OBJECTIVE The effect of ghrelin on growth of the newborn has long been argued, but not fully clarified. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between ghrelin levels and growth parameters in the first 3 months of life. METHODS The study included 60 babies (27 girls and 33 boys) born at gestational ages between 38-42 weeks. The newborns were divided into three groups according...

This study investigated social media efficacy on prevention and control of Covid – 19 pandemic in Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State. examine effectiveness awareness created by the Facebook, NCDC messages Twitter LGA, The adopted descriptive research design survey type. A multi-stage sampling technique stratified purposive techniques was employed to select 150 respondents for study...

Introduction The aim was to determine the mitochondrial content, oxidative and nitrosative status in placentas from pregnant women who delivery newborns with alteration of intrauterine growth. Material methods Placentas were selected because classified as small for gestational age (SGA, lowest 10th percentile; n = 9), appropriate (AGA; 9) large (LGA, tallest 90th 9). In placenta tissue status, ...

The dynamics of wealth distribution plays a critical role in the economic market, hence an understanding its nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is great importance to human society. For this aim, simple and efficient one-dimensional (1D) lattice gas automaton (LGA) presented for agents with or without saving propensity. LGA comprises two stages, i.e., random propagation transaction. During fo...

The ‘Abb®sid caliphs al-Ma’m‚n and al-Mu‘ta◊im, who between them reigned from 198 to 227 A.H. (813-842 A.D.) are best-known to historians of philosophy for two things. First, they supported a massive translation project that had already begun in the previous century with al-Ma’m‚n’s grandfather, al-Man◊‚r. The result was that many of the most important works of Greek philosophy and science were...

The evolution of a quantum lattice gas automaton (LGA) for a single charged particle is invariant under multiplication of the wave function by a global phase. Requiring invariance under the corresponding local gauge transformations determines the rule for minimal coupling to an arbitrary external electromagnetic field. We develop the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the resulting model into a constant t...

OBJECTIVE To determine trends in pregnancy-associated cancer and associations between maternal cancer and pregnancy outcomes. DESIGN Population-based cohort study. SETTING New South Wales, Australia, 1994-2008. POPULATION A total of 781 907 women and their 1 309 501 maternities. METHODS Cancer and maternal information were obtained from linked cancer registry, birth and hospital records...

Surface samples have been collected from Kerala coast, Valapatanam-Azhikode deposit of northern Kerala coast. The average heavy minerals percentage shows 30.32 %. The heavy mineral assemblage of samples from area showed an appreciable percentage of opaque followed by sillimanite and zircon. The chemical analysis carried out for the present investigation, is detailed as Ferrian ilmenite. X-ray d...
