Alcohol consumption in young women is a widespread habit that may continue during pregnancy and induce alterations in the fetus. We aimed to characterize prevalence of alcohol consumption in parturient women and to assess fetal ethanol exposure in their newborns by analyzing two direct metabolites of ethanol in meconium. This is a cross-sectional study performed in September 2011 and March 2012...

Aims: This study determined the information about recent alcohol consumption obtained when urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) were introduced as a routine test in outpatient treatment programs for alcohol and drug dependence. Patients and methods: Outpatients (21 men and 3 women) undergoing treatment for alcohol (N = 8) or drug (N = 10) dependence, or in methadone maintenan...

AIMS This study determined the information about recent alcohol consumption obtained when urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) were introduced as a routine test in outpatient treatment programs for alcohol and drug dependence.

Measurements of local density and magnetic field fluctuations near the pedestal top, conditionally-averaged over the ELM cycle, have been made in MAST. A Doppler backscattering (DBS) system installed at MAST was used to measure intermediate-k (k⊥ρi ≈ 3 − 4) density fluctuations at the top of the pedestal. A novel diagnostic technique combining DBS with crosspolarization scattering (CP-DBS) enab...

AIMS Alcohol abuse is a major risk factor for premature death. Confirming the role of alcohol consumption in cause-of-death investigations has, however, remained difficult, due to lack of reliable biomarkers. METHODS We compared ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) assays from serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and vitreous humor in a forensic autopsy population...

This paper explores the fundamental characteristics of electron-temperature-gradient (ETG)-driven turbulence in tokamak pedestal. The extreme gradients pedestal produce linear instabilities and nonlinear that are distinct from corresponding ETG phenomenology core plasma. system exhibits multiple (greater than ten) unstable eigenmodes at each perpendicular wave vector, representing different tor...

tion or dapsone/sulfapyridine dose); however, future studies should attempt to correlate levels of IgA anti-eTG with parameters of disease activity, including degree and duration of gluten restriction, and dapsone/sulfapyridine dose. The patient presented in Table 2 shows that the levels of each Ab assay decreases over time with adherence to a gluten-free diet. Although definitive conclusions c...

Groundwater evapotranspiration (ETg) is an important component of the hydrological cycle in water-scarce regions and for local ecosystems agricultural irrigation management. However, accurate estimation ETg not easy due to uncertainties climatic conditions, vegetation parameters, parameters unsaturated zone aquifers. The current methods calculating mainly include WTF method numerical groundwate...

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed and validated for the determination of ethylglucuronide (EtG) in oral fluid. Sample clean-up was achieved by solid-phase extraction with a Hyper-SEP SAX column. Negative ionization was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Two transitions were monitored for the analyte and one for the int...
