would induce embryo mortality and cause c...

An experiment was conducted in nine 200-m2 earthen ponds at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand from 17 July 2003 to 3 March 2004 (230 days). The objectives of the study were to assess the feasibility of co-culture of lotus and hybrid catfish in intensively fed ponds, to assess nutrient recovery from feed waste by lotus plants, to assess pond mud characteristics after lotus-fish c...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) has been recognized as a feasible option for ethanol production from xylose-rich lignocellulosic materials. To reach high ethanol concentration in the broth, a high content of water-insoluble solids (WIS) is needed, which creates mixing problems and, furthermore, may decrease xylose uptake. Feeding of substrate has already been...

Mice raised on a coconut oil (CO)-containing diet for 6 wk prior to the addition of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) are more sensitive to CLAinduced body fat loss than mice raised on a soy oil (SO)-containing diet. Coconut oil is deficient in essential fatty acids. However the addition of linoleic acid to a CO-containing diet did not alter the enhanced sensitivity to CLA. The objective of this s...

objective: although in vitro studies have shown that high concentrations of glucose can induce dysmorphogenesis of the embryonic kidney, the possible adverse effects of exposure to intrauterine hyperglycemia on kidney development, especially in regard to nephrogenesis, has not been evaluated. the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of maternal diabetes on glomeruli structures of the...

The concentrations of various trace elements and radionuclides have been measured in marine protein concentrates prepared from surface feeding fishes. As with concentrates prepared from benthic fishes, the 210Pb-210Po pair are the most significant radionuclides present. Concentrations of stable Pb, Co and Ag in certain concentrates are sufficiently high to contribute substantially to estimated ...
