The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of each additive [FeSO4, multivitamin (MTV), and vitamin E] on the postprandial osmolality of expressed breast milk (EBM) at 0, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. Babies born at Songklanagarind Hospital from 1 August, 2005 to 31 December, 2006 were studied; EBM was collected from mothers with a child born at an estimated gestational age less than 32 wee...

Vincristine (VCR) is a vinca alkaloid that is used for treatment of many malignancies. The vinca alkaloids are neurotoxic, usually causing a peripheral neuropathy, but cranial neuropathies are rare as side effects. Described here is the case of a 2.5-year-old boy, a known case of Wilms' tumor, treated by vincristine (0.067 mg/kg/day) and dactinomycin (0.045 mg/kg/day) after surgery. Three weeks...

leptin is a hormone, which is secreted from fat tissue, has an important role to set cell metabolism and energy balance. the present study aims at the effect of twelve weeks high intensity interval training (hiit) on leptin level and obesity dependent factors among female students suffering overweight. in this semi-experimental study, twenty four students with bmi of 25-30 kg/m2 were selected p...

The accuracy prediction for the crop yield is conducive to food security in regions and/or nations. To some extent, model yields combining mechanism with statistical regression (SRM) can improve timeliness and robustness of final prediction. In this study, accumulated biomass (AB) simulated by Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) multiple climate indices (e.g., suitability extreme ...

OBJECTIVE Haemodynamic variations are inevitable during induction of anaesthetic drugs. The present study investigates the haemodynamic variations of three different drugs (thiopental, propofol, and etomidate) used for induction of general anaesthesia together with fentanyl. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind study, 45 patients were assigned to one of three groups (n=15 each). Fentanyl 1 μ...

BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis and opisthorchiasis are of public health importance in Southeast Asia. Praziquantel (PZQ) is the drug of choice for morbidity control but few dose comparisons have been made. METHODOLOGY Ninety-three schoolchildren were enrolled in an area of Lao PDR where Schistosoma mekongi and Opisthorchis viverrini coexist for a PZQ dose-comparison trial. Prevalence and intensit...

Shoot extension of Rhododendron ‘Sir Robert Peel’ was reduced, but flowering was more precocious after treatment of plants with paclobutrazol. All of the drench rates tested (0.05 to 0.4 g a.i./pot) proved excessive and resulted in prolonged shoot growth reduction but greatly increased the number of flowers. However, flowers produced at the higher drench rates were grossly malformed and unaccep...

in order to study a the effect of different levels of ammonium sulfate on photosynthesis pigments, essential oil content and components in summer savory, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with five treatments and three replications on karaj climate conditions. the treatments included five levels of ammonium sulfate consist of: control (without fertiliz...
