we conducted this study to compare fecal calprotectin between exclusively breastfed and formula or mixed fed infants aged one month and six months. sixty term infants were enrolled from the labor ward of valiasr hospital between oct 2011 and july 2015 and their fecal calprotectin was checked by the elisa method and hycult biotech kits. the enrolled infants had a birth weight of 2500-4000 g and ...

abstract          background and objectives: concentration low-density lipoprotein (ldl) is one of the strongest indicators of atherosclerosis and predicts the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. ldl measurement accuracy is very important. ldl can be measured directly, such as enzymatic and nephelometry methods or can be calculated using friedewald's formula. despite the development of e...

p i ( l d d R d I t e A lthough seemingly rare, leukemia is the second most common cancer in children less than 1 year of age. This represents 5 to 10% of hildhood leukemias, with an incidence of 44 per illion “infants” or approximately 200 infants diagosed with leukemia in the United States each year. or unclear reasons, this incidence appears to be ising over the past 20 years. Infant leukemi...

introduction: infants born with congenital anomalies demand individualized nutritional evaluations and recommendations. the anatomical changes of neonatal surgical diseases create specific physiological constraints.patients with different congenital anomalies have different nutritional support needs. it is essential to know the exact physiology of these anomalies in order to be able to manage a...

We introduce an atomic formula ~y ⊥~x ~z intuitively saying that the variables ~y are independent from the variables ~z if the variables ~x are kept constant. We contrast this with dependence logic D based on the atomic formula =(~x, ~y), actually equivalent to ~y ⊥~x ~y, saying that the variables ~y are totally determined by the variables ~x. We show that ~y ⊥~x ~z gives rise to a natural logi...

introduction: the parikh’s formula is a calculation method that considers menstrual cycle duration in women who have an unusual interval of menstruation cycle. since the accurate estimation of gestational age affects pregnancy outcomes, the present study aimed to compare the first trimester ultrasound and parikh’s formula in determining the expected date of delivery (edd). materials and methods...

In this study, I introduce some new double sequence spaces [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as the domain of four-dimensional generalized difference matrix [Formula: see text] in the spaces [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. I show that...
