BACKGROUND Although progress has been made toward reducing child morbidity and mortality globally, a large proportion of children in sub-Saharan Africa still die before age five and many suffer chronic malnutrition. This study investigated the influence of single motherhood on stunting and under-5 mortality in Cameroon, Nigeria and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Particular attention wa...

We conducted two experiments to determine the feeding value and effects on diet digestibilities, passage rates, and ruminal metabolism of wheat middlings (WM) fed as a replacement for either the concentrate or roughage components of finishing diets of steers. In Exp. 1, 120 medium-framed steers were blocked by weight and randomly allocated to one of six treatments of high-concentrate diets: con...

Feedlot cattle performance data from 20 trials (n = 350 pen means; representing 3,365 steers) evaluating dietary inclusion of corn wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) were summarized with two meta-analyses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of WDGS inclusion level with dry-rolled corn (DRC) or a blend of DRC and high-moisture corn (HMC) for either calf-feds or yearl...

Suboptimal cellular DNA repair capacity (DRC) has been shown to be associated with enhanced cancer risk, but genetic variants affecting the DRC phenotype have not been comprehensively investigated. In this study, with the available DRC phenotype data, we analyzed correlations between the DRC phenotype and genotypes detected by the Illumina 317K platform in 1,774 individuals of European ancestry...

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are malignancies that can be induced by tobacco use, although host-specific factors such as the DNA repair capacity (DRC) may modulate individual susceptibility to tobacco carcinogenesis. To test the hypothesis that genetically determined DRC modulates HNC susceptibility, we measured the DRC in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 55 patients with newly diagnosed, pr...

This study had two specific objectives which are: Establish the effect of credit risk management on performance commercial banks in DRC. And to identify most healthiness Commercial In this we have responded questions: Is there a relationship between and DRC? What’s bank After analysis concluded that has not any impact with financial DRC best was BCDC during time covered by

BACKGROUND Incomplete drug regimen compliance (DRC) and white-coat hypertension are two of several possible causes of uncontrolled hypertension. Therefore the aim of the present study was to compare DRC in hypertensives treated with combination therapy whose blood pressures (BP) were controlled vers. uncontrolled after 4 weeks of self-monitored BP measurement. To observe the consequences in unc...

Crossbred yearling steers ( = 360; 395 ± 33.1 kg initial BW) were used to evaluate the effects of dry-rolled corn (DRC) particle size in diets containing 20% wet distiller's grains plus solubles on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and starch digestibility. Steers were used in a randomized complete block design and allocated to 36 pens (9 pens/treatment, with 10 animals/pen). Treatm...
