WIENER, ROSLYN, AND JOHN J. SPITZER. Substrate utilization by myocardium and skeletal muscle in atloxan-diabetic dogs. Am. J. Physiol. 225(6) : 1288-l 294. 1973.-Myocardial and skeletal muscle substrate utilization was investigated in eight alloxan-diabetic dogs. A continuous infusion of palmitate1 -14C was administered throughout the experiments. At control plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concent...

BACKGROUND It is important that community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes are designed in such a way as to ensure the relevance of the benefit packages to potential clients. Hence, this paper provides an understanding of the preferred benefit packages by different economic status groups as well as urban and rural dwellers for CBHI in Southeast Nigeria. METHODS The study took place in ru...

Genetic relationships among lactation records are of interest because most selection of bulls is on first lactations. Selection also complicates estimation of genetic parameters. Techniques unbiased by selection should be used. Estimation of genetic and environmental (co)variances was done using restricted maximum likelihood with an expectation-maximization algorithm for an animal model. The al...

Thermally expanded graphite (EG) polymer composite has high potential for application in the modern thermo-electronic industry due to cost-effectiveness and excellent electrical thermal properties. In this study, we report conductivity enhancement of graphite/polyetherimide (EG/PEI) fabricated by a simple solution mixing technique. Expanded enable larger properties relative graphene nanoplatele...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the distribution pattern of refractive status and prevalence of refractive errors in school-age children in Western China to determine the possible environmental factors. METHODS A random sampling strategy in geographically defined clusters was used to identify children aged 6-15 years in Yongchuan, a socio-economically representative area in Western China. W...

BACKGROUND Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with hip fracture but not directly with bone mineral density (BMD). We examined the association of hip BMD with levels of plasma tHcy, folate, and vitamin B12 and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T and 1298A-->C polymorphisms. METHODS Bone mineral density was measured between 1997 and 2000 in 2268 men and 30...

INTRODUCTION Gestational choriocarcinoma occurs in 1 in 40,000 pregnancies. Of all forms of gestational choriocarcinoma, placental choriocarcinoma is the most rare. Maternal choriocarcinoma is usually diagnosed in symptomatic patients with metastases. The incidental finding of a choriocarcinoma confined to the placenta with no evidence of dissemination to the mother, or infant is the least comm...

ABSTRACT We have developed an open-source pipeline for the analysis of Spitzer/IRAC channel 1 and 2 time-series photometry, incorporating some most popular decorrelation methods. applied this to new phase curve observations ultra-hot Jupiters MASCARA-1b KELT-16b, we performed first comprehensive reanalysis 15 curves. find that KELT-16b offsets $6^{+11}_{-11}~^{\circ }$W $38^{+16}_{-15}~^{\circ ...
