IMPACT OF MATERNAL METABOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN PREGNANCY ON HUMAN MILK AND SUBSEQUENT INFANT METABOLIC DEVELOPMENT: METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN

Impact of maternal metabolic abnormalities in pregnancy on human milk and subsequent infant metabolic development: methodology and design

Abstract Background Childhood obesity is on the rise and is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes later in life.Recent evidence indicates that abnormalities that increase risk for diabetes may be initiated early in infancy.Since the offspring of women with diabetes have an increased long-term risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes, Detox Products t

Development of standard indicators to assess use of electronic health record systems implemented in low-and medium-income countries.

BackgroundElectronic Health Record Dresses Systems (EHRs) are being rolled out nationally in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) yet assessing actual system usage remains a challenge.We employed a nominal group technique (NGT) process to systematically develop high-quality indicators for evaluating actual usage of EHRs in LMICs.MethodsAn

FM1-43 is a permeant blocker of mechanosensitive ion channels in sensory neurons and inhibits behavioural responses to mechanical stimuli

Abstract The molecular identity and pharmacological properties of mechanically gated ion channels in sensory neurons are poorly understood.We show that FM1-43, a styryl dye used to fluorescently label cell membranes, permeates mechanosensitive ion channels in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons, resulting in blockade of three previously defined s
