Appropriate feeding practices have an important impact on diarrhoeal disease management in developing countries. We evaluated the efficacy of feeding dowdo, a wheat-milk gruel, traditionally used as a weaning food in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Dowdo was compared with khitchri, a rice-lentil mixture, in acute diarrhoea through a randomized trial. Seventy- six children between 6 and 36 month...

Very little is known about the effects of manipulating toad sperm activity in vitro, and such information is important in the development of a genetic resource bank for bufonid species. The specific objectives of this study were to: 1). identify the optimal inactivation and reactivation solutions for toad spermatozoa collected in urine; 2). establish the length of time toad spermatozoa can be e...

We describe a scheme that secures the remote execution of sequential computations in grid-computing scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first contribution that addresses the security of generic sequential computations. By dividing sequential tasks into smaller subtasks and permuting them among participants, we show that our scheme facilitates the insertion of selective redundan...

This study was designed to investigate the ability of an extracorporeal circuit (ECC) with a vented hard shell reservoir to remain sterile for a period of 72 h under dry conditions. The study was conducted in three phases. In Phase One: Two previously published methods for detecting contamination of the ECC were compared. A group of positive controls was collected by contaminating identical cir...

BACKGROUND The peptide drug Moli1901 activates an alternative chloride channel that is present in cystic fibrosis (CF) nasal and airway epithelia. Doing so bypasses the dysfunctional CF transmembrane regulator. STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether intranasal Moli1901 is safe, tolerable, and will induce chloride transport in healthy volunteers and CF subjects. DESIGN A single-blind (to the p...
