Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) and Extra Uterine Growth Retardation (EUGR) and provide more approaches for appropriate nutritional support for preterm infants. Methods: A total of 144 preterm infants (75 male and 69 female) were involved in this study. According to the relationship between gestational age...

In order to better understand the implications of physical activity and nutrition in child development, we conducted present narrative with aim analyze nutritional patterns related maturation development. To reach our study objective, a consensus critical review were by analyzing primary sources such as academic research secondary databases, web pages, bibliographic indexes following procedures...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between short-term nutritional adequacy received while in the ICU and long-term outcomes including 6-month survival and health-related quality of life in critically ill patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data prospectively collected in the context of a multicenter randomized controlled trial. SETTING An ...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a chronic low-intensity state of inflammation with metabolic alterations that, when acquired during childhood, lead to severe illness in adults. Encouraging healthy eating habits and physical activity is the basis for preventing and treating obesity and its complications. OBJECTIVE To evaluate how a comprehensive intervention promoting healthy eating habits and physical ...

AIMS to assess and compare nutritional status and functional capacity of elderly goers of groups for guided physical activity or for guided recreational activities. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 210 elderly (60 years old or more) of coexistence groups (for physical or recreational activities). Nutritional status was assessed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment and Body Mass Index. Muscle ...

The general stress regulon of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by σ(B), a transcription factor that is activated by physical or nutritional stress. In B. subtilis, each of these two stresses is communicated to the primary σ(B) regulators by distinct pathways. Physical stress activation of σ(B) involves a large-molecular-mass (>10(6)-Da) structure (stressosome) formed by one or more homologous pr...

The effects of some physical and nutritional parameters were studied for the optimum production of an extracellular enzyme hyaluronidase employing Streptococcus equi SED 9 by submerged fermentation. The effects of initial pH, incubation temperature and time, inoculum level and age of inoculum were studied. The maximum enzymatic activity was obtained with an initial pH 5.5, incubation temperatur...

Abstract. MAP estimators and HPD credible sets are often criticized in the literature because of paradoxical behaviour due to a lack of invariance under reparametrization. In this paper, we propose a new version of MAP estimators and HPD credible sets that avoid this undesirable feature. Moreover, in the special case of non-informative prior, the new MAP estimators coincide with the invariant f...

I propose a theory of the passive that combines aspects of the principles and parameters analysis (no specific rules, no downward movement) and Chomsky’s (1957) Syntactic Structures analysis (the arguments in the passive are generated in the same positions as they are in the active).
