INTRODUCTION Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a common anomaly, occurring in one of every 2,500 live births. Greater than 90% of cases involve esophageal atresia (EA). The most common form of TEF with EA is the upper esophagus ending as a blind pouch and TEF connecting to distal esophagus a few millimeters above the carina. The exact cause is not yet completely understood. In recen...

PURPOSE The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the increment in energy expenditure above resting metabolic rate associated with the cost of absorption and processing of food for storage. Previous studies have shown that TEF is enhanced by aerobic endurance exercise of sufficient duration and intensity. The purpose of this study was to determine if a similar effect occurs with a single bout of resi...

BACKGROUND The management of newborns with esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has evolved considerably over the years. Currently an overall survival of 85% to 90% has been reported from developed countries. In developing countries, several factors contribute to higher mortality rates. We describe our experience with 94 consecutive cases of EA with or without...

This study investigated the effect of varying exercise intensity on the thermic effect of food (TEF). Sixteen lean male subjects were matched for VO2 max and randomly assigned to either a high or low intensity group for 30 min of treadmill exercise. Caloric expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry at rest and at 30-min intervals over 3 hrs following each of three conditions: a 750-kc...

Considering testing effort and imperfect debugging in reliability modeling process may further improve the fitting and prediction results of software reliability growth models (SRGMs). For describing the S-shaped varying trend of the testing-effort increasing rate more accurately, this paper first proposes a inflected S-shaped testing effort function (IS-TEF). Then this new TEF is incorporated ...

In this article, some factorization properties of polynomials over discrete valuation domains are elucidated. These along with the notion Newton index a polynomial leads to generalization main result proved by \c{S}tef\u{a}nescu [`On domains', \emph{Versita} \textbf{22}:1 (2014), 273--280].

The aim of this study was to compare the leptin responses to a high-fat meal in lean and obese men, and to investigate whether the net leptin response (area under the incremental curve) after the meal was related to the thermic effect of food (TEF). Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast and every 2 h for 8 h after a high-fat breakfast (60 g of fat/m(2) body surface area) in 12 le...

INTRODUCTION Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal communication between the trachea and the esophagus that can lead to respiratory distress and/or feeding problems. The majority of infants with a TEF also have esophageal atresia, both of which are usually repaired concurrently. Unfortunately, recurrent fistulae occur in 3% to 12% of case series and can be difficult to repair. A recurr...
