Introduction Children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) have significantly lower levels of physical activity compared to their peers without ID. Association between the level of physical activity and screen time with hypertension (HPT) in children and adolescents with ID has not been reported yet. Aim To assess the relationship between the level of physical activity and screen...

BACKGROUND Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) monitoring predicts successful surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). In renal HPT, intraoperative PTH assays can define whether parathyroid resection is adequate. METHODS Intraoperative PTH was measured with two different immunometric assays (Immulite Turbo DPC and ADVIA Centaur assay) in 91 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy fo...

BACKGROUND Most patients who have been surgically treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) harbor at least one pathological parathyroid gland with a tumor of monoclonal origin. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the underlying genetic mechanisms behind secondary HPT, by studying a panel of such tumors for numerical alterations. METHODS Sixteen parathyroid glands from eight patients (median age 5...

We consider certain constant-coefficient differential operators on Rd that have positive-definite symbols. Each such operator Λ with symbol P defines a semigroup of e−tΛ, t>0, admitting continuous convolution kernel HPt for which the large-time behavior HPt(0) cannot be deduced by basic scaling arguments. The simplest example has P(ξ)=(η+ζ2)2+η4, ξ=(η,ζ)∈R2. devise method allows us to determine...

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a metal processing method in which the sample is subjected to a very high plastic shear deformation. This process can produce exceptional levels of grain refinement, and provides a corresponding improvement in mechanical properties. To investigate the stress and strain distribution due to HPT process finite element simulation were conducted to investigate effectiv...

Conventional microbiology methods used to detect bacteria include multiple cultures and identification processes, so the results of lab work are painstaking and time-consuming. In recent years, more and more tend to use the diagnostic tests which are based on DNA; hence, DNA diagnostic biosensors have been created to perform DNA identification better. In this study, GUS and hpt genes were used ...

One of the most common methods for production of ultra fine grained materials is severe plastic deformation (SPD). In this study, constrained groove pressing (CGP) and high pressure torsion (HPT) processes as effective methods of severe plastic deformation for the strain imposed on the pure copper were used. This paper presents the results of an experimental research, to review the influence of...

Ideally, a successful kidney transplantation corrects the abnormalities in mineral metabolism that, during uraemia, lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and renal osteodystrophy. This includes reversal of uraemia, abolition of hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia and acidosis, and restoration of calcitriol production and reversal of skeletal resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitam...

Commercial purity titanium (CP-Ti) and a Ti-6Al-4V alloy (Ti64) were processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) for 10 20 turns. The HPT processing produced nanostructured microstructure significant strength enhancement in the CP-Ti Ti64 samples. After turns, samples of HPT-processed subjected to laser surface treatments an air atmosphere using different scanning speeds powers. roughness laser-mo...
