The model will include categorical time, treatment and their interaction as fixed effects, as well as any factors used to balance the randomisation in the minimisation algorithm. Baseline MSK-HQ will be included in the response variable. This model will be used to compare the mean MSK-HQ ...
Oral maternal nutritional supplements are formulated to provide a balance of energy, protein and nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy. However the consumption of too many calories during pregnancy may increase a woman’s risk for excessive weight gain which has been linked with gestational diabetes...
WATER-electrolyte balance (Physiology)Wilms' tumor is one of the most common genitourinary malignancies in children. It may be associated with extension of the tumor in the inferior vena cava (IVC) (4%–8%) and right atrium (1%–3%) of cases. In such a ...

Sodium and inorganic nitrate (via the formation of nitric oxide (NO)) are two of the key protective nutrients with health-promoting properties via mechanisms involving the control of vascular tone, fluid balance and neurotransmission [18,19]. Observational studies have reported an association between...
impairment (MCI). Methods/Design: This was a single-blinded and parallel-group randomized controlled trial with two arms (intervention and active control arms), conducted over nine months.

Participants were also instructed to balance the consumption of macronutrient at every meal to achieve a lower GL diet [15]. They were led by three simple steps to follow when selecting or preparing a meal. The first step was to select lower GI carbohydrate, such as low GI rice, pasta, ...
[5]. The accompanying metabolic sequelae would be a negative nitrogen balance, gluconeogenesis, and muscle tissue degradation, given the background of protein and amino acid losses during the dialysis procedure [6]. Therefore, relying on limiting dietary phosphorus to control hyperphosphatemia is not...
