Physico-chemical properties of a Haplic Acrisol in Southeastern Nigeria amended with rice mill waste and NPK fertilizer (2006)

The effect of rice mill waste (RMW) in combination with or without NPK 15:15:15 on some physicochemical properties of a Haplic Acrisol in Umudike, Southeastern Nigeria, was studied. The experiment...

Recognition of stage-specific mycobacterial antigens differentiates between acute and latent infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2006)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is estimated to infect 80 to 100 million people annually, the majority of whom do not develop clinical tuberculosis (TB) but instead maintain the infection in a latent...

Euclidean Null Controllability of Nonlinear Infinite Delay Systems with Time Varying Multiple Delays in Control and Implicit Derivative (2005)

Sufficient conditions for the Euclidean null controllability of non-linear delay systems with time varying multiple delays in the control and implicit derivative are derived. If the uncontrolled...

Aims/hypothesis: The islet microcirculation has morphological characteristics resembling those of renal glomeruli. Transcription of the nephrin gene, a highly specific barrier protein of the slit...

Fetal, infant and childhood growth: relationships with body composition in Brazilian boys aged 9 years (2005)

BACKGROUND: Early growth rate has been linked to later obesity categorised by body mass index (BMI), but the development of body composition has rarely been studied. METHODS: We tested the hypotheses...

An update on the biochemical diagnosis of congenital ACTH insufficiency (2005)

  • Mehta,
  • A.,
  • Hindmarsh,
  • P.C.,
  • Dattani,
  • M.T.

Objective Congenital ACTH insufficiency due to disorders of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis is life threatening. However, the optimal method for establishing the diagnosis remains controversial. The...

The role of growth hormone in determining birth size and early postnatal growth, using congenital growth hormone deficiency (GHD) as a model (2005)

  • Mehta,
  • A.,
  • Hindmarsh,
  • P.C.,
  • Stanhope,
  • R.G.,
  • ...

Objective The role of GH in early human growth is unclear. Congenital GH deficiency (CGHD) provides a useful tool to explore this putative role. We have assessed the effects of CGHD on birth size and...

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Studies on the biology of the microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) that surround and penetrate the pancreatic islets are hampered by difficulties in isolating and culturing large...

Local administration of an adeno-associated viral vector expressing IL-10 reduces monocyte infiltration and subsequent photoreceptor damage during experimental autoimmune uveitis (2005)

Autoimmune posterior uveitis is a chronic, potentially blinding inflammatory disease of the eye. It is commonly treated with immunosuppressive drugs that have adverse long-term effects. Advances in...

Percutaneous approaches to valvular heart disease (2005)

Low myo-inositol and high glutamine levels in the brain are associated with neuropsychological deterioration following induced hyperammonemia (2004)

The neuropsychological effect of hyperammonemia is variable. This study tests the hypothesis that the effect of ammonia on the neuropsychological function in patients with cirrhosis is determined by...

Worsening of cerebral hyperemia by the administration of terlipressin in acute liver failure with severe hepatic encephalopathy (2004)

There is increasing evidence that terlipressin is useful in patients with cirrhosis andhepatorenal syndrome, but there are no data of its use in patients with acute liverfailure (ALF) in whom...

INFLUENCE OF PREGNANCY ON SOME ERYTHROCYTE BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES IN THE RABBITS (2001)

One billion erythrocytes lysate samples obtained from pregnant (28-day old) and non-pregnant groups or New Zealand white Chinchilla rabbits (eight rabbits per group) were analysed to determine the...

Performance of a new pubertal self-assessment questionnaire: a preliminary study (2001)

We describe the performance of a new, self-assessment questionnaire that aims to measure pubertal status by using gender-specific line drawings of the Tanner puberty stages. The study was carried out...
