AIMS To evaluate the associations between physical activity (PA) and metabolic control, measured by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), in a large group of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of data from 4655 patients, comparing HbA1c values with levels of physical activity. The data for the children and adolescents were obtained from the Swedish pediatri...

This definition goes back to J.Dixmier, see [Di, 11.1.6]. He considered index because of its importance in Representation Theory. The problem of computing the index may also be treated as part of Invariant Theory. For, if q is an algebraic Lie algebra and Q is a corresponding algebraic group, then ind q equals the transcendence degree of the field of Q-invariant rational functions on q. If q is...

Introduction Powder metallurgy (p/M) is a rapidly expanding technology for manufacturing of structural parts. The PA4 process provides economical as well as technical benefits over conventional processing of wrought material. It is possible to fabricate high quality, complex parts to close tolerances without machining. The energy consumption is low and the material utilisation and productivity ...

Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically emulsified oil removal are currently limited to performance screening through batch mode testing. Hence, this paper presents a thorough fixed-bed assessment of advanced the from WWs. A unique custom-built column setup was ...

Neutralizing antibodies to Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA), a component of anthrax toxin, mediate protection against anthrax. PA is antigenically complex and can elicit protective and nonprotective antibodies. Furthermore, vaccinated individuals demonstrate considerable variability in their antibody responses to PA. To explore the relationship between PA structure and antigenicity, w...

the synthesis of 4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-(pyrazin-2-yl) oxazol-5(4h)-one was achieved in two steps, in first step, pyrazine-2-carboxamide  dissolved in etoh, 10% koh solution with clch2cooh produced compound 2-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido) acetic acid (ii) and in second step, compound (ii) in (ch3co)2o with aromatic aldehyde, and catalyst potassium acetate produced title compounds 4-(substitut...

We report the first study to examine phylogenetic relationships and drug resistance mutations in HIV-1 pol sequences from Panama. For this study, we used plasma RNA samples from 135 HIV-1-infected subjects from Panama, of which 82 (61%) had AIDS and 53 (39%) were asymptomatic drug-naïve individuals. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that 133 (98%) subjects were infected with subtype B viruses and ...

The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are typically chronically infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We used an immunoproteomics approach to analyze the responses of patients to secreted P. aeruginosa proteins. Extracellular proteins from P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 that had been grown to stationary phase were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analyzed...
