Three studies compared 98 children with spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM)-a disorder associated with high rates of math disability and spatial deficits-to 94 typically developing children on multidigit subtraction and cognitive addition tasks. Children with SBM were classified into those with reading decoding and math disability, only math disability, and no reading or math disability. Study ...

An experiment was conducted to determine protein quality in processed protein sources using the content of AA, -methylisourea (OMIU)-reactive Lys, Maillard reaction products (MRP), and cross-link products; the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA; and growth performance in growing pigs as criteria. Differences in protein quality were created by secondary toasting (at 95°C for 30 ...

Purpose: Although it is widely accepted that physical activity (PA) positively, and screen-based media use (SBM) negatively, affects well-being, there is a lack of studies relating PA and SBM to health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents. We examined these associations in German adolescents for different HRQoL subdomains and explored the role of body satisfaction as a possible mediat...

Our objective was to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA in soybean meal (SBM) and canola, cotton, and sunflower products fed to finishing pigs. Each of 8 barrows (average initial BW = 106.6 ± 5.5 kg) were surgically fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum. Pigs were allotted to an 8 × 8 Latin square design with 8 diets and 8 periods. The 7 protein ingredients ...

This study aimed to evaluate whole white lupin (cv. Amiga) seeds as an alternative dietary crude protein source to soybean and sunflower meal. Diets contained soybean meal (10%, SBM diet), sunflower meal (17%, SFM diet) or white lupin seeds (15%, WL diet) as the main protein source. The experimental diets were similar in the level of crude protein (16.2%), starch (15.0%), fat (4.6%) and in the ...

An experiment was conducted to measure the effect of adding soybean oil to soybean meal (SBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) on apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of CP and AA by growing pigs. A second objective was to compare AID and SID of AA in a new high-protein variety of full fat soybeans (FFSB) to values obtained in other soybean products. Commercial sources of ...

A multivariate source-based morphometry (SBM) method for processing fractional anisotropy (FA) data is presented. SBM utilizes independent component analysis (ICA) and decomposes an FA image into spatial maps and loading coefficients. The loading coefficients represent the relative degree each component contributes to a given subject's FA map. We hypothesized that SBM analysis on a large datase...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the digestibility of energy and nutrients and the concentration of DE, ME, and NE in fermented soybean meal (FSBM), conventional soybean meal (SBM-CV), and fish meal fed to weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 36 barrows (initial BW: 22.0 ± 3.85 kg) were placed in metabolism cages and allotted to a randomized complete block design with 4 diets and 9 pigs per die...

This study investigated long-term effects on nutrient digestibility and protein and lipid growth of soy protein and lipid levels used in commercial grower diets for Atlantic salmon. Two series of Ž . extruded diets were formulated to contain either 45% protein and 32% lipid medium fat or 40% Ž . protein and 39% lipid high fat . Each series consisted of six diets in which a soy protein source Ž ...

Thirty-two crossbred (Suffolk x Rambouillet) wether lambs were used to examine the effectiveness of protein source (soybean meal [SBM] or fish meal [FM]) in alleviating decreased performance associated with dietary aflatoxin (AF) in growing lambs. After a 21-d adaptation period to concentrate diets, lambs were assigned to the following dietary treatments: 1) SBM, 0 mg of AF; 2) FM, 0 mg of AF; ...
