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...

Sustainable development and project stakeholder management indicate a business practice where an organization strives to fulfil the demands of important stakeholders for project’s success. If one company relies on subassembly parts from its supplier, then it might be considered that has high interest enhancing continuity supplier. This issue become more complex during 2020 due turbulent conditi...

Swallowing disturbances (SDs), anxiety and depression are commonly present in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We hypothesized that there is an association between the presence of SDs and the PD affective state. Sixty-nine PD patients were assessed for the presence of SDs by undergoing cognitive screening with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), completing three inventories: a swallowin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate pattern of growth and skeletal maturation following growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with GH deficiency (GHD) with special emphasis on factors influencing outcome. METHODS Records of ninety-six children (67 boys, 29 girls) with GHD treated with GH for 2.3 +/-2.1 years were reviewed. RESULTS Height SDS at the end of treatment was significantly higher than that at...

Surfactant films on solid surfaces have attracted much attention because of their scientific interest and applications, such as surface treatment agent, or for micro- or nano-scale templates for microfluidic devices. In this study, anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions with various charged inorganic salts was spread on a glass substrate and dried to form an SDS thin film. At...
