3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) is frequently prescribed to patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. After absorption, AZT is rapidly metabolized into 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5'-glucuronylthymidine by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes. Using labeled [(14)C]UDP-glucuronic acid and microsomal preparations from human kidney 293 cells stably expressing the different human UGT2B i...

OBJECTIVE Maternal glycaemia and anthropometry-derived newborn adiposity are strongly correlated. The children of mothers with diabetes are at greater risk of adverse metabolic health, and increased adiposity is a plausible mediator. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare adiposity in infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) and infants of mothers without diabetes (NIDM). DESI...

We are interested in the nearly supercritical regime a family of max-type recursive models studied by Collet, Eckman, Glaser and Martin (Comm. Math. Phys. 94 (1984) 353–370) Derrida Retaux (J. Stat. 156 (2014) 268–290) prove that, under suitable integrability assumption on initial distribution, free energy vanishes at transition with an essential singularity exponent 12. This gives weaker answe...

Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time periods (i.e. short time period: annual ch...

introduction: osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease and several factors are involved in development and progression of the disease. the aim of this study was to increase our understanding of the relation between age, weight, bmi, postmenopausal age and bone mineral density in post menopause women. methods: 240 azarbaijani women aged 50-70 years having inclusion criteria were recruited. bone ...

background abo blood groups are associated with some important chronic diseases. obesity as a major risk factor of chronic non-communicable diseases is rising rapidly in iran as well as in developing countries. understanding the risks for obesity is important for its control. this study seeks to determine if there is any association between abo blood groups and body mass index (bmi). materials ...

Power system inertia is an essential part of grid frequency control. The number synchronously connected machines, which inherently provide inertia, decreasing due to the transition renewable energies. Conventional generation units are being replaced by via converters. Some power systems already suffer from too little inertia. Hence, a valuable yet non-traded commodity. A day-ahead dispatch meth...
