BACKGROUND Hypernatremic dehydration in neonates is a potentially devastating condition. Recent reports have identified breast-feeding malnutrition as a key factor in its pathophysiology. METHODS Using a theoretical framework for breast-feeding kinetics, a retrospective chart review of all neonates less than 28 days of age who were seen at either British Columbia's Children's Hospital or the ...

Dehydrocoronamic acid can be racemised by dehydration of an N-acyl derivative to an azlactone, which undergoes facile racemisation. For the N-trifluoroacetyl derivative, the racemisation process was combined with an enzymatic resolution, to achieve a dynamic kinetic resolution process by which the racemate can be converted to either enantiomer.

Generally, chemical tissue clearing is performed by a solution consisting of two parts benzyl benzoate and one part benzyl alcohol. However, prolonged exposure to this mixture markedly reduces the fluorescence of GFP expressing specimens, so that one has to compromise between clearing quality and fluorescence preservation. This can be a severe drawback when working with specimens exhibiting low...

Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) induced the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (Adh) in Arabidopsis roots. Both the G-box-1 element and the GT/GC motifs (anaerobic response element) were required for Adh inducibility. Measurement of endogenous ABA levels during stress treatment showed that ABA levels increased during dehydration treatment but not following exposure to either hypoxia or low temperature. A...

nowadays, hydrogels are widely used as wound dressings in biomedical applications. similar to other types of the moist (wet) wound dressings, it is necessary to have sufficient information about their dehydration kinetics during the pre-usage period (e.g. storage duration) and also the wound healing process. in this work, hydrogel wound dressings based on polyvinyl alcohol were prepared by cycl...
