OBJECTIVES: To examine cardiovascular physiology in the healthy fetus during normal development. DESIGN: Twenty normal fetuses were studied longitudinally from 20 weeks to term. Serial echocardiography was performed, and arterial and venous diameter pulse wave characteristics and aortic pulse wave propagation velocity (PWV) were examined in the thoracic descending aorta (AoD) and inferior caval ve

We present an approach proving the integrability of the Camassa-Holm equation for initial data of small amplitude.

Several lines of evidence indicate that neurotrophic factors (NTFs) could be key causal mediators in the development of acquired epileptic syndromes. Yet the trophic properties of NTFs indicate that they might be used to treat epilepsy-associated damage. Accordingly, different NTFs, or even the same NTF, could produce functionally contrasting effects in the context of epilepsy. Recent experimental

Purpose:To study survival in two groups of dysphagic patients - one group unable to elicit the pharyngeal stage of swallow (APS) and another group with pharyngeal swallow (WPS) - and to compare recommendations regarding nutrition and therapeutic strategies based on the therapeutic swallowing study. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of dysphagic patients who have under

During the process of migration, many immigrants undergo a number of changes in their relationships to their religious organisations. One factor that has emerged as especially important in immigrants’ congregational affiliation is the availability of language groups in immigrants’ mother tongues. This article examines how these groups are formed and the roles they play in the lives of their member

Health risks associated with heterocyclic amines in cooked foods have been discussed and analysed since the presence of these food mutagens was first detected. Intake, metabolism, carcinogenicity and epidemiology are important parameters in the risk assessment of heterocyclic amines. It is very difficult to determine the human intake of heterocyclic amines, as the content in cooked meat is highly

Using time-resolved laser spectroscopy we have determined the hyperfine structure in the 3s2n p2P3/2 sequence of27Al (I=5/2). The magnetic-dipole interaction constants were found to scale withn*-2.85 (n* is the effective principal quantum number) in the investigated regionn=6–12. Significant quadrupole interaction constants were obtained forn=6–9. The measured radiative lifetimes forn=6–12 scale w

AIM: The study aimed to investigate long-term consequences of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) positive acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) in a low-income country according to severity of the initial infection. DESIGN: The study was a 1:1 matched case-control study of 335 RSV case children and 335 control children. The mean age of RSV ALRI was 0.9 year and at follow-up, 6.8 years. Cas

Early Eocene spores and pollen assemblages from the uppermost part of the Stolle Klint Clay and the overlying Fur Formation are diverse and well preserved. The terrestrial microflora comprises 42 species of spores and 108 species of pollen and four spores and pollen zones are established i.e. Interpollis velum-Labrapollis globosus, Basopollis atumenscens, Basopollis orthobasalis and Thomsonipollis
