OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the weight-loss practices and weight-related issues reported by youth with diabetes, according to sex and diabetes type. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,742 female and 1,615 male youth aged 10-21 years with type 1 or type 2 diabetes completed a SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study visit during which height, weight, and A1C were measur...

this study was carried out within 7 months in dikjeh area, golestan province, iran. during that time the relationship between water salinity and ec with hematocrite, blood serum ionic parameters, growth, survival and stress indices in common carp (cyprinus carpio) were investigated. hematocrite as stress index was measured by hemocitometry standard method using microhematocrite reader. fish bio...

pregnancy, birthweight 3260 g. At 8 weeks she was moderately cyanotic, weight was 4593 g, heart rate 140, blood pressure 90 mmHg by flush. There was a grade 1/6 systolic ejection murmur which was heard best along the left stemal border. There were palpable brachial and femoral pulses. The dermatoglyphs were normal. Chromosome study was normal (46, XX), and other laboratory studies, including se...

OBJECTIVES Obesity consistently predicts depression risk, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Body concerns are proposed as key. South Korean society is characterized by extremely high levels of explicit weight stigma, possibly the highest globally. Using cross-sectional Korean 2014 National Health Examination Survey (KNHANES) data, we test this proposition in a nationally repr...

Despite a large number of observational studies consistently reporting the association between shorter sleep duration and higher body weight, causality has yet to be established at a population level. This study aims to estimate the population-level causal effect of sleep duration on adolescent body weight, using an instrumental variable (IV) approach that exploits a unique natural experiment i...

A conflict-avoiding code (CAC) of length n and weight k is a collection of binary vectors of length n and Hamming weight k, such that the inner product of any two vectors or their arbitrary cyclic shifts is at most one. In the study of multiple-access collision channel without feedback, CAC is used to guarantee that each transmitting user can send at least one data packet successfully during a ...

Two main classes of interaction between soluble dietary fibres (SDFs), such as (1,3:1,4)-β-D-glucan (βG) and arabinoxylan (AX) and bile salt (BS) or diluted porcine bile, were identified by (13)C NMR and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Small chemical shift differences of BS NMR resonances were consistent with effective local concentration or dilution of BS micelles mostly by βG, suggesting...

In this paper, we first propose a novel common subexpression elimination (CSE) algorithm for matrix-vector multiplications over characteristic-2 fields. As opposed to previously proposed CSE algorithms, which usually focus on complexity savings due to recurrences of subexpressions, our CSE algorithm achieves two types of complexity reductions, differential savings and recurrence savings, by tak...

  Wild common carp of the Caspian Sea is one of the important fish in the north of Iran, which has been introduced to inland aquaculture. Its genetic characteristics are investigated to set up for breeding programs that are still unknown. Using wild common carp in aquaculture is limited for uncontrolled variation in performance of fish derived from undomesticated breeders. A 7×7 factorial matin...
