Aim To evaluate final height in a cohort of Dutch childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and assess possible determinants of final height, including height at diagnosis. Patients and Methods We calculated standard deviation scores (SDS) for height at initial cancer diagnosis and height in adulthood in a cohort of 573 CCS. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to estimate the influence of d...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We studied the dynamics of extracellular brain tissue concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glutamate during the occurrence of spreading depolarizations (SDs) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS In this prospective observational study, patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage received multimodal cerebral monitoring, including...

The effects of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the optical transmittance, thermal, and rheological properties of methylcellulose (MC) aqueous solutions have been studied. The particular interest of this work was focused on the effects of SDS on the sol–gel transition of MC. Basically, two effects of SDS have been identified, which are the salt-out and salt-in effects at...

We have simulated sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant/waterþ bilayer graphene mixture system to investigate two mechanisms of graphene exfoliation: changing the interlayer distance and sliding away the relative distance. By calculating the total energy as a function of the interlayer (sliding-away) distance at different surface-coverage concentrations of SDS surfactant (SDS concentrations),...

BACKGROUND Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment in children is usually prescribed using actual body weight. This may result in inappropriately high doses in obese children. METHODS Retrospective audit of all paediatric patients treated with rhGH 2010-14 at a tertiary paediatric hospital in the UK. Change in height SDS and IGF-I SDS during the first year of treatment was stratifie...

. The kinetics of the reaction between potassium persulphate and potassium iodide has been studied iodometrically in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) at various surfactant concentrations. It is observed that from low concentrations up to the c.m.c, the surfactant behaves like a normal electrolyte exhibiting primary kinetic salt effect. In presence of micelles it is observed th...

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings on AZ91 Mg alloy were sealed in calcium nitrate solutions at different pH values (3, 4 and 5). Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was added to study the effect of SDS corrosion resistance coatings. The microstructure, chemical composition investigated by means SEM, XPS, XRD electrochemical tests. performance improved due precipitation Ca-containing precipi...

Starch digestibility may have an effect on the postprandial blood glucose profile. The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the relationship between Slowly Digestible Starch (SDS) levels and plasma glucose appearance and disappearance rates, as well as other parameters of glucose metabolism, after healthy subjects consumed cereal products that differed in SDS content. Three randomized contr...
