Vitamin D status has been associated with cardiometabolic markers even in children, but the associations may be confounded by fat mass and physical activity behaviour. This study investigated associations between vitamin D status and cardiometabolic risk profile, as well as the impact of fat mass and physical activity in Danish 8-11-year-old children, using baseline data from 782 children parti...

Am m onia was excreted at high rates in the presence of L-methionine sulfoximine (L-MSO) from Chlorella cells which have been grown and analyzed at normal C 0 2 partial pressure (330 ppm). If these cells are analyzed at high C 0 2-concentration (3% C 0 2 in air) only little ammonia is excreted in the presence o f L-MSO. In the absence of L-MSO no ammonia is excreted under either condition. In a...

This study developed probabilistic models to describe Listeria monocytogenes growth responses in meat products with low concentrations of NaNO2 and NaCl. A five-strain mixture of L. monocytogenes was inoculated in NBYE (nutrient broth plus 0.6% yeast extract) supplemented with NaNO2 (0-141 ppm) and NaCl (0-1.75%). The inoculated samples were then stored under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at...

OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of low serum Se and determine whether HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and/or the types of drugs used are associated with serum Se in a cohort of infected and uninfected drug users. DESIGN Independent correlates of low serum Se levels based on data collected from food recalls, physical examinations and clinical questionnaires were identified using multivariate...

We consider a thin elastic strip Ωh = (0, L) × (−h/2, h/2), and we show that stationary points of the nonlinear elastic energy (per unit height) E(v) = 1 h ∫ Ωh (W (∇v) − h2g(x1) · v) dx whose energy is bounded by Ch 2 converge to stationary points of the Euler-Bernoulli functional J2(ȳ) = ∫ L 0 ( 1 24 Eκ − g · ȳ) dx1 where ȳ : (0, L) → R 2 , with ȳ′ = ( cos θ sin θ ) , and where κ = θ′ . This ...

Abstract In this paper, we study the initial boundary value problem for nonlocal parabolic equation with Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev critical exponent on a bounded domain. We are concerned long time behaviors of solutions when energy is low, or high. More precisely, by using modified potential well method, obtain global existence and blow-up low critical, it proved that classical. Moreover, an upp...

$K^+\Lambda(1405)$ photoproduction has been studied at the BGOOD experiment via all neutral decay, $\Lambda(1405)\rightarrow\Sigma^0\pi^0$. The unique experimental setup allows both cross section and $\Lambda(1405)$ invariant mass distribution (line shape) to be measured over a broad $K^+$ polar angle range, extending extreme forward angles unattainable previous experiments. Evidence is provide...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience excess cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated the effects of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and dietary intervention on CVD risk in inflammatory arthritis. Twenty-two patients (17 women; 15 with RA and seven with spondyloarthropathy) who were insulin resistant (n = 20), as determined by the Homeostasis Model Assessment, an...
