BACKGROUND The impact of body mass index (BMI) on the clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients ≥ 75 years old remained unclear. METHODS A total of 1098 elderly patients undergoing PCI with stent implantation were recruited. Patients were divided into four groups by the value of BMI: Underweight (≤ 20.0 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (20.0-24.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight...

disodium glycyrrhetinic acid hemiphthalaic (gap) was evaluated for developmental toxicity in pregnant nmri mice. gap was administered intrapcritoneally on days s, 9, 10, of gestation at doses of 0, 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg/dav. on gestation day of is, after operational delivery, the fetuses were examined for soft tissue, external and skeletal defects. increased absorptions, dead fetuses, and reduce ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of two different doses of parenteral aminoacid supplementation on postnatal growth in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants receiving partial parenteral nutrition (PPN). DESIGN Double blinded randomized controlled trial. SETTING Level 3 NICU between February 2008 to February 2010. PARTICIPANTS 150 inborn babies with birthweight between 900-1250 g, irrespec...

Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats and New Zealand White rabbits were exposed dermally to 0, 10, 25, and 75 mg/kg/day of monoethanolamine (MEA) for approximately 6 hr/day on Days 6 through 15 (rats) or 6 through 18 (rabbits) of gestation. A fifth dose group of 225 mg MEA/kg/day was evaluated in rats only. Dermal exposure of pregnant rats to 225 mg/kg/day and rabbits to 75 mg/kg/day resulted in signif...

OBJECTIVES Older patients are particularly vulnerable to hypoglycaemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to initiation of once-daily insulin detemir in patients aged ≥75 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with one or more oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). METHODS A sub-analysis was conducted using data from SOLVE (Study of Once daily LeVEmir), a 24-week observa...

1. Twenty-seven energy and protein balances were done using nine cross-bred (Brown Swiss times Sahiwal) mature bullocks in a series of three balance trials. The bullocks were fed 75, 100 and 125 percent of the metabolizable energy (ME) and digestible crude protein standard values recommended by the (US) National Research Council (1966). Heat production was estimated by indirect calorimetry, by ...

1. Nitrogen balance (NB) was determined in entire male pigs weighing 75.6 (SE 0.56) kg and given 1.43 MJ metabolizable energy (ME)/kg live weight (LW)0.75 per d of semi-synthetic liquid diets which varied in crude protein (N x 6.38):ME from 2.5 to 14.5 g/MJ. Maximum NB of 20.8 g/d was reached with diets containing at least 6.2 g protein/MJ ME. 2. The relation between energy intake and NB was th...
