Energy requirements during pregnancy and lactation.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the energy requirements of pregnant and lactating women consistent with optimal pregnancy outcome and adequate milk production. DESIGN Total energy cost of pregnancy was estimated using the factorial approach from pregnancy-induced increments in basal metabolic rate measured by respiratory calorimetry or from increments in total energy expenditure measured by the doubly ...
متن کاملNormal pressure hydrocephalus: new findings and old questions.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a form of communicating hydrocephalus, is characterized by normal mean CSF pressure. MR imaging is essential to establish the presence of ventricular di-latation and to exclude other conditions that also may be responsible for the clinical triad of gait disorder , mental slowing, and urinary incontinence. Clinical features that support the diagnosis of NPH i...
متن کاملPower requirements of swimming: do new methods resolve old questions?
A recurring question in the study of fish biomechanics and energetics is the mechanical power required for tail-swimming at the high speeds seen among aquatic vertebrates. The quest for answers has been driven by conceptual advances in fluid dynamics, starting with ideas on the boundary layer and drag initiated by Prandtl, and in measurement techniques starting with force balances focussing on ...
متن کاملNeural induction: old problem, new findings, yet more questions.
During neural induction, the embryonic neural plate is specified and set aside from other parts of the ectoderm. A popular molecular explanation is the 'default model' of neural induction, which proposes that ectodermal cells give rise to neural plate if they receive no signals at all, while BMP activity directs them to become epidermis. However, neural induction now appears to be more complex ...
متن کاملNew Answers to Old Questions
I use cross-cultural ethnographic data to explore the relationship between male and female subsistence labor among hunter-gatherer populations by examining data regarding resource procurement, time allocation, and task differentiation between the sexes relative to dependence on hunted foods. The findings indicate that female foragers generally perform a variety of nonsubsistence collection acti...
