A SPECIALIST IN DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND INTESTINES

The strengths of this analysis lie in the large data- base, the probability based sampling, and the standar- dized methodology of the tri-annual data. As with other administrative measures of disease, hospital dis- charge diagnose[r]

The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats by human activities are pervasive phenomena in terrestrial ecosystems across the Earth and the main driving forces behind current biodiversi[r]

Beginning in August 2006, all outpatients with a sched- uled coronary angiogram for which a PCI was possible had their informed consent customized by PREDICT (typ- ical volume was approximately five to ten patients per day). Nursing staff in the Cardiovascular Hold[r]

Here we present an overview of the literature on autism in adult and juvenile delinquents. We analyzed both the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in groups of delinquents and the prevalence of opening in people with ASD.

A major challenge for those living with cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, stomach and pancreas), is the impact of the disease and treatment on nutritional status and quality of life. People with cancer and malnutrition have a greater risk of morbidity and mortality.

The transfer of knowledge between groups of individuals of different levels of expertise and orientation is discussed with reference to the manner in which knowledge is disseminated using the specialist language of a given domain. A prototype system that allows access to knowledge at these different[r]

Pathogenesis. Spinal cord malformations ( = spinal dysraphism) arise from defects occurring in the em- bryological stages of gastrulation (weeks 2 – 3), neurulation (weeks 3 – 6) and caudal regression. There is an increased risk of spinal malformations in pr[r]

Gastrointestinal tract function and it’s integrity are controlled by a number of peptides whose secretion is influenced by severe inflammation. In stomach the main regulatory peptide is ghrelin.

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by absence of ganglion cells along the intestines resulting in functional bowel obstruction. Mutations in neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene have been implicated in some cases of intestinal aganglionosis.

Pediatric sleep research is rather new in Estonia. There has not been a comprehensive study of age specific sleep disorders in Estonian children. The aim of this study was to investigate sleep disorders in a sample of Estonian second grade children.

Five adult male and female C57BL/6 mice (6-wk old, 21-26 body weight upon receipt) were acquired from the Charles River Laboratories (Yokohama, Japan) after acclimatization for one week. The animals were placed at 5 per polycarbonate cage in[r]

Apart from the changes of diagnostic concepts over the past decades, research on the genetic underpinnings of autism and related disorders confronts three major complexities. First, there is the large degree of genetic heterogeneity, w[r]

The tumors treated in the present study were much larger than the range of alpha particles. However, the autoradiogaphy images indicated hot spots of 227 Th-tras- tuzumab activity in perfused areas within the tumor xenografts, which might resul[r]

Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating raise the risk for eating disorders. In the prevention of eating disorders, many programmes have proved partly successful in using cognitive techniques to combat such risk factors. However, specific strategies to actively promote a positive body image are r[r]
