Dietary fiber (DF) intake may be beneficial for cardiometabolic health. However, whether this already occurs in early childhood is unclear. We investigated associations between DF intake in infancy and cardiometabolic health in childhood among 2032 children participating in a population-based cohort in The Netherlands. Information on DF intake at a median age of 12.9 months was collected using ...

The majority of dietary fibre (DF) originates from plant cell walls. Chemically, DF mostly comprise carbohydrate polymers, which resist hydrolysis by digestive enzymes in the mammalian small intestine, but can be fermented by large intestinal bacteria. One of the main benefits of DF relate to its fermentability, which affects microbial diversity and function within the gastro-intestinal tract (...

Food-based dietary guidelines shift the focus from single nutrients to whole diet. Guideline 3 of the Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADG) recommends "limiting" discretionary foods and beverages (DF)-Those high in saturated fat, added sugars, salt, and/or alcohol. In Australia, DF contribute 35% of total energy intake. Using the ADG supporting documents, the aim of this study was to develop a fo...

fever (DHF) have been occurring in the South East Asian Region (SEAR)1 and are considered to be an emerging public health problem world over2. Dengue is an Aedes transmitted viral infection caused by any of the four dengue virus serotypes (DENV 1–4) which belong to the genus Flavivirus. This virus causes spectrum of manifestations ranging from DF to DHF and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which is...

The aim of this study was to compare out of camera view seizure occurrence rates between psychogenic non-epileptic and epileptic seizures during long-term video-EEG monitoring. From 1996 to 2001, 208 adult patients were monitored in 212 sessions, and 196 patients were included in the study. Depending on video-EEG recordings and witnessed accounts, 18 of the patients had no seizures recorded, 16...

This study showed the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) variants as well as nucleotide changes within L1 gene and LCR of the HPV16, HPV31, and HPV58 found in cervical lesions of women from North-East Brazil.

Cells of Escherichia coli treated with lysozyme and Brij-58 become permeable to proteins, but do not release their DNA. I incubated permeable cells with an endonuclease that produces single-strand breaks in DNA-containing pyrimidine dimers. The enzyme entered the permeable cells, and, if they had been irradiated with ultraviolet light, caused breaks in their DNA. The frequency of breaks was est...

The potencies of atracurium, Org NC 45 and pancuronium were determined using cumulative dose-response curves. The effective doses producing 95% twitch depression were 279 microgram kg-1, 56 microgram kg-1 and 64 microgram kg-1 respectively, the relative potency being 1:5.0:4.3. The calculated log-probit dose-response curves showed the steepest slope for pancuronium, although the slopes did not ...

Abstract—Past earthquakes have shown that seismic events may incur large economic losses in buildings. FEMA P-58 provides engineers a practical tool for the performance seismic assessment of buildings. In this study, FEMA P-58 is applied to two typical Italian pre-1970 reinforced concrete frame buildings, characterized by plain rebars as steel reinforcement and masonry infills and partitions. G...
