PURPOSE To evaluate changes in body and internal organ weight of autopsied children in the perinatal period and their relationship with the cause of death. METHODS One hundred and fifty three cases of perinatal autopsies performed at a university hospital in Southeastern Brazil ere included. Information about cause of perinatal death, date of autopsy, gestational age, perinatal weight and org...

BACKGROUND Weight loss leads to reduced resting energy expenditure (REE) independent of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) loss, but the effect of changes in FFM composition is unclear. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that a decrease in REE adjusted for FFM with weight loss would be partly explained by a disproportionate loss in the high metabolic activity component of FFM. DESIGN Forty-five o...

A force-velocity relationship in overarm throwing was determined using ball weights varying from 0.2 to 0.8 kg. Seven experienced handball players were filmed at 240 frames per second. Velocity of joints of the upper extremity and ball together with the force on the ball were derived from the data. A statistically significant negative relationship between force and maximal ball velocity, as wel...

Dr Lentine has effectively presented an argument for weight loss prior to transplant and has included a balanced view with important caveats. It should be noted that there aremany points of agreement between our ‘polar views’. Most importantly, we agree that BMI is an imprecisemeasure of obesity and surgical risk and that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not ideal. Our opinions diverge with re...

in order to study of yield, growth index and physiological traits in spring sugar beet genotypes with delayed planting date, a field experiment was carried out in chenaran in khorasan razavi province in the east of iran in 2008 cropping season. for this experiment a complete randomized block design with 4 replications and 6 treatments was used. the experimental treatments were six improved vari...
