The prevalence of obesity was analyzed. ResultsThe standardized prevalence of overweight significantly increased from 12.75 to 14.2% (p < 0.01), and the prevalence of obesity significantly increased from 3.35 to 3.94% (p < 0.01) during the study period. In contrast to data from developed ...
In contrast, responses to insulin and to GHRH were not different between the two groups. We conclude that sex steroids increase both spontaneous and stimulated GH secretion in children with idiopathic short stature, and that sex steroid induced increases in GH secretion may contribute to the puberta...
previously reported that FISH is more accurate than conventional Giemsa staining for dose estimation, especially in samples exposed to high doses11, we also recommend the use of FISH for DCA in cases of low-dose radiation exposure because in contrast to Giemsa staining, we found a good ...
Before we performed our systematic literature search, we set inclusion and exclusion criteria, i.e., a set of conditions for the records we retrieved from the searches to be eligible for inclusion in the analysis. We restricted our analysis to high-income countries according to the categorization...
Laser pulses have the energy on the target up to ~7 J, duration of 35 fs (full width at half maximum, FWHM, with respect to intensity), wavelength of 0.8 μ m and a typical contrast of 1010 (with respect to power; at several picoseconds before the pulse peak). The contrast...
By contrast, mouse-wheel sensitivity is sufficient (about right) for PDFs in either the Chrome or Edge web browser. It's a little better (slightly faster) in Edge than in Chrome. But Acrobat is quite slow and consequently frustrating to use. It's too bad there's not an option t...
1. In Fig. 1, the hcp phase shows a dotted contrast. This means that the band region except the hcp phase is the Hf, Zr-rich bcc1 phase. It is also noted that the direction of composition modulation in bcc metals is <100>bcc, resulting in the alignment of the hcp phase on {100...
In contrast, as α decreases, increasing controls/case beyond 4 decreases the median expected p-value by orders of magnitude, with the ratio reduction increasing as α decreases. Katki et al. BMC Medical Research Methodology (2023) 23:153 Page 4 of 11 Fig. 1 Median expected p...
In human adenocarcinoma, claudin-2 expression is higher than that in normal lung tissue, but the regulatory mechanism of its expression has not been clarified. In human adenocarcinoma A549 cells, claudin-2 level time-dependently increased under the control conditions. In contrast, claudin-1 expressio...
Although consideration of risks associated with CT scans generally focuses on the effects of radiation and contrast agents, we have identified premedication as an additional risk among infants and child- ren who undergo CT scans. As part of an intensive Pediatric Drug Surveillance (PeDS) Program, ...
