Tyrosine (Tyr) is an essential amino acid in phenylketonuria (PKU) because of the limited hydroxylation of phenylalanine (Phe) to Tyr. The recommended intakes for Tyr in PKU are at least five times the recommended phenylalanine intakes. This suggests that Phe and Tyr contribute approximately 20 and 80%, respectively, of the aromatic amino acid (AAA) requirement (REQ). In animals and normal huma...

Although various techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss have been described, there is an absence of uniformity and consistency in their application. Furthermore, it is unclear whether these techniques compromise intraoperative tissue assessment and wound outcome. The purpose of this study ...

He considers that it is therefore a top priority for mankind to figure out how to imbue such a superintellige...
